Life is not always easy and we may not always be aware of what tools could help us during difficult times. Sometimes we just need support to help us navigate through a challenging time. You are not alone. As a therapist, my goal is to help clients become the best versions of themselves. I have assisted clients in processing and integrating trauma, reducing frequency of panic attacks, developing better coping and self regulation strategies, and reducing their shame.

When we connect, we boost our mood and increase our ability to manage our emotions. Partnering with a supportive therapist is the first step. With a supportive connection, you can discover your unmet needs and embrace your vulnerability with courage. Meeting what scares us the most is our greatest potential for reclaiming our power. When we are the empowered hero of our story, we can make positive changes for ourselves - or find the courage to let go of what we can not change.

Life can be hard…therapy helps. We experience many changes in our lifetime and all of them - whether positive or negative changes - can cause stress. As a society we are not great at acknowledging the negative or the stress that accompanies these life changes. Social media has only amplified this ever present pressure for the “perfect life.” The reality is that life can be hard and the world is not always perfect or kind. Therapy can help us to better understand the stressors in our life and develop a plan to cope with those stressors.

Are you looking for a better approach toward life, your relationships, your career, life's transitions, your family? Our journey in life causes us to reflect on our experiences, which develop, define, and teach us, not only about ourselves but the lives of those around us and the world itself. Life often has a way of teaching us what we have either longed for, what we need to learn, or what we can learn, to help us work through difficult times, in order to allow ourselves the ability to love ourselves. It’s through these experiences/ times that we become stronger, to allow ourselves to heal to become the best version of ourselves.

In a non judge-mental and safe atmosphere, I have been proudly serving my community for over seventeen years. Confidentiality and trust is key within my private practice. I work with individuals, couples and families to achieve greater satisfaction within their lives. Understanding, acquiring and maintaining change is a major focus. Anxiety, stress, and depression are only a few issues that disturb our mental well being. While trying to be in a productive relationship, one may lose harmony. This can affect all involved, including the family unit. Appropriate communication and coping skills is another important part of my work.

Disruptive behaviors, changes in the family structure, traumatic experiences and developmental issues are some of many challenges families are faced with.

I offer individual, parent-child (dyadic), group, and individual parent consultations services. These services are available to those seeking support, guidance, and meaning to what is taking place within themselves, their child, or their family.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as 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 ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
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—both men and women—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.
