Therapy is a collaborative journey. I believe in holding space for your story while we work together on achieving your goals. When you come to a therapy session, my hope is that you can come as you are, and be your authentic self.

I particularly enjoy clients who are motivated to create change in their lives. Often crisis or exasperation brings us to the place where we know we have to change. Awareness and consciousness are the primary ingredients needed for real change in our individual lives. We are all far more important to others and have far more potential than we realize. My job is to awaken that awareness in my client. No matter where you are starting, your strength is in the desire to start.

We are all experiencing life: the good, the bad, and the painful. Whether we are chasing lofty goals or responding to complex responsibilities, stress and frustration broach our lives and create dysregulation in our bodies. This physiological dysregulation can lead to anxiety and depression, significantly impacting daily life. As William James stated, “The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.”

Life can be rough for young adults today; whether it's school/work struggles, peer or relationship issues, pressures from social media, anxiety & depression symptoms, and so much more. Even though we intellectually know there are others experiencing similar feelings, it still feels lonely. It's difficult to open up to family and friends as we don't want to feel like a burden and don’t want to disappoint anyone, but it ends up feeling like "no one gets me". My passion is to help young adults discover their worth, to feel understood, and get to a healthy and happy space in life.

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.
