I primarily work with children and adolescents, but I'm open to clients of all ages. I have worked with clients on a variety of challenges - grief, bullying, post-traumatic stress, low self-worth, substance abuse, self-harm, adjusting to adoption, identity development, religious hurt, and more. I am currently contracted with Lukas Counseling Co. (formerly called Opulent VIP, LLC), which enables me to take a broad range of insurance and to schedule sessions in your community, at your home, or virtually. During in-person sessions, I follow all CDC guidelines, and I have also been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

*Does it feel impossible to get past the self-criticism and negative tape playing in your head? *Does the saying "you have to love yourself before you can love anyone else" leave you feeling frustrated or confused? *Do you wonder "how can I love myself when I know who I've been and the things I've done"? The bottom line:
WE START TO BELIEVE THAT WE ARE NEVER GOOD ENOUGH.
This belief impacts the way we see ourselves and the way we see others. Ultimately, it can wreak havoc on our lives and relationships!

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.
