I'm a clinical/health psychologist, inter-faith minister and hypnotherapist with over 30 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, children, teenagers, couples, geriatrics, family, special needs, cultural issues, food, weight issues, viruses, autoimmune diseases & nutritional needs. Anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, cultural stress, career counseling, parenting, men’s issues are just a few of the specialties I work with. Most of us go through life with uncontrolled thoughts allowing our minds to dictate perceptions and meaning to situations we encounter, often in unproductive and/or distressful ways.

While many may associate relationships with harm and debilitating pain, relationships can also serve as an avenue for healing and restoration of the soul. I aspire to serve as an agent of change for those seeking to reconnect with their authentic self, faith/core beliefs, and primary relationships by addressing persisting challenges that may have been overshadowed by symptoms of these root issues. I wholeheartedly believe that you are the starting point for change in your own life.

All of us reach points in our lives when we feel overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck. It is easy sometimes to feel discouraged and alone. In those moments, we may lose our ability to feel joy, to see our strengths, to feel connection, and live to our full potential. This is when counseling can provide the safety and support we all need to confront our personal challenges and rediscover the beauty and resilience of our own hearts.

Navigating seasons of hardship or change can feel overwhelming, but these moments where we feel the most uncomfortable give us the opportunity to grow. The progress you're craving and the feelings you're struggling with do have a purpose. Discomfort is our cue that something needs to change. Committing to therapy will not only teach you how to persevere, it will help you better understand the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that may be holding you back.

Some individuals and families need help handling scary situations. Psychological trauma is frequently misunderstood and can cause shame, guilt, and fear. I offer a space free of judgement in which to better understand behavior, trauma, family dynamics, attachment, pregnancy, birth, new parenthood, and sexuality. These issues effect family and relational functioning and can result in high-conflict family dynamics. If you have lost your sense of self or sense of family, I am here to help you chart a path back to yourself and each other.

Did you know one of the most frequently discussed topics in a therapy session is relationships? We are wired to connect. Love and acceptance are needs we strive to experience. But we may lack the ability to communicate our priorities and values and to engage and regulate ourselves during intense conversations. This often leads to stagnation, limited opportunities, and a lack of meaningful connection. Therapy with me can bring clarity through identifying your strengths and developing additional skills to bolster your ability to tap into your greatness.

Life can feel overwhelming and confusing when we are met with expectations that do not align with authentic self. I believe positive and effective change can happen once we become more confident and empowered within ourselves. I work with individuals to feel confident to make effective change within their life in order meet their personal and therapeutic goals. I primarily work individuals with disrupted attachments related to childhood trauma, and sexual trauma; in addition to depression, anxiety, OCD (specifically, Relationship-OCD, Contamination-OCD, Perfectionism-OCD), and personality disorders.

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.
