I work primarily with adolescents, teens, and emerging adults, but I have worked with many other age brackets in the past. I am not only a therapist but a certified Life Coach. I love taking both practices and mixing them into one. I like to look at the “why” behavioral patterns occur and “how” to work towards a goal. My person-centered approach helps me build a quick rapport so change can happen quickly.

Anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and/or co-dependency can get in the way of having confidence in yourself or getting what you really want in relationships or even loving yourself. I'll "roll up my sleeves" and help find real answers and new pathways that will make a difference. The chronic cycle of trying to deal with it and feeling like you are getting no where can end. I will help you feel better and be more of what you want to be.

Working with clients who are open to growth, aware of their concerns, and motivated to make changes is energizing to me. A client’s openness to growth is crucial for change along with a willingness to learn and adapt. Increasing self-awareness occurs through recognition of emotional states, patterns of behavior, and their impact on your life. When others don’t understand your struggles with motivation, it can leave you feeling isolated and unsupported. This sense of being alone in your challenges can exacerbate feelings of frustration and make it harder to find the drive to overcome them.

Accepting NEW clients! Unfortunately many people have had negative experiences with counseling, making them hesitant to seek help again. I love working with those who are uncomfortable with the idea of therapy. A client once told me "You should be a therapist for people who do not like therapy". I try to understand people on an individual level & adapt my skills to meet their needs. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, & nonjudgmental atmosphere. Therapy should not be simply "learning coping skills", to deal with negative feelings, it should involve working through the root of the problem to facilitate long-lasting change.

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.
