Coping with life’s challenges is not always easy and finding a therapist is often a huge step. Therapy can help us to better understand ourselves and develop the tools required for living our fullest and most authentic life. I focus on helping women and the LGBTQ+ community with challenges such as: trauma, depression, anxiety and life transitions. I am especially skilled in helping young adults (18-35 years) navigate the challenges that come along with this phase of life. If you're feeling stuck and unsure of what direction to go in, I'm here to support you in finding a path.

Therapy can be a powerful part of the healing process. I feel honored to witness that process when working with individuals seeking help to deal with difficult life circumstances. I strive to create an environment where a person can feel safe and comfortable discussing their struggles. My approach is collaborative and seeks to draw out an individual's strengths allowing them to better address their concerns and feel more at ease in their everyday life.

I work with women and couples who want to communicate better, build healthier habits or routines, have stronger emotional connections, and become more assertive.
Committing to change is hard, but continuing to live unsatisfied is harder. How many times have you set your alarm earlier than normal, thinking “Tomorrow’s the day I get it together,” only to hit snooze and end up rushing out the door anyway? How many times have you had the same fight with your partner, or if you’re single, dated the same kind of person you always do? How much longer will you settle for a life you’re not really happy with? It’s one thing to know what you want to change—it’s another to know how to change it. Together, we’ll explore ways you can feel more confident, in control, & closer to the people you care about.

My life work is to bring to you the possibility of being able to live a full life, in work and relationships. In my 30 years of practice, I have worked with people in private practice, inpatient and partial hospital settings, and schools. My typical client is someone who is working to meet the challenges of transition, such as going to college, getting married, divorced, changing careers, losing employment, dealing with the death of a loved one, or experiencing very difficult unpredictable events. I see continuing education as being extremely valuable. I am continuously deepening my learning through additional training and reading.

We are all much more simply human than otherwise (Harry Stack Sullivan). I believe that one finds mental health in meaningful, connected relationships with others-our parents, partners, children, friends, siblings, and therapists. I bring warmth, humor, and honesty into my therapeutic work, and act as a support and guide as you work to improve areas of your life that you are inspired to change. I focus on growth and reparation, not pathology. I have a broad range of experience with all ages and ranges of problems, and can offer comprehensive treatment to children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and groups.

My work can most closely be described as a reprogramming of the psyche. We are all operating unconsciously through frameworks of understanding ourselves and the world given to us from experiences in our life. Maladaptive behaviors and thought processes usually developed as ways to cope with difficult or confusing events. I can help you to see and transcend ego defenses which are no longer in alignment with your highest self. I offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) as well as traditional talk therapy.

As a Trauma-Informed Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I utilize AEDP, IFS, and EMDR-informed therapy to help individuals, couples, and families remove blocks to their power, authenticity, healing, potential, vitality, and relational richness. Sometimes, people know why they are stuck, but it doesn’t seem to move the needle. This is where an experiential process differs from merely understanding something intellectually. I believe that true healing requires more than just insight; it requires a deep, embodied experience of change.

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.
