In my years as a clinician one thing has always remained a constant, and that is difficulty with transitions and change, which life abundantly throws at us. Regardless of the situation, change or transition is often the cause of unsettling feelings that lead one to engage with a therapist. That being said, many people are more comfortable and able to successfully maneuver adjustments in their daily routine, in their family structure, home life, work, relationships, etc. Others however, may struggle with developing or utilizing ways of coping with such change.

Are you feeling disconnected, unhappy, or uncertain about the future of your relationship? Many of my clients grapple with ongoing conflicts, communication issues, and deep-seated resentment, leading them to question whether they should stay or leave. They feel stuck in a cycle of unhappiness and yearn for a relationship that brings joy, peace, and fulfillment without losing their sense of self. They’re seeking clarity, deeper connection, and a way forward that honors both their individuality and their partnership.

My intentions are to help others become empowered and discover their self worth. I am always respectful, genuine, and non-judgemental in my approach. Sometimes you just need to be heard to sort thoughts/life situations out, or you may be ready to start your journey to heal from the past. Perhaps it's time to learn strategies to manage daily stressors, or work on repairing family and/or couple issues. I hope to be able to provide the quality support needed.

Have you been feeling anxious, depressed, isolated, stressed? Do you repeatedly engage in behaviors or relationships that don't help and may be harmful and find you can't stop? Whether these feelings & behaviors have been present for a long time or seemed to develop suddenly, it can be hard to figure out the cause or how to find relief. Sometimes distress is caused by prior trauma or by the coping skills developed early in life that are no longer effective or helpful. Personal growth, relief from emotional pain and discomfort, better relationships, and living a more fulfilled life are all possible.

My strengths as a therapist lie in my ability to help people find their "inner voice". I believe people are experts on their own lives; they just need a safe space to figure out what they want, learn how to trust themselves and the courage to make the changes they need and want in their lives. Change starts with feeling like you have been seen and heard by another person. I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for over 25 years. I have been fortunate to work in a variety of clinical settings that have allowed me the opportunity to support clients of all ages, ethnicities, genders and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Most people contact me overwhelmed by feelings, symptoms or in a life crisis. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) we will explore your thoughts, feelings and behavior and identify those that are not rational, but whose messages control how you feel and behave By learning more rational ways of thinking, you will be in control of the messages you give yourself, not the ones you have been barely conscious of and often come from negative past experiences. Behavior is also explored. Do you repeat the same actions that create problems at work, in relationships? You can change that too, through thinking differently.

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.
