Welcome. Do you need a safe space to talk about what you're going through? A space to discuss what is challenging, confusing, upsetting, disconnecting, or distressing? Besides being seen, heard, and understood, therapy can be a space where you can work on your "stuff". This may be addressing your past; building healthier relationships; managing stress from the outside world; adjusting to difficult changes; increasing self-confidence; finding healthier lifestyles; as well as learning coping and wellness skills.

Is your relationship in a rut? Does it seem like you're spending more time in conflict than in love? Are you having the same fight over and over again? Disconnection is incredibly painful in relationships. We all long to feel seen, heard, and understood. We want to feel close and connected, and enjoy being with our beloved. When we get caught in these negative patterns, anger and blame replace tenderness. I can help you understand the cycle, repair and reconnect so that you can enjoy a deep, loving connection with your partner.

“Love shouldn’t hurt.” As a speaker for the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, I resonate with and seek to help women, men and children of all ages through any situation present or past which has violated their human rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Depression, anxiety, grief, and addiction (substances, sex, etc) are some of the most prevalent issues across the world today. These are clients I’d like to work with. It is not an easy road, but the rewards are great when we stick with it, and having someone to support you and talk to along the way is sometimes all the encouragement you need.

Choosing a therapist feels overwhelming, the right connection can change your whole experience. Whether you’ve been in therapy before or it’s your first time, taking the steps to get started is the hardest part. Daily life can be challenging and stressful. Managing daily responsibilities, work, significant others/family/friends; on top of stress of anxiety, that sometimes comes out of no where, depression and/or relationship issues can feel impossible. Learning to balance it all seems out of reach, but it doesn't have to. I have extensive experience in helping people manage through these difficulties and more.

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.
