We all have the same basic needs; to love, to be loved, and to feel that we have worth. When these needs go unfulfilled, we get anxious and depressed and our relationships suffer. I believe the purpose of therapy is to reduce those symptoms by addressing their root causes. Your expectations of love and yourself were formed by your prior relationships. Let's make sure that those expectations are healthy and realistic. Let's figure out how your past has influenced your present, for good and for bad, and find the tools to be your best and strongest self in the future.

When emotions stir within, causing anxiety, depression, or distress in relationships, life can feel overwhelming. I view these shifts as gifts, like an indicator light your higher Self is yearning for a personal growth spurt. These feelings can be an opportunity to free yourself from the experiences that hold you back from living your best life. My ideal client is ready to explore their internal world to make the changes needed to create a positive transformation. I am a body-based trauma-informed therapist with a master’s degree in dance/movement therapy. I use the creative process and visualization as a tool for exploration.

Trauma isn’t what happens to us. It’s what happens inside of us. If I have learned anything from my own pain, my clients' pain, and the failures of our current system of mental health treatment, it’s that we are constantly misunderstanding the role of traumatic experience. Together we will find a therapeutic approach that works for you and your unique experience. In order to create lasting change in our lives, we need more from therapy than a verbal exchange. Over the last ten years, I have studied and employed a variety of experiential methods to address the root causes of trauma and help individuals invite lasting personal growth.

Seeking help is an act of bravery, so kudos to you for coming to this site looking for it. It signifies strength and resilience. People say “life is hard” all the time, and they’re not wrong. The challenges in today’s post Covid and politically tumultuous world are, in some ways, more difficult than they’ve been in a long time. For the individual who has trauma activations, anxiety, grief, or lives an alternative lifestyle, even acts of daily living can be overwhelming. Obviously, we can only do so much to change adverse circumstances beyond our control; the events of a tumultuous past, and/or a challenging present. However...

Entering into therapy, whether it be for yourself or your child, is a process in uncovering the self and true identity. Grief, loss, trauma, various life transitions and challenges can shake our sense of self. The creative process is intrinsically healing and offers a safe space to sort through various emotions, and reorganize your brain & thoughts. Children and teens need creative space and play outside of their structured days. Within my art studio/office, I offer ceramics, painting, collage, drawing, fiber arts, sculpture and art with recyclables.

With over 30 years of experience with children and their families I utilize many of the leading approaches including CBT and solution focused and strength based to help with a "good fit" or alliance being the primary objective. When the child or teen is comfortable in opening up healing and positive change is possible. Parents have many tools some of which they are not using to fullest and these can be accessed with help.

Life feeling hard is normal, but there are times when it feels like too much. Grieving, worrying, connecting, differentiating, feeling stuck, relationship challenges, self doubt, fear, entrenched patterns that we can’t seem to change. It can feel impossible to figure out on your own where things are stuck and what might help.

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.
