Some days you may not want to feel so weighted; your head to not race; your intimate partner to not be that passing ship; or so moved by compulsion. You may just need some safe space to figure it all out. This can be your sorting place. My goal is to help you better identify and understand your symptoms and improve overall coping. You are an individual, not a cookie cutter, so your treatment approach will be unique to your needs, and each person's journey is individual. Through goal setting, we can help you to develop decisions congruent with the life you want. I use CBT, ACT, mindfulness, & Gottman Method (completed Level 1 & 2).

No matter what you do to stop the cycle of falling in love with the wrong people, having emotional or sexual affairs, or creating fantasy relationships in your head, you find yourself right back where you started. You feel like you've lost control and have a constant war going on in your head. You are living a double life and it's eating you alive. You are sick of the stress you're under to constantly hide your phone because you don't want your partner to find out about this second life. As a specialist in healthy sexuality and relationships, I can help you get off your current rollercoaster.

Book with me now by clicking on my website! I specialize in working with emerging adults as they make sense of their early life experiences, heal from past hurts, and establish their adult identity. I have also led groups supporting caregivers of trans and non-binary youth. Throughout my training I gained experience serving youth who experienced early childhood trauma, college students seeking help so they could stay in school, and parents needing support to be the best they could for their children. I am now a professor of psychology, which helps me stay up to date on the most recent research and practices.

You really can have a life of abundance, peace, and joy! Starting therapy can be therapy, as some people are afraid that they won't be able to experience a real connection with their therapist. I can promise you that I am as genuine as it gets! We will work together to achieve whatever goals you want in life while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

I have been in the Mental Health field for almost 20 years specializing in individual, children, families and couples therapy. Often people seek therapy when they feel stuck. Sometimes it takes a unbaised voice to put new persepctive into your thought process. Are you experiencing a change in career, a loss of a relationship, parenting difficulties, social anxiety or low self esteem? Do you overthink situations, feel misunderstood or judged? Have you even said, " I know why, but can't seem to change." Knowledge alone without application of daily skills cannot create lasting change.

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.
