The decision to seek help from a mental health professional is not an easy one. If you've never been in therapy before, you likely have no idea what to expect, and you may worry that you'll be judged, criticized, or labeled as "crazy." If you have been to therapy before, the thought of "starting all over" with someone new can also be overwhelming, especially if your previous experiences haven't been very helpful. Whether you're a therapy veteran or a newbie, I believe I can help.

I am a straight, married, biracial woman who has extensive experience with the church (for better and for worse) and I am welcoming to people from all walks of life.
If it feels like you're in a constant battle within your mind, you're not alone. Many people experience negative thoughts and feelings that sometimes feel overwhelming. Maybe you're struggling with self-esteem, depression, or anxiety. Maybe you're confronting tension in your faith or close relationships. Perhaps you're left reeling after a life event. Big and small life changes alike can cause you to feel like your foundations are shaking. But whatever you may be experiencing, finding the right therapist can go a long way towards healing and growth. This is where I hope to help!

Have you ever thought, "I don't want them to judge me." Maybe this is your roadblock from exploring the pain caused by the experiences you've had in life. It's something that I have heard many times in my role as a therapist. The reality is that I am not only not in a position to judge, but it is nothing short of an honor to be the one that gets to sit across from anyone who takes the courageous step to explore their trauma. I have experienced the weight of a person verbalizing a trauma for the first time and I would be honored to have that moment with you.

At times, the journey may grow to feel overwhelming emotionally, physically, and mentally. Having a safe and supportive place to share experiences can support personal growth and wellness. Sometimes taking a pause and letting someone in to help along the way can feel like a big step, but taking this step with the right care and support can be life changing. I focus on counseling services for teens and adults. I have experience in working with those with Autism, Intellectual Disability, Neurodivergent, Trauma, ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression.

As Natalie Rogers said, "If a person feels accepted and understood, then healing occurred." Whether you are facing a challenging transition period in your life, recovering from trauma, or struggling with mood disorders, I believe in the benefit of exploring our lived experiences through artistic reflection. I enjoy working with teens through older adulthood who desire to open their minds and hearts to new ways of thinking.

The second half of life can be much better than the first. In fact, midlife is an ideal time for healing, growth, and change. So if your ship launched on choppy waters or rocky shoals and you're still navigating rough seas, a midlife course correction could help. What's required? Openness to new experience, willingness to engage, capacity to commit, and a therapist who knows what's possible and how to achieve it. A seasoned mariner can help you navigate your midlife passage with the art of healing, the science of change, and the "hard work miracle" of growth.

Death is a part of being human, yet the chaos of grief can bring the strongest to their knees and the heartbreak of loss can make us feel that we've lost our way. I have more than 10 years specialized experience in helping people cope with chronic/terminal illness, death, dying, grief and loss. Grief is a lived experience to move through, not a simple problem to fix. I specialize in helping others find their way through the chaos and darkness to (re)find themselves and the joy and beauty of the world around them. I also help people work through traumatic experiences, either in the past or present, that surface through grief.

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.
