We all have a need to tell our story. Finding a therapist to help you through this journey called life is an important decision. Now more than ever you may be struggling with uncertainty, anxiety and depression. At its best, psychotherapy is a process of mutual discovery and a relationship that unfolds over time.

If you have a feeling that you may be holding yourself back from experiencing your full potential because of trauma, difficult to manage emotions, addiction or depression, psychoanalytic psychotherapy may be a beneficial path for you. This type of therapy helps you explore how things outside of your awareness affect your life and is focused on helping you unravel patterns that may be making you feel stuck or alone. If you are interested in going beyond symptom relief to explore yourself on a deeper level, I would be honored to meet you in that journey.

I have helped couples for 30 years to transform their relationship using Imago Relationship Therapy. I teach couples a communication skill set that foster emotional maturity and respect. This changes relationships. Being in relationship can be challenging during the second stage of relationship when the newness recedes and irritations begins. The Imago model increases consciousness and healing around the origins of conflict. This awareness empowers couples in their ability to change so they are no longer victims to dysfunctional patterns. I incorporate a psycho-spiritual approach in my Imago work as well as individual counseling.

I specialize in working with people who feel like they've lost their connection with themselves as a result of trauma. It might be easy for you to be there for others but struggle showing up for yourself. You might be really good at identifying your emotions but struggle actually feeling them. Your inner voice might be too mean, and you feel like your own worst enemy. If this resonates with you and you're looking for different therapeutic methods that go beyond talk therapy and delve deeper into self-exploration, I can be of help.

Hi I'm Morgan, thank you for being here! I enjoy working with people who struggle to set boundaries, who struggle coping with life/relationship stressors, and who want more for themselves. I believe that we cannot have compassion for things we cannot understand—including ourselves. I hope to form a close and collaborative relationship with you so you can feel seen, understood, and safe to try new things. I strongly believe in providing all my clients with a judgement-free zone to explore not only what is holding you back from living a full and vibrant life, but also if something needs to change (however terrifying that may be).

Life isn’t easy; it’s no wonder so many of us feel weighed down by depression, crippled by anxiety or tangled up in family conflict. Sometimes we get so overwhelmed, we’re not sure what we even feel anymore. Emotionally and physically exhausted, it’s hard to know where to start or find the energy to look for help. Just making that first phone call itself can feel so daunting. We put it off and the days drag on; we may begin to feel like, “What’s the point?" But you're reading this, which means you've already taken the first step. I believe meaningful change is possible with the right support. So here's what comes next:

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.
