Starting a therapeutic journey can be stressful and scary, especially if this is your first time in counseling. Because of this and the sensitive work we will do together, I will work alongside you to create a safe, trusting relationship that we can then build upon to begin the difficult work of healing and making positive changes. I work with adults who experience unwanted symptoms related to PTSD, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, perinatal struggles, and other mental health disorders to improve overall functioning, communication, boundaries, and self-compassion.

I help older teens and adults reprocess and distance the pains of past hurts and traumas. Clients who engage in therapy with me are tired of big emotions jumbling up their life and are tired of memories stealing their precious moments of time. Clients are able to reprocess painful and traumatic memories and start living life again without the sting of those troubling memories.

Life's journey can often throw us curve balls. Everyone is worthy of love and belonging, however sometimes it is hard to be able to put yourself first and nurture your emotional needs. With the correct level of support, I firmly believe that anyone can achieve better emotional stability, find moments of joy, and learn to live in the present. No one is able to "fix" another's mental health concerns, yet through support, encouragement, education, empathy, and understanding, you can have the knowledge and tools to reach your own personal goals. I have worked in the mental field for 10 years.

You can see your relationship with your significant other declining and you've tried everything. At your worst, you have fights that last for days on end without any sort of resolution. At your best, you seem to just be roommates and lacking any emotional and/or physical intimacy that you once connected on. You know that this relationship should be your priority, but how are you supposed to do that while you're juggling a full-time job, being the leader of your household, and raising up your children? You simply can't think too much about how overwhelmed you are or you find yourself crying and feeling hopeless.

There are times in life when a person can feel overwhelmed, lost, or unsure of where to turn. Whether this is brought on by a difficult experience, life change, or other circumstances, help is available. Experiencing depressive, anxious, or a myriad of other symptoms can feel like more than one person can bear. By utilizing supportive psychotherapy techniques along with cognitive behavioral and person-centered approaches, I aim to make each person feel like an individual with their own set of strengths and skills.

I provide evidence-based treatments within a caring, trusting therapeutic relationship. I enjoy working with children that are considered "complex" including those who have had early developmental trauma and those who have behavioral difficulties that cause significant challenges. Helping parents to become more attuned and connected allows for healing across generations.

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.
