How did we end up here? Whether you're a parent or a student, stress is through the roof. Negativity and disappointments just keep pouring in. Everyone’s on edge, frustrated, and fed up with constant letdowns. It feels like you're at your breaking point. Despite countless meetings and efforts, nothing seems to improve. It's someone’s future and happiness at risk, and you're fresh out of ideas and patience. Doubt clouds your mind, wondering if things will ever get easier. You've been stuck in this crazy whirlwind of setbacks for what feels like an eternity, feeling lost because the help you've received hasn't made much difference.

Life at times can be challenging, be that from depression, anxiety, difficult relationships, abuse, aging, work, chronic health problems, co-dependency, low self-esteem, grief, to our own destructive behaviors we can't seem to change. I have experience working with all of these, but helping those going through major life transitions, stress, feeling overwhelmed, and co-parenting after divorce or separation are some of my specialties. I like working with clients who are seeking change and ready to embrace the process of self-exploration and healthy alignment to reduce inner conflict and learn new ways of being in this world.

Life often presents challenges, particularly in times of uncertainty. I firmly believe that each person's unique perspective, influenced by their individual core beliefs and background, significantly shapes how they approach these challenges. Recognizing and respecting the diversity of each client, along with their specific needs, is essential in developing an effective treatment plan. My professional experience includes working with diverse populations, including monolingual Spanish-speaking clients, members of the LGBTQ+ community, women experiencing postpartum depression, and survivors of domestic violence.

We may often find ourselves trying to cope with our struggles on our own - and we might make it work for a while, but over time we can become exhausted, worn down, and confused. I believe reaching out and seeking therapy is a powerful way to support and care for ourselves. In therapy, we acknowledge our challenges, explore our stories & strengths, and learn new skills to promote change, healing, growth and resilience. My goal as a therapist is to create an environment that is open, welcoming, affirming and supportive, building a safe space for you to work towards feeling better, feeling more connected, and being your best self.

You are here to feel better and I can help. I use EMDR for most all of my clients. Emotional pain can lead to unwanted behaviors, ruin relationships, and make life feel rather miserable. EMDR helps clear away those painful, repeating thoughts and memories. EMDR is a "feel good" therapy as we transform the problems, abuse, self hate or traumatic events into the past. We can significantly reduce anxiety, build confidence, improve body image, and so much more improvement in your life. My goal is for you to launch a new strength, enjoy happy relationships, feel love and appreciate yourself. It is possible to get the results you desire.

I am a therapist who cares deeply about meeting each client where they are, taking time to honor their story and find ways towards healing and clarity. By using “Walk and Talk” therapy we are able to break free from the confines of a traditional therapy office, inviting movement to be included in the therapy process. During a session we can walk side by side, allowing the physical activity to help release endorphins and the natural surroundings provide a calming and grounding effect. My goal is for you to feel supported, challenged and encouraged in our work together.

Limited availability. I believe in working together to build supports and a positive experience for the clients I work with. I believe in working on changing thoughts that then can hopefully change behaviors and eventually create a more positive experience/life for the client that I work with. Therapy is a team effort and not just one person is responsible for the outcome. If you have anxiety, depression or have overall negative thoughts that seem to impact you more and more, we can work together to over come that.

To be human is to know trouble and beauty. Much of the time we deal effectively with life's ups and downs. Other times, our resources can be overwhelmed by a major event or loss. Even expected transitions can present a crisis, contributing to depression and anxiety. Lifelong concerns among family members, such as poor communication and/or conflicts, can be improved no matter your stage of 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.
