I am excited to work with clients from all walks of life. I myself have walked quite an interesting life. I've experienced many ups and downs filled with self-growth, loss and healing, and many transitions and challenges along the way Assisting those dealing with Grief and Loss are perhaps one of the areas I am most passionate about and versed in, however, my primary goal is to help all who may seek guidance. I enjoy working with children on the Autism Spectrum, anyone who suffers from depression or anxiety, and anyone who feels hopeless and needs to believe again; including individuals, couples and families.

Things in our world can change very rapidly, leaving us feeling lost and broken. Sometimes things pile up over time and become too heavy to carry. It can be difficult to manage all of this alone but also frightening to ask for help. I have approximately 18 years of experience working with those who struggle with long-term issues and those who have had a sudden life change and are experiencing new and unexpected stressors. I exclusively offer telehealth services to provide flexible scheduling and a feeling of security and safety as you walk your path to healing and change from the comfort of your own environment.

I have worked in various environments over the years including working with children and adults with developmental disabilities, helping women and families in domestic violence shelters, and working with children, teens, and adults adjust to everyday life.
Often people come into my office wondering how and when things will get better, whether it is a parent bringing in their child they are not sure how to help after a traumatic event, or an individual just wondering how they will make it into next week. I believe in working with people through their crisis and into living fuller, healthier lives. This can look like individual sessions or even integration of family systems depending on the needs of each client.

Do you have trouble understanding what you’re feeling, or why you’re feeling it? Maybe you find yourself asking “does that make sense?”, unsure whether your thoughts are coming across how you want them to. Or you tend to be really hard on yourself, with a running narrative of “I’m the worst!”. Perhaps you’re scared to get things wrong, and feel unable to trust yourself to know what you want, let alone how to get there. This might come from being told how you think doesn't make sense, past mistakes, or being told to deny your own perceptions. You want to feel more at ease, confident, and relaxed. If this describes you, I can help!

It’s easy to be consumed by your work and to struggle with balancing work with all the other areas of your life. You often feel spread too thin and like you’re not doing a good enough job in any of the areas in your life. You feel you’re not a “good enough” business owner, partner, mother, daughter, colleague, etc. even though you're trying so hard!

I became a therapist to help others. More importantly, to assist others in learning to help themselves. This is especially true with adolescents, young adults and their families. We can often be both the reasons for and products of poorly functioning family environments. I enjoy getting to know teens, adults and families as we identify their shared goals and needs. My best days come when clients and families laugh more than they cry, love more than they fight and succeed more than they struggle. With better knowledge, skills and communication, we can create more positive environments for yourselves and others

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.
