We Old Soul Women are here to change the world, but we can’t do it when we are hopeless and unsupported.
If you are a high-achieving woman of depth who repeatedly hits it out of the park, who is tireless in the pursuit of excellence, who leans over backward to make sure everyone around you has what they need, and makes continuous effort at work, in relationship and as a parent, but feels exhausted and depleted by it all these days, it may be time for a chat with someone who can mentor you back to yourself! For many of us who are DRIVEN to serve, to uplift and to nurture others, we may not realize until too late the impact on our presence, passion and power. If you're finally ready to get your mojo back, give me a call.

It's okay to not be okay all the time. Many people struggle with their mental health in silence out of fear of what will happen if they do say something. You are not alone. As humans we have the right to experience every emotion. We can not always control our emotions but what we can control is our reactions to our emotions.

My goal through therapy is to empower and motivate the client to make positive changes towards their goals. While the initial focus of therapy is on symptom relief; the ultimate goal is a deeper understanding of who you are and why you do the things you do. I believe the basis of any good therapy experience lies in the quality of the relationship between the therapist and the client. Once that is established, good work can be done. My approach is very Solution-Focused involving Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, & Mindfulness.

Therapy is a deeply personal, multifaceted journey. The process can leave one feeling emotional and vulnerable, but it will also be healing, enlightening and enriching. Healing is at the heart of my practice - what you will experience with me is empathy, non-judgmental compassion, and authenticity. Together we will gently explore what may be causing you pain. I aim to make therapy a rewarding process with lasting effects by helping you learn to lead yourself in the present; making conscious choices over automatic default patterns of thinking or behavior that once seemed impossible to change.

What's holding you back? Life can be busy and especially difficult when past experiences intrude on your present. I specialize in helping those who have faced challenging life events, supporting them in restoring hope, strength, & resilience. As a mom of two & the spouse of a former first responder, I understand firsthand how unpredictable life can be. Utilizing EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) & body-based practices, I help you gain a sense of safety and control. My clients often say I’m “not your typical therapist” because I believe our bodies are capable of healing & sometimes need more than just talking.

Wellness is a matter of balance. Anyone who struggles with addiction, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or ANY experience of overwhelming emotion, can relate to a sense of imbalance. Often times we develop strategies to tip the scale. Unfortunately, we may find strategies that become part of a cycle of avoidance. I can help you break this cycle by creating strategies that promote balance, rather than a constant see-saw.

I have been licensed/practice for thirty-two years and I have learned much about human nature. The most important lesson, 'everyone is an individual and unique'. I, therefore, frame my sessions to 'fit' my patient's individual personalities. For the most part, I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is the only orientation clinically proven to help patients. It allows patients to reflect and partake in the therapy sessions. This orientation allows the patient more control over their own wellbeing. When working with teens I practice Solution Focused sessions. Solution Focused is a CBT geared towards younger patients.

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.
