Has the world been feeling overwhelming lately? I feel it too, and I don’t know how you wouldn’t be feeling anxious or falling into a depression spiral at times. This means you're human, you’re feeling things and you’re trying your best. I can help you with the extra support you need right now and teach you how to be there for yourself in the midst of huge challenges. My clients often come to me saying that they beat themselves up for feeling bad, adding insult to injury, and they find relief once we are able to shift this process towards more self-love and acceptance.

I love working with couples who are trying hard to make things work and keep experiencing conflict. Using the Gottman method, I help to give specific skills to apply to their relationship and end the gridlock. I also really enjoy teens who are struggling with finding their way. They hold a special place in my heart and I love seeing them grow and feel more confident in who they are.

I sincerely trust in an individual’s ability to heal, even from profound pain and trauma. My practice focuses on intimacy and relationship well-being, as well as a wide range of psychological concerns, including: anxiety, recovery following illness or medical trauma (eg, life threatening diagnosis, or lack of regard by providers), deconstruction of old beliefs, pain with intercourse, sexual dysfunction, and grief. I also make it a sincere priority to be aligned with the LGBTQIA community. My website presents a great deal of information about sexual therapy, simply because it is often omitted from healing..

My treatment approach is eclectic in nature, but I mainly use psychodynamic therapy in my practice. Clients would would benefit from my services if they are ready to examine and develop insight into how past experiences impact their present lives. Clients should expect to be validated and gently challenged in therapy in order to get through the mental blocks that keep them stuck in repeating the same self-destructive patterns.

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.
