I view therapy as a collaborative effort. We will work as a team to make positive changes, build skills, improve self-awareness, and improve your overall quality of life. During our first few sessions we will focus on building trust, your story, and identifying a treatment goal. Based on that goal we will establish a plan for treatment that is tailored to your specific needs. Creating structure through goal setting and consistency is important to the therapy process. However, I still aim to provide a relaxed approach that meets you where you're at.

The importance of relationships within our daily lives is often overlooked or forgotten when we struggle. Focusing on relationships, I use personal interaction to promote healing inside and outside of the therapeutic setting. Through the use of video conferencing, I work with individuals and couples who struggle in areas such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief, as well as family and couples relational dynamics. My treatment style integrates compassion, support, and humor to build resiliency through self-regulation, encourage growth, and promote self-discovery.

Asking for help is hard. It’s so natural for us as humans to suffer in silence, to hide ourselves because of the shame that we feel about saying, “Hey, I’m struggling.” My goal is to help you have the hard conversations. To listen to how you’re feeling, and to help you get what you need. You don’t have to do it alone. I aim to offer support to anyone who is struggling with their mental health by practicing a person-centered approach and utilizing my experience with a variety of approaches, including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, positive psychology, mindfulness and coping skills development.

Are you looking to break generational trauma cycles? Escape negative thought patterns and cope with stress or anxiety? Women who have worked with me report that they are able to think more clearly, "zoom out" on their lives to see things from a new perspective, and make decisions that are aligned with their values. They are able to respond rather than react to stressors. They feel they are becoming their own definition of their “best selves”. I help women break the cycles that they have felt stuck in.

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.
