Man, woman, transgender, white, black, green, blended, straight, gay, merry, sad, furry.
Life can throw us off balance because of relationship issues, the need to set boundaries, depression, anxiety or just because life is… Life. I can help you find your inner voice - your source of self-reliance, self-assurance and self-empowerment. Sometimes knowing that you are not alone and have someone to help you stand when times get rough can make all the difference.

I am a second-generation Christian family therapist who has been in practice since 1987, married for 40 years, 2 adult twin daughters, and now 2 sons (both daughters married), with 4 grandchildren. My overall philosophy is to assist clients in bringing balance to their lives by examining the emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of their lives. It is important to see the individual as a part of a system, as what may work for one person may not work for another due to current family dynamics and unresolved issues from their past.

I would be honored to help you navigate current challenges in your life as well as past painful experiences. Current challenges might include life transitions, problem solving a difficult situation, or exploring new coping strategies. But sometimes, it is past painful memories that cause trouble in our lives. When difficult or traumatic experiences are left unaddressed our physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational health can be negatively affected. The extraordinarily good and hopeful news is that within each person is the ability for self-leadership and healing. Therapy just helps guide the journey.

Your alarm clock is going off, and that sense of dread sits in the pit of your stomach. You slept but you don’t feel rested. Brushing your teeth and getting dressed leaves you drained. The idea of “peopling” makes you want to curl in a ball. You have thoughts popping into your head that you aren’t “good enough,” are “an imposter,” or “a failure.” Everyday tasks can feel overwhelming, and you can be your own worst critic when struggling with life transitions, trauma, anxiety or depression. Asking for help can be daunting, as we are often taught to face those internal battles quietly and alone.

Hi! I am glad you are here. It takes courage to make the first step whether you are searching for yourself, your marriage, a child, or a loved one. At times we find ourselves in the middle of a life altering transition, struggling with our mental health, and in need of extra support. Asking for help can feel difficult, but getting better does not need to be! Do any of these resonate with you: lack of self love, healing from toxic relationships, wanting to truly know yourself, feel like something is missing in your life, or just anxious and unhappy? If those struggles feel familiar, please reach out to see if we would be a good fit!

As an experienced therapist for young adults and women, I believe that we are under an unbelievable amount of pressure.
You want to feel authentic and empowered, but you are struggling to calm insecurities and negative self-talk. You may be fed up with the constant overthinking, imposter syndrome, or that you just can’t let things go. You might even be jealous of those who seem to have it all. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to understand why this is happening. You are ready to feel confident and assertive in your life. Most of all, you’re ready to feel unbothered and happy with yourself.

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.
