Most days, being a human can be overwhelming enough on its own, but when something traumatic happens, it can feel impossible to know how to begin to heal. Chronic stress or trauma not only affects your emotional well being but your thoughts, nervous system, and relationships as well. If you are feeling numb, defeated, anxious, and struggling to live life to the fullest, I would be honored to walk alongside you through your healing. I love doing this work and am continually in awe of the inner strength people possess to change.

Potential Clients- It’s inevitable at some point something happens and we don't know how to address it more-less fix it. It is vital to have someone who will actually listen and accept us as we are flaws and all, without judgment or pity. My education and background allows me to have a unique approach to counseling. LLPC’s- If you are looking for someone who will help you get fully licensed as quickly as possible then I am your person. Even the most experienced therapists struggle- what’s more important is what you learn from that struggle. You deserve a strong supervisor who has a solid grasp on ethics and our profession.

It takes courage to ask for help during a difficult time. Many of us are used to carrying our challenges alone, or we worry about burdening our loved ones. I want to encourage you that we all need connection and support when facing hard circumstances. Counseling can be a very helpful step in making change or finding healing in your life. For over 15 years I have had the honor of partnering with teens and adults as they work through relationship issues, depression, anxiety, body image concerns, substance abuse issues, grief or trauma.

When seeking out a therapist and scheduling that first session, it may bring about a mix of emotions. It may even be tough to identify how you’re feeling about this process. There may even be a mix of emotions after that first session. But I want you to know that it’s ok to feel whatever it is you may be feeling.

What if teens and young adults could be seen as capable and wise? What would happen if we quieted ourselves just enough to let them teach us how to better understand their unique selves? What would it look like if every person was given a safe space to sort through hardships instead of burying them?

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.
