Have you found yourself lost, confused, or alone? I am here to serve you. I would love to help you experience well-being and improve your mental health. Sometimes life can turn dark and complex. I have dedicated 15 years to helping children, adolescents, and adults to reach wellness after experiencing trauma, grief, or suffering mental illness. It is possible to recover. There is hope. I have seen light in the darkness through my work in hospitals, disadvantaged communities, non-profit organizations, and private practice.

Many of us struggle with the fear of letting go...of something. It can be a frightening process and you may feel hopeless and helpless at times. However, the empowerment that can be gained by letting go and ridding yourself of negative thoughts can be truly life changing. It may be hard, but my role is to help you reach your personal goals. Counseling is my second career. In the earlier part of my life, I earned an MBA and spent 10 years working in international sales and marketing. I was moved to begin a new career helping other people after counseling personally turned my life around and provided me with balance and peace.

I believe my clients are the experts in their lives, and I am simply here to offer tools, support, and guidance as they build the future they want. Understanding and action are essential to healing, so I use an active and collaborative process to create a space where meaningful change can take root and grow. Transformation often comes from facing the hard stuff head-on, so I bring a direct and solution-focused approach and am not afraid to be honest or challenge clients when needed. My style is practical, structured, and goal-oriented—often incorporating homework to help clients apply what we talk about outside of session.

Do you feel like you're constantly fighting an internal battle—between holding it all together and wanting to just let it all fall apart? Many of the individuals I work with are high-functioning on the outside but feel emotionally overwhelmed on the inside. You might struggle with perfectionism, burnout, emotional ups and downs, or a persistent sense of disconnection. Even when you’ve built a life that “should” make you happy, it can still feel like something is missing—or like you’re faking it just to get through the day. This inner conflict can take a real toll on your relationships, your goals, and your self-worth.

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.
