Let’s be real. Life can be tough. So tough. However, you’ve already taken the first step, and it’s a huge step. I would love to partner with you through these challenges. One of my greatest passions is working with children and adolescents; whether it’s anxiety, depression, anger, or self harm. If they are working through hardship from a divorce, grief, behavior issues, or peer interactions or any other issue I’d love to help! I also love family therapy and walking alongside individuals as they meet and succeed their goals. I have a nonjudgmental approach. All are welcome. I am direct, yet I have great empathy.

My goal is to help people live fully and unencumbered by their past. All too often we are held back by our attitudes and behaviors, confused as to why we feel anxious, sad or lost. It is difficult to make changes when you don't understand the reason behind your thoughts and behaviors. Understanding ourselves and our past in a deeper way allows us to break free of unhealthy relationships and attitudes. The more aware we are of ourselves and the world the more choices we have as to how we live our lives.

I know what it's like to wonder if you're broken. You're feeling confused, frustrated, angry, and at war with yourself. I know you feel anxious all the time. That finding a direction for yourself is hard, because of the self-loathing that has become so normal for you, you don't even notice it half the time. I know that you know you "should" be accepting of your body and who you are, but you have tried in a million different ways and don't know how. So you get one more iced coffee; stay a little longer at work; binge that comfort show one more time, in an attempt to stave off the loneliness and pain.

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.
