I love helping people gain the skills they need to heal from the past, live in the present, and look towards the future. My philosophy is that anyone can benefit from counseling, regardless of how big or small their problems might seem. Just as we might take steps to prevent physical ailments by eating healthy and exercising, seeking counseling before life becomes overwhelming helps build coping strategies and mental and emotional health so that when life struggles do arise, we are better equipped to handle them.

I believe my effectiveness is attributed to an empathic attitude in understanding an individual while working with them to heal, grow, and ultimately change self-defeating thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I am a teacher at heart, so my style is highly interactive and solution-oriented. To most effectively meet the needs of all individuals, I practice an integrative approach drawing from Psychodynamic, Family Systems, Imago, Gestalt, and Cognitive-Behavioral models. Areas of emphasis include interpersonal relationship issues, addictions/codependency, family of origin/ACOA issues, boundaries, anxiety/stress/depression, conflict resolution, trauma/emotional healing, and personal/spiritual growth.

My clients include children, preteens, teens, and adults. They are individuals seeking purpose, feeling stuck, or looking for more than just a quick fix. My clients are encouraged to express themselves, share their thoughts, and delve into their concerns. By the end of therapy, they gain a deeper self-awareness and acquire practical tools to make meaningful changes in their daily lives.

Throughout one's life, challenges arise that one may not be able to handle on their own. We all need a safe space, support, and, at times, guidance to work through those challenges. My goal is to provide that space and support to help clients navigate through life and find solutions that work for them. When working with clients, I apply a collaborative approach when addressing anxiety, trauma, substance use, depressive disorders, and things that life can throw in the mix. Together we can work through the emotional and mental battles that are keeping clients from living their best lives, one day at a time.

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.
