Seeking out psychotherapy is an investment in yourself so that you can reach your dreams and overcome emotional hurdles like depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, and addictions. I have experience helping hundreds of people jump over these types of hurdles and get more of what they want from life. In addition to traditional psychotherapy, I offer qEEG, which helps to diagnose and predict cognitive issues based on neurologically distinct brain activity, as well as Neurofeedback to successfully target those areas in the brain identified by the qEEG as dysregulated, resulting in reduction of symptoms and increase in optimal functioning.

Here at Evolving Tree Therapy we understand the many challenging demands of Mothers today. Our Mothers have current mental health symptoms impacting their day to day life (anxiety, depression, mood disorder, grief/loss). Our clients are a supporter/caretaker, are the strong one for everyone. They may have a difficult time asking for help, they are frequently tired and overwhelmed craving work life balance. They often feel the weight of the responsibility tornado. They have awareness that they carry the mental load for their home and family. We understand Motherhood can really suck, but it doesn’t have to be so hard and it's okay to talk about the hard parts. It’s okay, not to be okay. It's okay to seek therapy and medication to help, the stigma needs to end (Up to 80% of women report experiencing postpartum symptoms). Mom’s mental health is the most important thing! She is the root and core of the family. Our clients value motherhood, yet they often feel isolated in motherhood, and question their identity. Many of our moms experience guilt like they’re not doing enough.

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.
