In a world that demands you put a timeline on your healing, I understand that healing requires patience, spaciousness, playfulness and a sense of safety. I’ll offer you a space where you can slow down and reconnect with your full self, trusting that your body and intuition are essential to your healing journey. I can help you develop greater awareness of yourself and how your story has impacted you, and equip you with skills to weather difficult circumstances and overwhelming thoughts or emotions.

I believe that every challenge in life is an opportunity for us to demonstrate our character and to grow. However, we sometimes don't even know where to start and require assistance from others in finding our path. It can also be helpful to have someone to walk with you through that challenge who can provide hope and validation of your strengths. Counseling offers a safe space to find your path and overcome challenges.

Hello! Finding a great therapist can be difficult for myriad reasons. When you aren't certain about what to do next, connecting with a professional who brings experience, training and compassion can be just what you need. My favorite clients are queer and/or neurodivergent, struggling with adjusting to parenthood, are highly sensitive people (HSPs), or are coping with life transitions. I also love working with caregivers of older adults as their work is so important, but so undervalued by many, it seems. I help my clients feel understood, validated, and attended to.

Choosing to pursue therapy can be daunting. It takes effort and intention, things that don't come easily when experiencing stress or crisis. I understand this and want to support you in the step you're about to take. Perhaps you'd like to consider the "why's" behind certain decisions, or connect better with significant people in your life. Maybe you're struggling to keep the lid on hurtful or damaging experiences.

Life may not be turning out as you thought it would. Disappointments, failed expectations, trauma, tragedy or loss may make up part of your story that you have had a hard time accepting and moving on from. Or maybe you have dealt with a pervasive challenge like anxiety or depression that seems to be deeply rooted, and is disrupting your life. I believe that you can learn how to move through these challenges by processing the pain, gaining deeper insight about yourself and learning strategies along the way. This will improve how you view yourself, and others and help you to make the changes you want to keep moving forward.

I love to see my clients discover and learn to empower themselves to be exactly who they are and to live the life they want for themselves. Sometimes feeling overwhelmed by certain emotions, stressful life events, or self-doubt can make it difficult to identify and utilize your strengths, to feel good about yourself, and to make the changes you want. I work with my clients to help them use the strengths they already have as well as to learn new skills to help them remember just how capable they are and to further empower them to work towards the change they want.

My interests include assisting individuals in developing self-esteem and self-concept, as well as healthy and effective relationships with family, friends or partners. I also have experience working with those with anxiety, depression and other mood disorders. I work with individual clients and couples 18+. Sorry, I do not see children.

You may be experiencing a relationship crisis involving infidelity or other forms of betrayal.

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.
