I understand that the decision to schedule a counseling appointment can be anxiety inducing in and of itself, so I make it my personal goal to provide an environment for every client that is safe, supportive, and conducive to the healing process. I am no stranger to trauma, anxiety, stress, seasons of loss and confusions, and fear. However, I am also an overcomer and it is my desire as a counselor to walk along side you, as you overcome the issues you are currently facing. I hope to see you soon!

Many of us are not raised in our family of origin. Are you a parent who surrendered a child for adoption? Were you adopted? Perhaps you were raised in a home of a different cultural background. As you are maturing, do you desire more control over your life, your anxieties, your actions and your choices? I am here to provide you with a safe, warm, soothing sanctuary where you can explore your grief and loss around the past. You can gain the authenticity you are seeking.

Are you exhausted, overwhelmed, and experiencing compassion fatigue, making it challenging to be an effective parent and partner? Is your child struggling to adapt after changing foster placements or being adopted? Do you feel like no one in the entire world understands what you are going through? Now more than ever, children and adults who have experienced trauma are feeling anxious about their ability to heal and move forward. Unfortunately, the complex emotions associated with trauma do not go away when we ignore them. Facing them in therapy seems difficult, but you are resilient and can overcome this challenge!

I love working with clients (2-18) who have ADHD, Autism, Sensory Processing Disorders, and other forms of neurodivergence. I use play therapy to connect with them and help them learn about their brains, their emotions, and new, more comfortable ways of expressing themselves and meeting their needs. I also enjoy connecting with parents who feel alone in the unique challenges that come with parenting these children. It can be hard to feel like the challenges are respected and the positives appreciated.

Much of my clinical experience involves working with women's stage of life issues, such as divorce, empty nest syndrome, and self-esteem concerns.
The innovations of our modern world bring new forms of stress while intensifying those which already exist. Hours of the day are spent in grueling stop and go traffic, and to advance one's education or career often requires uprooting from what is known and setting up in a completely new place. People are working more hours than ever before, while cost of living, overpopulation, and globalization heighten the stress of just trying to get by. With change comes the pain of adapting to the way the world is now, often so different from just a few short years ago.

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.
