I have found myself to have an affinity for working with adults, the geriatric population, and individuals navigating challenging transitions in life, assisting clients to cope with social, emotional, crisis, relationship struggles, grief and trauma. Change and even progress often present emotional, relationship, behavioral and other seemingly insurmountable obstacles. My desire is to assist/walk with you to gain insight, develop goals, and increase problem solving and coping skills.

As an experienced psychologist, I believe high-achieving professional women can get off the merry-go-round and find balance by setting boundaries.
My passion is helping women who do too much and love too much. If you’re a woman who is feeling worn out, worried, and needing to regroup, I want to work with you. Together we’ll focus on helping you get quality sleep, clear your head of negative self-talk, and figure out who told you you don’t measure up; learn where this huge need to be everything to everyone came from so we can pull it out by its roots. And then the fun part begins–learning to do nice things for yourself, finding your joy, shaking resentments, learning to enjoy saying “no,” and living the life you want for yourself. It's time to get started with a clear plan.

HelloI'm a therapist with specialized training in the treatment of Anxiety, Depression, Adult ADHD, Autism Spectrum disorder, Trauma, and PTSD. I value a creative approach to wellness that honors safety, authenticity, and honesty. I think of starting therapy like you're cleaning out a closet that you've been storing things in for years. You've been putting things in there for so long that perhaps you've forgotten what was even in there. Together we'll sort through clutter, deciding what you need, getting rid of what you don't, and building structures to organize the parts of life that need organizing.

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.
