“The past is just the past,” they say. You’ve tried to let it go, ignore it, bury it away, but it still seems to haunt you. Growing up you saw the fights, cleaned up the messes, felt the pain of hurtful words, and covered up so many cuts and bruises. You did what you had to do to survive and got out as fast as you could. You were determined that your life would be different. And for the most part it is. Unfortunately, the emotional remnants remain; anxiety, feeling like you’re “not enough,” the disconnect from others...You’re ready to finally shed these struggles, but you need some help getting from here to the life you want.

Do you ever wish you could truly be listened to and understood? I have felt the intensity of that longing and know the joy of having it answered. Because of my experience, I love connecting with people, building relationships, and hearing people's true hearts. It can feel scary to invite another person into our deepest places, but it can help us clarify who we are and allow us to experience healing within a safe relationship. This is why I love counseling. It is a joy to walk alongside people as they discover who they are made to be.

Everyone has their own mountains to climb, and dark nights to get through in this life. I believe that seeking and accepting support is the key to conquering any obstacle. Therapy is a courageous step towards embracing personal growth and harnessing inner strength. Drawing from my experience, I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and a person-centered, strengths-based approach in my practice. I am also trained in EMDR. These evidence-based modalities provide a solid foundation for fostering transformative change and equipping individuals with the tools they need to overcome personal hurdles.

In those moments when the weight of your thoughts feels overwhelming, when tears stain the pillow, and your inner critic shouts that you're not enough, I want you to know that you don't have to face this darkness alone. True healing occurs when you are at ease and comfortable. Starting this journey may feel daunting, but you've initiated the first step toward self-discovery and healing. Go you!

You need to work on your trauma but the idea feels daunting. Trauma work can take months or even years, but it doesn't have to. I offer EMDR Intensives, an accelerated form of therapy, to help you feel better faster. EMDR Intensives are usually provided in day-long sessions (6 hours per day) over consecutive days. Instead of doing therapy once a week over a long period, intensives allow you to work through trauma over a few days. For some people, an EMDR Intensive can replace months of weekly therapy; for others, it can jump-start the healing process. You don’t have to wait - you can start feeling better right away!

My approach to therapy relies on establishing a collaborative relationship with my patient(s) so that we can work together to identify the habitual patterns of thinking, feeling and acting that keep you from enjoying the quality of life you would like for yourself. I create a supportive environment that allows you the patient to talk openly without fear of judgment. By the time you leave therapy you will not only have solved the problem that brought you in, but you will take away a set of skills that will help you effectively cope with whatever challenges life may present in the future.

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.
