In addition to my education, I have certifications in counseling women , neurobiology, sexual abuse and life coaching.
Do you find yourself struggling with life and relationships? Are there things in your life that you desire to change but you don't know where to start? Do you feel overwhelmed just considering it? I enjoy helping clients working through transitional times through counseling and life coaching, as well as, working with emotional and coping difficulties. I approach therapy from an eclectic, holistic approach, believing that when one facet of a person suffers all others are affected as well. I would love to help you to reach your life goals and to begin to improve your quality of life. I do adult individual and couples therapy.

I specialize in work with young adults who identify as women or femmes.
Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be? We live in a society that tells us who to be. We are taught how to behave, how to dress, how to speak, how to interact with the world… We are often raised in families plagued by generational traumas and toxicity, or simply behavioral patterns that do not support our individual needs and wants. I see you and I hear you. I want you to know that I understand what it feels like to question your identity or to push through societal expectations that no longer serve us. I will provide you with a safe and sacred space to explore who you truly are and wish to be.

I have also worked with women and men in recovery as well as adults with developmental disabilities.
The therapeutic process is unique to the client. For some it involves deep reflection and questioning old idea's, and for others a problem solving collaboration. For me it is the excitement of the journey you will embark on, and the endless possibilities for growth. Transparency is paramount, and key to the process for both client and therapist. Work is progressive and tailored to the individual. As issues emerge, treatment plans are re-assessed and revised to meet client needs. For trauma I am trained in EMDR and Functional Family Systems for addiction CBT and 12-step and for couples family systems.

Looking for brief therapy to work through a specific issue that you've not been able to resolve on your own? EMDR therapy helps people process disturbing memories, thoughts, feelings that can greatly reduce therapy sessions to even just a few sessions in many cases. EMDR can reduce addiction cravings and the intensity of chronic pain and discomfort. It is used to help people lower their anxiety, process trauma and improve confidence. If short-term treatment that focuses on resolving negative thoughts and feelings is what you are looking for, contact me to schedule an appointment.

Life is hard. Hope is found in facing the reality of your past and present. The goal of treatment that I strive for is for you to become all you were created to be; to be healed from the pain of the past, and move into the possibilities of the future. Whatever the past has thrown your way; whatever you are facing today; whatever future challenges are producing fear and anxiety, I would consider it a privilege to help you overcome your hurts, habits, and hang-ups. The past cannot be changed...the future is yet in your power. Don't let your past dictate who you are....Let it be part of who you will become.

ADHD is more than distraction or being unable to sit still. It affects every aspect of our lives. Maybe you're struggling with procrastination, time blindness, feeling "edgy," forgetting things, missing deadlines. You call yourself lazy but you just can't get moving to get things done. Maybe you've been told you're too sensitive- feeling easily hurt or angry. Those of us w/ADHD often feel shame and embarrassment from our actions- like saying things we regret or acting impulsively. We constantly feel like failures, always trying to hide our embarrassment. We'll often pretend we're fine and push through, but life feels overwhelming.

I know first hand the twists and turns life can take you on. I enjoy assisting others on that same journey who are feeling the pressures of everyday life. I connect easily with people of all ages and walk along side their struggles with them allowing them to be who they are. I believe each struggle is an opportunity for growth and a lesson to propel us into the person we are to become. Depression and anxiety rates are higher now than ever before. You are not alone if you are feeling overwhelmed and distraught. The truth is you are enough and I would love the opportunity to walk through the battlefield with you.

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.
