I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a safe haven for you to explore, discover and heal the authentic you! After a long day of being what the world needs you to be, HERE together is where we unmask and uncover who you truly are -- HERE is where happiness lives. I have a passion for the therapeutic process by deconstructing learned behavior and patterns while bringing blind-spots into awareness so that motivated clients can make conscious changes and show up in the world, life and relationships joyfully engaged as your true self.

How we view ourselves greatly impacts how we feel and interact with the world around us. The most challenging part about this is that we often are not fully aware of how we view ourselves, or how this impacts us, or what to do with the information after we learn this. I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for people to increase self-awareness and build the skills to use this awareness to their advantage. I specialize in anxiety and mood disorders. I aim to assist people in shifting their relationship with stress, anxiety, depression and other unpleasant emotions to move forward with their goals.

If you’re someone who feels like anxiety is taking control of your life—impacting your relationships, work, and overall well-being—you are not alone (I've been there!). Anxiety can manifest in many forms, whether it’s a persistent sense of worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or even physical symptoms like restlessness or difficulty sleeping. For many, anxiety becomes a constant companion of what-if thoughts, making it difficult to enjoy life or feel at ease. The good news about anxiety is that it's treatable- research shows therapy can be just as effective as medication for anxiety symptoms.

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.
