Parenting is so tough! Children face so many obstacles and sometimes we just don't know how to help them. It can feel like we've tried everything. When children are struggling they often act out behaviorally; or sometimes it shows up as stomach aches or problems sleeping. Allowing your child to come to therapy can give them the opportunity to learn more about themselves, their thoughts, and their feelings. Working with a therapist can also provide you, as the parent, the support that you're looking for. We can all work together to help your child realize how amazing they really are and be more successful in their daily lives.

Whether it is a single event or a life time of struggles, our thoughts and emotions can become so overwhelming that every day tasks are difficult to complete. For some, it is hard to reach out for help but once you have taken the first step which is acknowledging you need help and you cannot do it alone, the journey of emotional healing begins. It is learning to confront life's adversities rather than allowing them to define you. It is a journey of self-discovery, self-awareness, and learning to trust intuition while building inner strength to embrace and love who you are. As your therapist, I will walk that journey with you.

If you are ready to “tackle the tough stuff” in your life, I'll be here to help. I began my career in mental health working with families who were on the cusp of losing everything, including their children. Oftentimes, the members of these families could no longer find positives in their lives. They felt stuck and often did not believe things could change or get better. This soon became my “why” – to help those on the verge of losing all hope rediscover it. The moments I treasure most have been through the accomplishments — big and small — of those I've been honored to be able to serve. Each moment is amazing!

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.
