I partner with individuals to create a positive and supportive environment to help them cope with life transitions, stressors and/or traumatic experiences. Exposure to trauma or distressing events can impact our whole selves including our thoughts, feelings, actions and identity. To help restore peace and promote healing, I use EMDR therapy. By using EMDR and mindfulness techniques, I understand and can help with the range of ways our bodies and minds react to difficult and distressing life events. This approach helps clients gently process their difficult experiences and build up resilience, hope and healing.

Therapy doesn't have to be serious, it doesn't have to be formal, it just has to be about you. This is a chance to talk freely without worrying about other people's feelings or judgement. My job is to be an objective, calming, comfortable and validating presence. I am honored to hold this space for you.

Our mental health is so important. In my experience, I believe in the importance of establishing therapeutic rapport, which promotes trust, non judgement reflection, and professional guidance. I have worked in the behavioral field for many years, focusing in areas of crisis and trauma, in at risk communities.

Adolescence is possibly one of the most difficult times in one's personal development. But with caring support from family and friends, and in conjunction with therapy, adolescents can achieve greater self-confidence and resilience. Positive changes occur when a client and therapist work in concert to find new perspectives that lead to better paths. Through a better understanding of individual struggles and environmental factors, we develop tools for success that enables clients to become the best version of themselves. My practice is a judgment free, calm and quiet environment for clients to manage their concerns and challenges.

Working with older teens & young adults — including college students & young professionals— I help clients navigate concerns such as anxiety, depression, and life adjustments that are causing stress, low self esteem, relationship concerns, stress due to perfectionism, feeling on edge, panic attacks, social isolation, feelings of “imposter syndrome,” & more. Navigating the 20s is a difficult time for many, as this is a time of internal and external changes that occur simultaneously, whether this includes one’s exploration of both personal and professional identity, relationship satisfaction, accommodating to a new city, and more.

As an experienced clinician, I find myself most compatible with individuals who seek to make positive changes in their lives. I support my clients in their efforts to confront their challenges and overcome emotional barriers. I work best with adults who feel burdened with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or relationship issues. I welcome individual clients and couples, who seek to address the conflicts in their relationships. I value the capacity to laugh and learn, and I encourage my clients to embrace these as recovery tools. Additionally, my clients must love, or at least like basset hounds, as they are my receptionists.

The purpose of life is to live a joyous existence. Sometimes easier said than done. But therapy is about empowering people to do just that. Figuring out how to, for example, like yourself better; unapologetically and adeptly be the real you; engage meaningfully and effectively with others; recover from an affair or other breach of trust; navigate divorce and remarriage. What you privately think & feel about yourself; what you think and feel about your relationships, and how skillfully you operate are fundamental to quality of life. I have over 30 years experience assisting individuals and couples achieve their best lives.

With adults I provide a supportive environment to work on practical strategies to improve your life. Our main focus is on your present and future, but if past feelings, behaviors and situations are still getting in your way we explore what happened and work on creating healthier patterns. In working with children and teens I teach skills and strategies, and periodically bring parents into sessions. I have expertise to share, but you are the expert on your child! We'll all work together to build on your child's strengths, increase their confidence and solve problems at home or school.

As clients explore the challenges that have led them to therapy, my goal is to provide a space where they find support without judgement and build a genuine, strong connection, as I recognize the difficulty clients face in managing their symptoms and how hard it can be to find the right support. For those experiencing the isolation of long-standing concerns from childhood or who are managing the current challenges of a loved one or relationship, I meet my clients in whatever state of readiness or need they may find themselves, exploring a range of symptoms related to anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD or mood disruptions.

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.
