Hello and thank you for considering me as a teammate in your journey to wellness! As a Counselor and Licensed Art Therapist, I work with clients to achieve a state of health and wellness unique to them. You may have done therapy previously, or this may be your first time, but either way I will walk you through every step of this process providing education, support, warmth, and encouragement. I believe that all of us inherently know what we need in our lives, and we are all capable of achieving our goals, but at times we may need new tools and a consistent encouraging support system to make progress.

Feelings of hopelessness, worthlessness, and helplessness often bring people into psychotherapy. I help children, adolescents, and adults individually or couples with emotional issues. These important issues present in our lives in many ways including relationship problems, feelings of anger, anxiety or depression that many times do not make sense or may feel that things may seem unchangeable. May be difficult to imagine that current circumstances in your life could ever be better. For example, difficulties with work or school performance, or you may simply feel stuck. I also help parents understand their child better.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Clients come to me with a variety of symptoms, ranging from the physical (chest pains, stomach pains) to the emotional (panic attacks, detachment). Some clients don't know what they are feeling, they just know they want to feel better. We work together to understand root causes and core beliefs, and then learn coping skills to change the way they think so they can change the way they feel. Clients leave our sessions feeling more empowered. Rather than life happening to them, I teach clients how to be an active player in their own life.

You've climbed the ladder, but the view from the top isn't as fulfilling as you thought it would be. The constant pressure, the fear of failure, the lingering trauma - it's all taking a toll. You're tired of feeling anxious, angry, and disconnected from your emotions. What you need is a safe space to unpack it all. A place where you can understand your feelings, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build a more fulfilling life.

You may find yourself wondering if this is how it is “supposed” to feel. Being pregnant or having a new baby is hard, so this is normal, right? You find yourself putting on a mask, declaring that everything is great when that really isn’t your experience. The message is everywhere that you are supposed to be your happiest and embracing every moment of this time, and guilt creeps in when that isn’t your reality. The worry, the struggle to be present. I see you. Your day is full of comparison traps making you wonder if you are good enough, doing enough. You may struggle to ask for help, and when you try you don’t know what to ask for.

I work with people of all races, social classes, gender identities, religions, and ethnicities. I believe that no problem or concern area is too far from the core of the human experience and good therapy is about learning how to navigate your own thoughts and emotions in a healthy way. I tend to work with people who overthink, have major anxiety, low mood, depression and who are generally lost on what "to do" next. I help people address their childhood trauma and come back to The Self by listening to their bodies as much as they do their minds.

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.
