I do not see my job as telling you what to do, but to help you quiet the noise that gets in the way of hearing your own voice. ​In our work together, you will find support and patience as you walk through whatever cross-roads life presents in front of you. You will have the freedom to explore yourself, your life and your experiences. I believe that everyone I work with is the expert on their own life so for this reason, I feel the best way to serve my clients is to work as a mirror; assisting people in transformation through reflection. Powerful healing and change occurs with the felt sense of being truly seen and heard.

My ideal client is an individual who either has been contemplating change or is ready to make changes in their life and would like to have someone objective to talk with. I am open minded and love to learn from my clients. I think that continuing education is vital and that mental health is as important as physical health. My ideal client would be someone who would take what they think is beneficial from our session and practice it in their everyday life. Then we would discuss in future sessions how the practice went and what needs to be adjusted-if anything!

Ever feel at a loss on how to help your child face life's challenges? The problems that children, teens, and young adults face can be too overwhelming to manage. As parents, we want our children to grow and develop into healthy adults, and along the way to enjoy life, like themselves, and build friendships. It is a painful experience to watch as depression and anxiety derail your child on their journey forward in life. Children and teens face stressors and challenges just the same as adults, however they may not yet possess the skills needed to process and cope in a healthy and productive manner.

Reaching out is often the toughest step and it is very important (and can be rewarding) to find the right fit! Each individual has their own unique story and experiences and therefore deserving of an individualized approach to therapy. The therapeutic relationship should foster one's personal journey to self exploration and growth. My goal is to help you find your best fit and support you in your personal growth, healing, and self-empowering journey. My approach is often described as supportive, warm, empowering, challenging (when you need it), and humorous.

**NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME** Maybe you thought what you're struggling with would just go away, get better with time or disappear if you ignored it long enough and it hasn't. You might be feeling sad, anxious, alone, stressed, worried, misunderstood or overwhelmed. Or you're dealing with something or someone that's really stressful. Perhaps you want something different for yourself or your son/daughter, but you're feeling lost, unsure how to do it or stuck. It may be time to talk to someone on the outside to get a clearer sense of what's going on.

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.
