I am committed to working with individuals, couples, and families in ways that promote positive changes and ultimately improve relationships. I believe that healthy relationships are desired by everyone and can be achieved. Helping clients become more self-aware and gain new insight into their unique situation can be powerful. Although I primarily use solution-focused therapy and attachment theory, I am flexible and empathic to the specific needs of each client’s journey to healing. I believe that my clients are the heroes of their stories and that they possess the strength needed to overcome any obstacle they face.

Life and relationships present many experiences that impact us and our lives. I believe that through the process of facing difficult, and often painful experiences and issues, learning to soothe our own anxieties and disappointments we can begin to develop a more solid relationship with ourselves and others. When we do this, we are more able and willing to navigate the pains and pleasures that naturally come with life, adult responsibilities and relationships. Allowing ourselves to go through this process often leads to a more fulfilling relationship with ourselves, our loved ones and with life.

Finding one’s strength to create change and trust in the ability to do so can be challenging. Reaching out does not make you weak, rather gives you an opportunity to believe in yourself and recognize your abilities. While it may be difficult to admit to challenges in your life whatever they may be; how you choose to manage them and make the connection with someone you can trust in the process is the beginning of finding the best you. I feel honored to have the opportunity to work with you.

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.
