Therapy is what you make of it. It can be a great space for self-discovery and improvement, or to process and work through difficult emotions. Sometimes, we just want to be heard, seen, and understood. As your therapist, my hope is to create a safe therapeutic relationship where you can feel free to be your authentic self. When passion, humor, and creativity are incorporated into sessions, it can truly nourish the therapeutic space and your potential.

Although it is sometimes difficult to make the first contact with a therapist if you can push through that resistance you will find an valuable source for understanding what it is that is preventing you from achieving your goals. Through the relationship; the knowledge the therapist possesses of psychological processes, the bond you will hopefully feel with this person who is your supporter and your ally but who is still able to have a neutral and honest view of your behavior you can grow and progress beyond what you can imagine.

I have had significant success helping clients deal with issues such as relationships, loss, aging, trauma, body image, career development, stress management, depression, anxiety, illness, personal growth and what I call "behavioral decluttering", ( illiminating old and unwanted behaviors). My style as a therapist is to help clients identify those areas of their lives which are most troubling and then develop specific goals to ensure that therapy produces important life changing results. The ultimate goal is for clients to eventually serve as their own therapists, applying what they learned in therapy to lead more fulfilling lives.

Life is complex, and you might experience a gap between what you want and where you are at. If you are feeling stuck, anxious, perhaps experiencing difficulty making important decisions, or feeling that your life is not moving in the direction you want; psychotherapy might be a space for you to evolve in the way you desire by learning about yourself and ways to transition your current circumstances.

Self-awareness is a path to healing, recovery, transformation and personal success. In my clinical work I offer a safe and supportive space, where you can develop self-understanding and new ways of coping that will help you to work through your struggles that otherwise make you feel stuck, frustrated, humiliated and unfulfilled. Awareness implies that one has control over, choice of, and responsibility for one's own feelings, thoughts and actions. In your self-discovery you will find opportunity for change in a natural way.

I strive to create an empathetic, warm, and nonjudgmental environment so that a vulnerable space still feels safe. With an open ear and a curious mind, I offer feedback and ask plenty of questions with the intention of understanding who you are and how you would like to make positive changes in your life. My clients are often struggling with complicated family dynamics and interpersonal relationships. I understand that feeling disconnected can seep into other areas of our life and cause anxiety, stress, and overall feel painful.

In my 30 plus years of clinical experience, I have felt privileged to work with adults of all ages, from many different backgrounds. Each treatment is a collaborative process as my patient and I learn together what is standing in the way of greater peace of mind and further development. I help my patients grow in their own unique ways as they confront issues of depression, anxiety, shame, grief, and early trauma.

I like to tell my clients to think of therapy as a navigation system. You put the destination in the GPS and the GPS guides you in the right direction. Think of me as your guide. My approach to therapy is individualistic. Though clients may be experiencing similar difficulties the approaches utilized must be tailored to fit the client’s needs.

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.
