I have a long history of helping people make changes that lead to significant improvement in self-regard and the ability to function and thrive.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages with a variety of presenting issues including self-esteem and life struggles such as relationship conflicts, grief, loss and transitions such as divorce. I also enjoy helping people with depression, anxiety disorders (including panic disorder, phobias, and PTSD), and ADHD.

Our personal experiences and traumas can often leave a deep imprint on our physical and mental bodies, separating us from ourselves and our environment while impacting our sense of self, safety, and trust. The trauma symptoms can trigger painful memories from the past and take us away from the present moment. The struggle to maintain our daily activities and cope with stress can be overwhelming, impacting all areas of our lives. The practice of being present and aware of our experiences inside and outside of our bodies and in relationships with others can foster the integration of the parts that are separated due to trauma.

One of my greatest joys, is helping individuals, couples and families learn to manage the various, yet often unavoidable, stresses of life. Our days are packed with work, school, family, and relationships. We come home depleted and then it starts all over again the next day. Feelings of anxiety, panic, depression, anger, and/or lack of motivation, are inevitable. So it grieves my heart when clients ask what's wrong with them. So while we may need to "power through" certain situations, I help my clients develop strategies that are tailor made to their circumstances and personality, to successfully complete the marathon of life.

Are you overwhelmed with anxiety, fear of uncertainty, and/or unwanted, intrusive thoughts? Are these experiences holding you back from engaging in meaningful parts of your life? If yes, you are not alone. Unmanaged anxiety and OCD can be incredibly painful and lead to feelings of sadness and shame. But there is hope. By learning how to manage the fears, thoughts, and behaviors that keep you stuck, you can begin to embrace the uncertainty and live a more present and fulfilling life.

I believe that therapy can assist clients with a variety of challenges whether related to a diagnosed mental illness, life transition, relationship, or other. There are many things that can interfere with a feeling of satisfaction or fulfillment in one's life. In my work, I aim to help clients uncover and better navigate these barriers by first understanding their goals and getting to know the whole person. I then utilize evidence-based treatment to assist clients with developing a plan for meeting their personal, professional, and relational needs.

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.
