Are you finding yourself scrolling through mental health videos and yelling, "OMG. That's me?!" You are not alone, survival mode really is a thing, there are others out there drinking caffeine like it's water and hiding in the bathroom to eat a cookie in peace. It's time to let down your messy bun, put on the clothes that make you feel good, and let yourself be free to be who you are. If you are a caregiver for little ones, it is time to find out who YOU are outside of what those little ones need. You want to run wild, to fuel your soul, to be fierce, discover who you are again, and love the self you lost while trying to survive.

I love working with teens and adults, and provide treatment for issues including anxiety, depression, relationships, women's issues, LGBTQ, and trauma, including religious trauma.
Trauma comes in all shapes and sizes and its effects show up in our bodies, relationships, and patterns of behavior. Sometimes we find ourselves stuck in these patterns, resulting in anxiety, depression, or disconnection. Do the strategies you've adopted to survive no longer serve you? If you're ready to unlearn conditioned patterns of belief and show up as your most authentic self, I would love to hold space for you. I provide a safe space to show up as your most authentic self, to feel and express difficult emotions, and to navigate daily life situations. Every day is a new opportunity to create the life you want and deserve.

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.
