Currently accepting new clients! Perhaps you’re here to get unstuck. You’re dismayed by the way your problems feel repetitive and difficult to break away from. You spin your wheels in frustration, or are stifled under the weight of a nagging depression. Even in some of your closest relationships, you feel disconnection. You might attempt to numb the pain with substances, TV binges, or endless scrolling, and your attempts to change seem to fade away or just not work. The result is that you often feel hopeless.

Hello! Thank you for considering me as your psychologist. I am taking new patients for both therapy and psychological evaluations.

I believe it is important to treat the whole person and not just the diagnosis, so we will also explore factors related to overall well-being.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with almost 30 years experience. My work is collaborative, strength based and often playful. I have an extensive background in working with family systems through the lens of attachment theory. Over the past several years I have shifted from family to individual work with adults, utilizing a model of psychotherapy called Internal Family Systems. I find this model an empowering and dynamic way of helping individuals get to know parts of themselves, thus taking charge of their own healing.

Too often we are expected to travel through life's journey without acknowledging the incredible demands of self-exploration, healing, and discovery. Our world has taught us to believe that if we cannot see hurt, aches, pain, or trauma, then it must not be there. I invite you to challenge this belief and acknowledge that mental health is health, too. Traumas are more often than not invisible, only to be seen when someone is struggling on the outside. It is imperative to pay attention to the obstacles we cannot see.

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.
