Individual & Couples Therapy - Learning communication & self-awareness skills improves relationships within your self (by increasing confidence & motivation while developing your identity) & cultivates satisfying relationships with others.
Many people hope to be understood more fully & wish for improved communication so their relationships feel less tense & “just work better.” Working better often means less yelling; increased freedom to be oneself; trust that each person’s point of view matters & that there is a willingness for each person to be heard; plus there is often a wish to express difficult truths without hurting others.

If you are feeling anxious, lost, or uncertain in the tumult of today's busy world please reach out. I work with individuals from all walks of life, struggling with a variety of conditions. I take a collaborative approach to treatment, emphasizing personal control in therapy. My interest in psychotherapy stems from my fascination with language and communication.

Whether you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or simply not quite like yourself, reaching out for therapy can be an important first step.

Are you experiencing symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression? Are you struggling to navigate unhealthy or abusive relationships?

I am a Licensed Psychologist Master with over thirty years experience in working with adult survivors of childhood abuse and neglect. Depression, anxiety, or just a sense of life feeling less than what it could be, may be signs of childhood abuse or neglect. I help people navigate the sometimes choppy waters from their past in order to be fully living in the present. I am trained by Pia Melody in Post Induction Therapy for addressing the effects of codependence: low self esteem, impaired boundaries, knowing who you are , and difficulties with self care. Trauma creates addictions creates relational problems.

I believe that all of us experience pain and suffering–and, just as importantly, everyone can be resilient. At some points in life, it’s helpful to have a guide help us to see a clearer path forward. My role is to help you tap into your own values and strengths to move towards a purposeful life with less struggling and more contentment. I like working with clients to address relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, and communication and boundary concerns.

You may be doing your best to keep things together while still feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck.

Therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. I offer a warm, relaxed, and nonjudgmental space where we can explore what you’ve been carrying and help you reconnect with yourself.

Not feeling comfortable in your own skin? Struggling to adjust to life changes? These are normal parts of the human experience, but sometimes they strain our typical ability to cope.

My passion is to support you as you grow into the best version of yourself. Together, we’ll explore your story. As we go down this exciting road, I’ll help you create your own life narrative which works for you.

I have openings for individuals, couples and clinical supervision.
We all have times when life becomes a struggle, or we've been in survival mode so long we’ve forgotten what it feels like to be happy and thrive. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, confusion, negative self-talk, irritability, constant thinking, sadness, grief, stuckness, less capacity to manage stress, going over what ifs and should haves, relationship issues…in short, you’re suffering, it’s not getting better and it’s not fun. I've helped many clients find relief from these struggles and regain joy. I’m here to help you find that relief too!

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 your 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.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
What are the advantages of seeing 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. Women who see a female therapist may also feel freer to discuss challenges that are closely tied to gender, such as life transitions including motherhood or menopause. Some clients who instinctively feel more comfortable disclosing to women may find it easier to broach sensitive subjects with a female therapist.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.
Is therapy different for men and women?
Therapy can be different for men and women insofar as gender plays a role in the challenges an individual faces and the events in life an individual has experienced. Women often face different expectations from their families, friends, and society than men do. In some cases, women might feel most comfortable expressing themselves differently from how men do. Talking about one's feelings and emotions is a critical part of most therapies, and some women might find it comes more naturally when talking to a female therapist. Ultimately, though, therapeutic treatment should be tailored to the individual's specific needs.
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.
