I have worked for several years with individuals, couples, families, children, and adolescents on many different presenting issues. I work collaboratively with people to identify strengths within themselves to address their life challenges. I work with many parents regarding parenting concerns, balancing marriage and kids, and trying to find themselves again after having children. I work with couples to re-start their relationship after many years of unspoken distance. My practice is broad-based; I have experience with a range of issues such as marital strife, blended families, substance abuse, mental illness, depression, grief, anxiety, sexual abuse, and loss.

I specialize in helping women feel confident in their relationships by teaching them how to express their needs, set boundaries, and communicate effectively to reduce feelings of stress, frustration, and guilt.
Do you consider yourself a people pleaser? Is it hard to prioritize yourself without feeling guilty? Do you struggle to say no or tell people how you really feel? Are you trying to heal from emotional wounds from a loved one? Many of my clients say they feel stuck in a difficult relationship with their parent, spouse, or other loved one. They feel the stress, frustration, and resentment building but they "don't like confrontation" so they become exhausted and have little hope that things can change. They suffer from low self-esteem, overwhelm, and indecisiveness.

As a Board-Certified Clinical Neuropsychologist I specialize in conducting evaluations of thinking and memory abilities with adults with a wide variety of medical, neurological, and psychiatric conditions. My specialties include the assessment of individuals with traumatic brain injuries, neurological conditions (i.e., dementia, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease), strokes, and a variety of other medical (i.e., cancer, chronic pain, heart disease), developmental (i.e., ADHD, learning disabilities) and psychological (i.e., depression, anxiety, substance abuse) conditions.

When times feel overwhelming or challenging, you may not feel like you have the energy or strength to navigate challenges or be your true self. Presenting anxiety and/or depression symptoms may make it difficult to function daily. You may want to learn new coping techniques because the ones you know and have implemented are not effective. I apply an integrated approach through person-centered talk-therapy with young adults (18+) and adults who are experiencing life transitions, depression, and/or anxiety symptoms in a space where you can be seen, heard, and understood.

Considering therapy can stir up the question, "Is healing even possible for me?" My answer is, "Yes, it is!" I've found that when issues come to the surface and disrupt our lives, they are ready for healing! Our issues often began as coping mechanisms to deal with difficult life experiences. These “solutions” then take on a life of their own and keep us stuck in negative patterns. I help my clients find where their problems got stuck, release them, and experience healing and freedom. I also believe that experiencing positive emotions (like joy, hope, and laughter) is an integral part of healing, and these are part of my sessions.

Hello! My name is Toni and I've been in social services for 20 years and a practicing therapist for 16 years.

Whether you are processing past pain, navigating new mental health symptoms, or looking ahead to life transitions, I aim to create a safe space to process through difficult and sometimes messy emotions and take practical steps toward whole-person wellness.

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.
