Life isn’t always about being able to breathe easy, but sometimes it takes your breath completely away. If you are having difficulty in catching your breath, being present in your daily life, feeling stuck or going through a difficult time, I want to help. I hold in high regard the theory of self-actualization, which allows a person to recognize their own strengths and gives them the capability to use their strengths in their journey, at their own pace, and by their own choice. My goal is to empower individuals with knowledge and tools and personal growth so that they can live successful lives.

Feeling lost? Angry? Maybe even a little broken? That's okay. In therapy, there are no masks, no need to hide your true feelings. You can cuss, cry, or scream if you want. It's your space to be unapologetically you, without expectations or judgments. Maybe you've been through therapy before, and while it helped to have someone listen & give you coping skills, it was like slapping a Band-Aid on a wound. You know logically what you should do, but your emotions keep dragging you down different paths. Those thoughts of not being good enough, needing to please everyone, or striving for perfection, They're suffocating, aren't they?

I like take a Person-centered approach by incorporating Mindfulness and Creativity which can enhance the counseling experience. This is achieved by incorporating art, music, play, and sand tray work. I have experience working with concerns including anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, schizophrenia, stress, grief, attachment wounds, ADHD, and Autism spectrum disorder. I also utilize EMDR therapy with clients so that they can heal from their trauma.

Addiction and substance misuse can be very sneaky. It’s easy to get stuck in comfortable habits and develop stagnant routines without realizing it – we all do it! You feel stuck, shameful, or afraid. Maybe the world looks a little darker than it used to, like a shadow is hanging over everything. You're starting to wonder if your substance use, gambling, porn consumption, or something else is negatively impacting your life or mental health, and you're curious about making some changes.

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.
