With compassion, I meet clients where they are in their lives. I spend time getting to know my clients and their own hopes for themselves. Therapy works best when clients feel connected to the therapist and are hopeful about the goals we set together. I help clients feel positive about their lives and future, work with them to accept our humanness, and offer ways to communicate their stories, even if not with words. I hold space for clients who are adults and teens trying to love the skin they are in, parents trying to understand their kids, those with new or long-term grief, and young adults figuring out the future.

In my early twenties I remember feeling like everyone else had it figured out while I was still trying to understand who I was and what I wanted. Those years after high school and college can feel overwhelming with no clear roadmap—just endless possibilities that are both exciting and terrifying. No semester schedule telling you what comes next. I wish someone had told me that this uncertainty isn't just normal, it's necessary for finding your authentic path through life. Those questions you're asking yourself? That discomfort you're feeling? They are actually signs you're doing the important work of growing into who you want to be.

I often hear, "But other people have it worse," in an attempt to downplay our struggles and make things feel more manageable. While this mindset may be helpful at times, it also minimizes the importance of our current situation and dismisses our feelings. Whatever you are facing, if it's important to you it's also important to me. As a clinician with experience in multiple therapeutic settings, I have treated panic disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I also have a special spot in my heart for grief and loss and have treated those struggling with prolonged grief.

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.
