I utilize a humanistic, collaborative and solution focused counseling approach with clients, involving actively listening to their life narrative, and exploring how it may be preventing them from reaching desired goals. In sessions, with a questioning and curious mind, we explore and dialogue on how the client may perceive things differently in their therapeutic process. Throughout, I provide support, empowering them to take responsibility in making healthy adjustments in their life. It is through the client learning the importance of self-respect, self-compassion,confidence, and humor, that they find themselves living a more wholesome, healthy, and transformed life.

I believe that the most crucial aspect of therapy is the relationship between the client and the therapist. The therapeutic relationship is part of what helps facilitate change. I help my clients make shifts in their relationships–the relationships they have with themselves, each other, and with their problems. I understand therapy to be a place not to run away from one's problems, but to turn toward them, a place to find ways to connect and to move toward health and wholeness.

Everyone faces challenges along the journey of life. My job is to help you navigate those challenges. It is not easy to ask for help and I believe it is courageous to "feel the fear and do it anyway" rather than to suffer silently. My style is collaborative and conversational with practical, effective tools to empower you to grow and heal through whatever challenge prompts you into either individual or couples counseling. Common themes may be codependency, relationship struggles, divorce and rebuilding your life, a need for self-care and spiritual connection, and/or a desire to speak your truth and live a more authentic life.

Taking this initial step to find a therapist that you feel will be a good match for you can sometimes feel a bit scary and overwhelming. I remember how "outside of my comfort zone" I felt when I first started this healing journey myself. I would love to help you feel less overwhelmed and like you are giving stress, anxiety, and emotional pain less of your energy. My passion is to help you learn how to feel confident in your own skin, and create a meaningful life that makes you excited to wake up in the morning. It is not as out of reach as you may feel it is right now. Baby steps in the right direction is still progress!

Perhaps the most difficult and courageous decision one must make in life is to ask for help during troubling times. I practice holistic reality-based therapy, teaching clients to become agents of their own change. I will assist in identifying goals, as well as barriers, and together we will collaborate to devise and implement a set of life skills and tools that will ultimately become the backbone of positive change for an individual or family. I believe that the client-therapist relationship is the single most important factor in successful therapy outcomes.

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.
