Sometimes we feel stuck. When we realize staying where we are isn't working, this can be a sign that it is time for positive change. If you're struggling with managing your thoughts and emotions, or maybe experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions - therapy offers you a safe space to talk, and support in finding growth and healing.

Whether you are clumsy, always “on the go”, have difficulty managing emotions and/or concentrating, or are sensitive to things like lights, sounds, food, or textures in clothing, occupational therapy may help with life’s day-to-day stressors. As an OT, I collaborate with children, adults, and their families to find and refine solutions for a more meaningful life. Using a client-centered approach, I use the strengths and interests of my client to help manage stress and improve areas of life that may be difficult.

Reaching out for help is a courageous act. Life can be difficult, painful, and isolating. Oftentimes we find ourselves in "survival mode", acting in ways we don't understand or finding it challenging to identify and vocalize what it is we actually do need. You may be experiencing difficulties in relationships, facing life challenges/changes or generally feeling unsatisfied with your life. Therapy is a safe space to explore what drives painful behaviors, identify what kind of life you do want, and implement positive changes with care and support.

You’re a go-getter. You believe that if there is a way to work your way out of a problem, then defining those steps will get you out of this slump, worry, and recurring conflict. Fear, sleeplessness, dissatisfaction, or sadness coupled with the stress of daily responsibilities is taking its toll. Your upset might manifest as frequent arguing with your partner or emotional numbing. You want to figure this out, so you can all get back to normal. I want to help you re-define normal, not only as a way to be productive but as a way to remain understood, respected, and connected to your loved ones.

In this high-achieving, fast-paced world, you may find yourself struggling with anxiety, burnout, and perfectionism. You might feel like finding balance in life is an impossible goal. Maybe your friends see you as someone who has it all together, but you feel like you're drowning in expectations and overwhelm. While our brains are so adaptive, sometimes we need to partner with someone who sees our struggle underneath the facade. If this sounds like you, I would love to help!

I have a passion to help those who are hurting; knowing and believing people can learn to understand dynamics and become equipped with the tools needed to move forward. I believe every person entering my office is unique, and my approach is to know and understand the person I am working with. My first and foremost goal for therapy is to provide an atmosphere for the individual to feel comfortable enough to be open, honest and vulnerable; to not feel judged, but listened to. The goal for each session is the person feels they have been heard, appropriate techniques provided, and ideas processed.

One of the things life has taught me is to not believe everything you think because our mind can really play tricks on us. There is hope even when you think there is none. There are solutions even when you cannot see them, because you have more power than you know.

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.
