I aim to provide exceptional psychotherapy services and reach individuals in a unique way. Many times, it can be difficult to put into words what is bothering us or find the root cause of our difficult feelings. Art making in sessions is used as a vessel, and not always necessary during sessions. When words fail us, we can explore art together to see what comes up for you. I am now offering yoga and art therapy sessions to offer a full embodied experience, opening with yoga asana, meditation, art creation and finally process your experience together. Please refer to my website for more information if interested!

With a focus on youth and adolescent populations, I utilize psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches to meet the individual needs of the client. Sessions focus on helping clients process their unique emotions and experiences by promoting emotional intelligence skills (like self-awareness and self-regulation), improving communication skills, addressing trauma, building self-esteem, relieving stress, incorporating positive coping skills, encouraging a sense of autonomy, and offering a safe space of exploration.

Change is a natural part of life. When we realize that change is not something to be feared, we can embrace it through the difficulties and use it to create a life with a more meaningful purpose. The secret of living successfully is learning to handle the unexpected circumstances that life can bring.

You get up early for a quick shower or a hot cup of coffee before the kids wake up and the day gets insane. Or, you peel yourself out of your bed with foggy eyes and force yourself to get ready to start the day. That knot in your stomach just won't go away and you feel like you are running in circles. Things have happened in your life that affected you in ways you can't really understand. Strained relationships with family, a divorce or difficulty adjusting to your new role as a parent. Life doesn't have to be this way!

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.
