It's normal for life to feel hard, but there are times when it just feels like too much. When you can't figure out what has you feeling stuck and what might help you move forward in a different way, therapy can really help. I believe that looking at you and your life from a place of interest and curiosity, with non-judgmental fresh eyes, and really feeling like someone cares about you and how you are struggling are some of the best things therapy has to offer.

Trauma isn’t what happens to us. It’s what happens inside of us. If I have learned anything from my own pain, my clients' pain, and the failures of our current system of mental health treatment, it’s that we are constantly misunderstanding the role of traumatic experience. Together we will find a therapeutic approach that works for you and your unique experience. In order to create lasting change in our lives, we need more from therapy than a verbal exchange. Over the last ten years, I have studied and employed a variety of experiential methods to address the root causes of trauma and help individuals invite lasting personal growth.

Entering into therapy, whether it be for yourself or your child, is a process in uncovering the self and true identity. Grief, loss, trauma, various life transitions and challenges can shake our sense of self. The creative process is intrinsically healing and offers a safe space to sort through various emotions, and reorganize your brain & thoughts. Children and teens need creative space and play outside of their structured days. Within my art studio/office, I offer ceramics, painting, collage, drawing, fiber arts, sculpture and art with recyclables. I also work with adults in their creative process to unlock blocks.

You've got a lot on your plate and everyone thinks you've got it all under control. But just because you carry it well doesn't mean it isn't heavy. You're making time for everyone else's needs but you feel anxious and mad. You need to take some time to show up for yourself with love and patience. But that feels hard!
While we often treat them as dangerous or scary, our emotions are our allies, letting us know where our hurts are, where we feel unsafe or unheard. Therapy is the time to listen to them. I work with adults and couples to navigate life challenges and improve communication and connection with themselves and others.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
