I take pride in providing a safe, vulnerable and comfortable place to sort through my patients’ history and help them to learn how to walk the path of life that brings them back to joy. I believe healing and growth require a combination of empathy, thought reconstruction, as well as clear and thoughtful goals. My role is to help each client reach their goals and to feel validated while doing so. I am currently only accepting virutal tele-health sessions. I have a variety of available session slots- including weekends. Feel free to reach out to my office to get in touch!

As a young adult you have a lot of worries: sorting out career, relationships, setting up your future. All of that alone can be stress enough, but add depression, anxiety, and the psychological struggles that come with that stress it gets even worse. While your struggles are very real, it can be difficult to get anyone to take them seriously. People your age don't have any more insight than you do about it, and older adults don't remember how frightening these struggles can be. They don't remember feeling like you're behind on the imaginary timeline, or feeling less accomplished than you should be. You aren't alone.

Sometimes one's angst has been there since childhood, and many know they need help, but just need guidance on how to begin. Don't deny yourself the chance to be empowered!

As a new mother, you're likely feeling overwhelmed, like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, and worried you may never feel "normal again". You might feel like you've lost yourself in juggling the needs of everyone else while struggling to care for yourself. After a lifetime of striving for success and always being what people need you to be, you may feel like you're not quite measuring up to your own expectations and the ways you used to cope just aren't working like they used to. You want to feel better and be the mom you want to be free of guilt and shame you've been carrying. I get it! I've been there too

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.
