As a faith based, evidence based, and clinical counselor, I believe therapy is a collaborative journey between the client and therapist. Every individual is composed of mind, body and spirit. If one is out of balance so are the other two. My objective is to provide help on the path to wholeness and tranquility. My first goal in counseling is to create a safe space for clients to express feelings and challenges encountered. As ordained clergy, I believe it is important for clergy to have a forum to express their challenges and thoughts without repercussion or concern about perceptions from congregations in which they serve.

There are many modalities for many people because we are all different. Each person & situation has a uniqueness and needs to be treated respectfully as such. I approach counseling, by way of collaboration, between the therapist (myself) & you (the client) in a safe space. It is you that is giving me permission to be on this journey with you.

My clients are people who have put a lot of effort into trying to figure out their lives both personally and professionally. They are told often that they are interesting, fun, and brave but can’t seem to fit those or any other self-affirming words into their vocabulary when speaking about themselves. They worry about things that haven’t even happened yet. They spend a lot of time wondering if they should’ve said or done a thing differently. They struggle to turn off the wheel of negative self-talk in their heads and they are exhausted by trying not to let any of it show. These people are also brilliant and special and curious.

All to often individual’s, couples and families view therapy as a one and done, one-sided conversation where all their problems can be solved quickly. Life is hard enough and when you add depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, grief, eating disorders, addiction or other life controlling issues to your daily life the day ahead often seems impossible. The key is finding your voice and learning how to use it to achieve your dreams, goals, hopes and desires so you can live your best life, the life you have always wanted. Discovering want it means to be real and authentic makes the process of staying stuck where you are more difficult.

Client's are always "moving towards" their goals - symptom relief, boundaries, coping, etc. "Change" doesn't have to have a dramatic flair or be immediately noticeable, it just has to be present in a way that makes sense to the person seeking therapy. My goal as a therapist is to help a person figure out what they're moving towards and provide support in reaching that goal.

I believe in the power of a collaborative therapeutic relationship where both the therapist and client work together towards healing. This involves creating a supportive and trusting environment, where clients feel empowered to take an active role in their own therapy journey. I also believe in the importance of a holistic approach to therapy, addressing not just the mental and emotional aspects but also considering physical, social, spiritual and cultural factors that may impact one's well-being. I synergistically blend my clinical skills and training with humor, play, and creativity to create an environment that is a safe space.

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.
