I am a LCSW-R who works with individuals, couples and families to promote more peaceful and fulfilling relationships. I work primarily from a family systems perspective which looks at how family relationships inform the way we view ourselves and relate to others. Reconnecting with each other and learning to communicate more effectively is an integral part of therapy. I am especially passionate about working with couples, utilizing my training in RLT (see relationallife.com for further info), which effectively resolves issues and helps couples rebuild their relationships to be more connected, loving and joy filled.

I work best with motivated individuals who will work with me and be courageous enough to be honest about their thoughts, feelings, and fears. My clients are expected to do assignments, readings, and offer feedback. I thoroughly enjoy seeing the progress that a child or an adult can make through self discovery that counseling offers. Ultimately we are the masters of our own lives, and it is by allowing the individual to unlock his or her own capabilities and potential, that the therapist is truly a success.

Life happens! And when it does, we can feel an endless range of emotions. Anxiety, depression, sadness, anger, happiness and the list goes on. While all of these feelings are normal and healthy, it can be overwhelming to experience them. That’s where I come in!

Do you seek "happiness", but feel that happiness itself is not enough? Often, “happiness” is the stated goal. Joy, grace, and peace can carry us more securely through "unhappy” (even traumatic) seasons. Do you feel alone? Are you looking for help with creating boundaries, focusing on what is within your control, responding as opposed to reacting, being content as opposed to complacent, or affording grace- for yourself or others? Do you feel like you "get in your own way"? You are not alone. I encourage my clients to create their own weekly goals - in line with their initial stated goals. I will help you celebrate each step.

I whole-heartedly believe in the concept of “Feel then Heal.” Together, we can explore what is going on that is preventing you from living the life you want to live and cultivate solutions that realistically fit your life. I take a strength-based approach to counseling and believe you already possess the answers you need to become the best version of yourself, and that it is simply my job to help you find them. We can explore the thought patterns that may be preventing you from being able to move towards your goals and actively begin thinking about situations in a more positive way.

Life is constantly throwing change at us and we must learn to navigate and adjust. With your insight and willingness to be vulnerable you can gain awareness of what may be distorted thinking, their underlying causes and work through the challenges of changing what no longer serves you. Therapy can also help to empower you by helping to recognize what choices are in front of oneself. I have over 10 years of experience working with individuals to learn how to better manage anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship issues as well as perinatal obstacles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a form of therapy whose tenet is that our thoughts cause both our feelings and our behaviors. This is an important concept because we can change the way we think so as to feel and act better, even when our external situations do not 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.
