Every day, therapists work with clients who have experienced past trauma, grief or loss, addiction(s), food issues, lasting effects from abuse, or other life altering challenges. I am skilled at helping trauma victims learn to "tell their story" in a safe and non-judgmental environment and guide them towards healing. It is my mission to assist clients in seeing dramatic improvements in their ability to trust, forgive, recover, and learn to move forward with their lives.

I have worked with men and women, veterans, aged persons and teenagers.
Women and men who have experienced trauma in any way are the clients I work with most and enjoy helping. I want to help them release some of the pain and tension their bodies hold. I would like to honor where they have been and where they would like to be. I know that living with pain and grief is difficult and I would like to help people heal from things without losing the most precious parts of themselves.

All relationships have conflict. What differentiates secure relationships from the insecure? Is your relationship a place you go to find comfort when life starts to hurt? When there is a rupture to your connection do you know how to repair and return to a felt sense of safety and closeness? Or do you feel the need to fight and protest to be heard or shut down to avoid a fight? Do you find yourself stuck in the same patterns, having the same conflict with the same unresolved outcomes that leave you feeling bad about your partner and yourself? Thankfully there is a path to secure relationship that is unifying and healing.

Our thoughts and feelings affect every part of our lives. They can often be guided by our trauma, anxiety, depression, or life stressors. My goal as a therapist is to work with clients to process and learn ways to live more fully. I lean heavily on focusing on the client’s internal strengths to learn effective strategies. I am guided by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution focused techniques. My experience has given me the opportunity to work with all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, and phase of life issues. It is my goal to provide the client with a safe space free of judgement.

Life does not always come easy and can present us with very difficult challenges. These challenges impact our lives and often cause us to feel alone, ashamed, afraid, inadequate, overwhelmed and lead to isolation, withdrawal, risky behaviors, and decreased functioning in social, work, or other areas of life. Unfortunately, in our struggle to cope, our emotional and mental health needs have often been minimized, pushed down, or completely ignored. Therapy often helps us navigate these challenging times and attain more fulfilling lives.

I believe that therapy is a place to begin the courageous work of knowing the stories of your heart. I know the vulnerable feeling of sitting on the other side of the couch as I have been in counseling at many different stages of my life. I am committed to coming alongside my clients to help them discover who they have been and who they long to be. A life of living fully is waiting when we take the risk to feel, to need, and to connect with others.

I am dedicated to helping my clients build bridges to a healthier, happier life. Are you going through a big change? Life calls us into constant change. Whether planned and joyful or unexpected and grief filled: changes in relationships; parenting; or career - they take their toll on each of us. Healing through grieving, stretching, adjusting, and growing can be blocked when you feel overwhelming emotions, when you are fearful and avoidant of what is to come, and when you simply don't know how to move ahead. I listen to, support, and teach my clients to help reduce anxiety, depression, and stress that comes with life transitions.

Feeling overwhelmed? Something's off but you just can't put your finger on it. Maybe you are a new mom or about to be one, or even a seasoned one and life is just getting to be too much. Maybe you have been growing more and more fed up at work. Maybe your relationship with your partner has not been going well. Maybe you and your partner have been trying to decide if you want to have kids. Maybe you have been feeling sad, tired, tearful and it doesn't seem to ever go away. Maybe you have been feeling on edge, unable to sleep, angry. All you want is to feel better, be happier, find clarity, or find peace.

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.
