Do you find yourself preoccupied, unable to sleep well, or moody and irritable? Have you found it more difficult to get out of bed and face the day with motivation and energy? Have you or others noticed that there is more conflict in your interactions? I have been successful in helping many individuals, couples and families clarify and understand their difficulties, identify strategies for change, and collaboratively work together for problem resolution. My approach is engaging, with an emphasis on reflective listening, giving feedback and information, and empathically supporting the difficult but rewarding process of change.

Are you or your child struggling? Does your child display anxiety more often than it seems he or she should? Are they missing out on an enjoyable, if not "typical" grade school or college experience? Or, maybe you are trying to conceive, and having difficulty feeling calm and seeing the outcomes you desire? Wherever you or your loved one is on their journey, I hear you and I see you. Our bodies are wired for stress as a means of protecting us from potential danger, but sometimes we get "stuck" in our stress response, which can keep us from our goals. I help clients challenge these responses to form more healthy, adaptable ones.

Have you ever felt like therapy didn’t quite bring relief, or as if you were ‘failing’ at treatment? Feeling burnt out and unsure why, or facing the challenges of parenting a unique child? You’re not alone and certainly not a failure! Not every therapeutic approach is a fit for everyone, and some can even amplify distress—particularly when neurodiversity goes unrecognized and unsupported. Gaining a deeper understanding of how your mind works and exploring strategies tailored to diverse neurotypes can be transformative, fostering increased confidence, improved behaviors, & enriched relationships for a more fulfilling quality of life.

I believe that every relationship is as unique as the people in it, but sometimes couples fall into common dynamics that damage trust and connection. When things get off track, each person has the ability to reestablish a deep and loving connection -- sometimes it just takes a little help breaking free of those negative patterns.

Every day gives you choices, sometimes too many choices. Yet, it is “your” choice to make today or tomorrow. Through practicing as a psychotherapist for the past ten years, being a parent, professor, and an athlete I have experienced many people having difficulties making choices. So many of us get stuck with feelings of depression, fear and anxiety that making even one choice becomes too difficult. It helps to have someone assist by listening, guiding and being a support. This role is a role that I feel comfortable with as a therapist. My therapeutic style is best described as engaged & supportive

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."Lao-tzu You have just taken the first step of that journey. Life presents us with many challenges along the way. We may experience loss and significant changes in our lives. These challenges may present themselves in the many relationships we have with others, in our jobs, at school, and in our families. These challenges may affect our moods, cause us worry and despair, hamper our spirits, sadden us, confuse us and result in either our stumbling off course or losing a sense of direction. Therapy can be most helpful in getting you back on track and continuing your journey.

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.
