Helping people to develop tools to cope with life's difficulties is my ultimate goal. I hold my clients' trust as sacred and partner with them to strengthen and deepen the relationships around them.

My own personal experience allows me to be understanding and empathetic toward both children and women struggling with behavior issues, parenting struggles, trauma, or mental health issues.
Prior to pursuing my dream of becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor, I was a master level special education and general education teacher. As a result, I have extensive training and background in child development, Special Education, and issues a child might face both behaviorally and academically in the school setting. Therefore, I primarily work with children and their families to help develop coping skills, anger management strategies, and self-regulation strategies for anxiety. I highly encourage family participation and often help with parenting skills in order to aid in improving, overall, the effective function of the family system.

Our experienced and licensed therapists provide psychotherapy services to children, adolescents, adults, couples and families who struggle with interpersonal conflicts and emotional disturbances that may be inadvertently caused by substance use, domestic violence, mental illness, or transitional stages in life. We understand the ambivalent feelings individuals may have when seeing a counselor and are committed to ensuring your comfort and safety. Many of our clients are men. Our goal is to provide hope and to partner with you as we navigate the obstacles in your life. "Hope" is the feeling we have that the feeling we have is not permanent.

Accepting new clients! Life, especially these days, can seem overwhelming and take a toll on mental and physical health. Outwardly, many of us present ourselves as being okay, but inside, there can be pain and inexplicable sorrow. Fear of change - even positive change - may instill feelings of anxiety, depression, vulnerability and helplessness. I work with teens, adults and couples struggling with trauma, addictions, anger, codependency, disorders and disabilities. Digging deep into emotions can seem daunting; however, looking inward to discover how past experiences contribute to our current state of being can be enlightening.

They don’t know that underneath, you’re anticipating and adjusting, careful not to upset the balance that feels more fragile by the day. Sometimes you worry that smallest ripple could send everything crashing down. The question isn’t whether you’re capable—you’ve proven that. But you ask yourself, Why is it always up to you to keep everything together? You want to be present with the kids. They deserve more, but you're running on fumes here.

Life stressors, relationship issues, traumatic experiences, and anxiety can all lead us to feel overwhelmed, stuck, and sometimes hopeless.

Whether you are struggling with trauma, difficult relationships, or general dissatisfaction, therapy can help you learn to respond to challenges more productively and with improved flexibility. Looking at one's behaviors and relationships is challenging, but sharing that exploration with a compassionate person can be transformational. My goal is to create a non-judgmental, supportive environment where we can look at your past and present to understand why you might be responding to life in ways that are less than satisfying. We can then focus on how you can pursue your goals, have more intimacy, and feel more vital.

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.
