It can be daunting to find a therapist who speaks your language and is the right match for you. My professional experience and therapeutic approach has developed over more than 35 years of private practice. You will find my approach warm, straightforward, conversational, and focused. I offer a blend of psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy, which means I respect the value of understanding past influences and patterns while believing that by developing specific new skills you can successfully change unhealthy behavior and thinking.

Have you noticed it seems more difficult coping with social situations, being organized, or even navigating the return to the office? I am here to help! Since COVID shutdowns, many of us have been struggling with this idea of the new world and new society.

You’re so tired. And you’re tired of saying you’re tired. Especially after these exhausting COVID years. It’s so hard to turn your mind off from your worries and your endless to-do list. You’re overwhelmed, wondering when things will get easier. You provide so much care to others, but you get lost in the shuffle. Your temper flares easily. So much has changed in your life, and you wonder if you will feel like yourself again. Care work is incredibly hard and often invisible, and caring for yourself in the midst of that is even harder.

Are you tired of the cascading “I should be’s” or “I’m not enough’s?” Maybe you're not connecting in your relationships the way you want to be. A part of you wants to change but you don't know how or where to start. Luckily, we were never designed to go through it alone. I frequently work with adults and college students ages 18+ who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, perfectionism, and distress related to family and life transitions. I work with adults of all genders, sexualities, and socioeconomic, racial, and cultural backgrounds via virtual, office, and walk and talk sessions.

*MOBILE THERAPY SERVICE* When traditional 'mental health' services are not meeting your needs-CALL. This could be a result from a medical condition, limitations to transportation, or many other reasons that pose a barrier to meeting your emotional support needs in an office. Mobile Therapy is a way to have the service come to you and allow you the ability to mold the service in a way that would be most convenient for you. I view the therapeutic process as a journey, to achieve goals, improve your life for the better and feel that therapy should be catered to your needs.

As an Advanced Certified Core Energetics Practitioner, I work with clients who are looking for a better way of being and living. We often have challenges with depression, anxiety, shame, fear, and traumas, and some of us look for something more out of life, asking, "Is this all there is?" Talk therapy can be valuable in gaining a cognitive understanding of WHY you feel as you do, and it can provide some relief. But how much does it change your lived experience? Core Energetics involves work processing thoughts, feelings, and emotions through your body in a way that releases "stuckness" and energy for purposes that you direct.

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.
