It's a quickly changing world and that can make life very difficult at times. The opportunity to relate and learn helpful tools in a confidential, non-judgmental environment is an amazing healing and pro-active experience. I have over 10 years in practice and have worked with children, teens, families and couples in multiple areas including anxiety, depression, trauma and better communication. I am also fortunate enough to work within the LGBTQ+ and poly communities. I do not accept insurance at this time but will work diligently to help with any financial concerns.

I believe that everyone has their own journey that they are struggling with, and that often this journey is misunderstood and unidentified. I aim to help my clients understand their inner world, in order to help them understand how to help live a fulfilling and engaging life. I enjoy helping my clients understand the neurological basis of their actions, and help them change their response through a variety of interventions. I enjoy working with clients who recognize that their pain does not have to be their story, but can be the blocks on which they begin to recognize how to build a future that brings them joy.

A therapist has three jobs: to listen, to teach and to instill hope. I'd be grateful for the opportunity to do those things for you. I consider myself a "guardian of potential"-I see people beyond the problems that bring them to my office and for who they really are. I have the ability to "reach the unreachable". You may be nervous about trying therapy for the first time, or you may have had bad experiences in the past, but I believe in the power of human connection and I believe you no longer have to live in the pain or circumstances you've been in. The time for change has arrived!

Women come to me looking for a therapist who can guide them through the nuanced work of finding immediate relief from anxiety and overwhelm as well as getting to the root of the problem for deeper healing.
Are you someone whose life looks “good” from the outside, and yet it still feels like something is missing? You’ve accomplished a lot, but you’re not feeling the fulfillment you expected. Anxiety or a big life change – maybe a breakup, new job, new marriage, parenthood, change in family dynamic or move – has highlighted that you’re still not living the fullest, most authentic life you want to be living. Something is telling you that you need to make a shift (even if you’re not quite sure what it is). You want to gain deeper insight into yourself, your past and you’re ready to start living wholeheartedly and joyfully here and now.

Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and addictions impact how we show up in our work and relationships, inhibiting our ability to reach our fullest potential. Sometimes we can feel too vulnerable talking to our friends and family about feelings of shame and guilt. Therapy is not only a safe, nonjudgemental space for expressing your concerns, but also an alliance that fosters positive change. Through unpacking the words of your inner critics, you have the opportunity to find your true self and experience self forgiveness, confidence, love, and acceptance.

Female Therapists
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.
