I work with adults, adolescents, couples, families, and children. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches uniquely catered to each client and based on a treatment plan that we develop together. I do not believe that each therapist is automatically the best person for every client that walks through their door, but that the client needs to "click" with the therapist they work with so they have room to do the work they need to do. The possibility for change is powerful and the therapeutic process is often a catalyst and a supportive environment for change.

Sometimes we experience struggles such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, or any variety of issues that life can throw at us. When this happens, it can often be difficult to know what to do or where to turn. This can leave us feeling frustrated, hopeless, and discouraged which is an incredibly frustrating place to find yourself.

Some of us don't know what's wrong, but we know that there must be more to life. I provide a nonjudgemental space for clients to identify their goals, learn about mental health, practice coping skills, and journey toward the happiest and healthiest version of themselves.

Being a teenager is harder than ever. The demands of school, friends, parents, sports, and social media are all vying for attention. In addition to all those responsibilities, adolescents are also going through the necessary and difficult process of figuring out who they are. They are setting the direction for their lives, defining their goals, and developing their identity. This is a daunting task and can bring up a lot of emotions. Parents often see this manifesting itself through anger, depression, anxiety, or high-risk behaviors.

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.
