You’ve been carrying a lot — maybe quietly. Even when things look “fine” on the outside, inside you may feel drained, anxious, or disconnected. You’re not broken — you’re human. Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals who appear composed and capable yet feel weighed down by overthinking, self-doubt, or the constant pressure to do more. In therapy, the goal is to turn down the noise that keeps you stuck so you can refocus on what’s meaningful and fulfilling. Together, we’ll uncover what drives your stress, strengthen how you relate to yourself and others, and create more calm, clarity, and purpose in daily life.

One of my very favorite quotes by Brene Brown is, "Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they are never weakness." As life will sometimes present challenges that may be difficult to navigate, it's not necessary to navigate those challenges alone. I would love to support you in discovering the courage to navigate your truth. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I offer treatment that is goal oriented using a variety of therapeutic approaches.

Sometimes, our minds simply won’t slow down especially when dealing with intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and the effects of trauma. Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and the impact of past or ongoing trauma can feel heavy, confusing, and at times frightening. It can be hard to make sense of what you’re feeling, let alone know what to do next. You might be stuck in loops of overthinking, replaying conversations, or questioning your own thoughts. It can be exhausting to feel like your mind never gives you a break. We all need a space where we can feel safe, heard, seen, and cared about as we work through the hard and hidden spots in us.

I have a strong passion for partnering with clients in the process of breaking free from the dynamics and behaviors keeping them disconnected from their lives. This could include addressing trauma, shame, family of origin issues, substance abuse, eating disorders, and other issues creating distance in clients' relationships-with others and with themselves. "Surviving" life is very different from truly living it, and I feel honored to help others begin to reclaim their lives and their bodies as they discover freedom from those burdens.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, 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 because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
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 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.
