I know life can become difficult at times and it may seem like all hope is lost. You constantly worry, struggle to catch your breath, and have many sleepless nights. Imagine you woke up one morning and determined enough is enough. You ask yourself, what are my options? How do I address this problem? Are there alternatives? We all come to places where we see and experience the challenges of everyday life. No one is exempted. I encourage each person to know that they have the power to direct their own lives and come to that place of fulfillment, self-determination, and healing.

I utilize an all-encompassing approach to therapy that is somatic, and mindfulness informed. I believe that therapy is a collaboration between the client and the therapist. I want to create an environment that is safe, nurturing, that is open and authentic; where the client can be seen with unconditional positive regard and receptiveness. An even better way to look at it is that while working with a client I understand that they are doing the best they can with the tools they have. By having this mindset, it allows for you to express openly your feelings, beliefs and behaviors.

Space available in ongoing ZOOM therapy GROUP! Only accepting previous clients for individual therapy. As a seasoned counseling psychologist, I have found that you "can't heal what you don't feel" and that most emotional difficulties stem from difficult experiences and relationships earlier in life. Helping you understand how your past experiences result in current struggles is a pivotal part of the help I offer. Additionally, I will provide you with tools such as mindfulness, and coping strategies, and emotional awareness exercises. The foundation for our work is a compassionate and nonjudgmental therapeutic partnership.

Are you in a dark place and seeking a sense of healing but unsure what to do? Are you afraid to look in the mirror because you have lost sight of the person staring back at you? At some point we have all been in that dark place, but I want to empower you to finally look in the mirror to see yourself again. I have a love for individuals that have been the strong friend. The ones who have been the caretakers or the people pleasers in their family or friend group. The ones who often feel forgotten about. So much so, you have forgotten about yourself and your identity. Together, we will work to restore the balance.

The demands of career, relationships, and family can leave women feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or disconnected.
As a licensed psychotherapist, I wholeheartedly encourage women over 30 to actively consider seeking spiritual counseling. While it is important to acknowledge that each individual's journey is unique. In a world often marked by uncertainty and adversity, spiritual counseling equips women with valuable tools to build resilience and self-empowerment. By tapping into their spiritual resources, women can develop coping strategies, enhance their problem-solving skills, and foster a sense of inner strength. This enables them to overcome obstacles, embrace change, and lead fulfilling lives.

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.
