Our work together is a collaboration to reach goals that are in alignment with what brings you peace and joy. I emphasize respect, kindness, and authenticity in order to highlight the balance I believe is needed in developing meaningful relationships. One of my great curiosities in therapy is to learn what those terms mean to my clients and how their presence has shaped who they are.

Taking new clients! I love helping clients who are experiencing low self-esteem, low self-confidence, imposter syndrome, grief, anxiety, loneliness, and depression.

Choosing to come to therapy can be an intimidating experience...one that involves you shining a light on feelings of vulnerability or discomfort. But it's also a brave step that reminds you that you can be in control of how you respond to difficult situations, as well as empowers you to find your voice. If you are struggling with your mental health, feeling overwhelmed, or just need someone to support you in this season of your life, I am here to make sure you feel seen and heard. Along the way I will provide you with concrete skills, challenge you to see another perspective, and celebrate your successes.

Do discussions with your partner often lead to yelling or angry silence? Do you find yourselves arguing about the same issues year after year with no resolution? Learn to restore harmony in your home with communication skills that create guardrails for safety (I sometime call them training wheels or bumper pads). When couples feel like they’re walking on eggshells, life feels exhausting. When the best of intentions devolve into disappointment, misunderstanding, and hurt feelings, it might seem like there is no way back to the romantic bond you once enjoyed. It can be done, and together we will plot that course!

Trauma leaves us feeling damaged, broken, and disconnected from ourselves and others. You might be tired of feeling triggered by small things in your life, lonely and isolated as others in your life don’t understand you, or you might feel guilty or ashamed of what has happened to you. It has been so long since you have felt like yourself. You’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to be free from the past haunting you. You’re ready to have deep meaningful relationships with others. Most of all, you’re ready to feel confident and trust yourself. I can help you get there.

Waitlist for new clients
I am passionate about helping others navigate challenges in their relationships. Specifically, my work focuses on ruptures in trust (often relating to infidelity, pornography, finances, etc.), and in working with adults and their parents as they grow to better understand one another. I believe that our relationships are the most powerful and influential part of our lives, and that they have a profound impact on our wellbeing. My goal as a therapist is to ensure you have an open, accepting, and supportive setting to process the past and work to create thriving relationships in the future.

My approach to therapy incorporates a Christian worldview with a cognitive behavioral theoretical orientation (exploring one’s thoughts and beliefs). I view counseling as a collaborative effort to help clients recognize strengths, identify needs, understand conflicts, discover new options, set personal development goals, and make informed choices.

Therapy is a collaborative process where I try to help clients find what isn't working in their lives and help them "try on" different ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Therapy can at times be a "trial and error" where I provide coping skills for my clients and see if what I provided is useful. Although I make it a point to use evidence-based practices, I also take into consideration the context of my client's life and the current world climate when exploring issues and what would be most effective in their path for change.

For the past 25 years, I have worked with individuals with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), sleep difficulties, troubled relationships, marital distress, chronic illness, and life transitions. My practice currently focuses on working with clients who have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders. I also see patients with cancer across the cancer continuum, from diagnosis, treatment, to survivorship or recurrence and end of life. I am passionate about working with both of these patient groups.

Welcome! Being a parent can be difficult but also a joyful and memorable experience. I provide a safe, nurturing space for children 3-12 to develop skills for identifying, expressing, and managing big emotions. I believe that healing for children comes through the playful interaction as they process their feelings and experiences. Collaboration between children and parents is critical part of my approach as a provider. Often, a combination of family therapy sessions with and without child is recommended, to provide space for parents to learn and practice skills and strategies to use with their young child.

**Waitlist** Living authentically can be scary, rather intimidating. With support of a therapist, individuals can learn to accept, even embrace, the vulnerability that the process towards authenticity requires. Within a supportive therapeutic relationship, clients can explore personal beliefs and develop their identity. Many individuals struggle with processing life events but it doesn't have to be done alone or involve constant suffering. Life events can be difficult, even "positive" ones such as the birth of a child; postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety are real and it doesn't have to ruin your experience as a parent!

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.
