Carl Jung said, "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." My clients usually come to therapy reporting concerns with depression, anxiety, troublesome relationships, or grieving a recent loss. Our work often includes a review of life history — including the influences of family of origin, identity, culture, religion and place — as well as your current life circumstances. You and I will work together to create a safe setting and use those presenting symptoms as stepping stones for you to achieve a more authentically lived and fulfilling life.

If you are feeling out of sorts, stressed, or know you are living with a traumatized nervous system, there are ways to re-set, get grounded, and recover the parts of yourself that are stuck in past moments. Those “stuck parts” are keeping you from being fully present, happy and joyful in your life.

My focus is to provide quality psychotherapy and healthy lifestyle counseling for motivated individuals who desire to improve the quality of their life. My therapeutic approach is holistic in nature stemming from the biopsychosocial model. This model emphasizes the interconnectedness between our physical body, psychological and environmental factors and how these factors interact and affect us as a whole person. I have over 15 years of experience in behavioral health. I obtained my Master’s degree in Clinical Health Psychology from Northern Arizona University.

Talking about problems can be difficult, not to mention taking action to solve them. The change process unfolds when you are listened to and understood. With warmth, humor, interest, and respect, I will help you focus on action steps as well as just talking as you make and maintain contact with your goals and also with your hopes and dreams. To do so I will also help you examine any life patterns, active in the present or originating from the past, that contribute to feeling stuck. Assisting you to bring mindfulness, commitment, and self-compassion into the change process will be my role.

Achieving your life goals can be challenging, especially when you're dealing with difficult emotions or feeling overwhelmed. The therapeutic approach is designed to help you explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviors in a confidential and supportive environment. Life is full of windy roads and we all need extra support at times. Perhaps what worked well before doesn’t anymore. Think of it as building muscle; sometimes we have to exercise a muscle in a different way to achieve results. And though change can be scary, let's work together to learn the tools you need to feel better about yourself today.

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.
