You’re stuck and you just don't know what to do about it. It is hard enough to get out of bed everyday but choosing a path for your life seems impossible and drains you of the limited amount of energy and motivation that you have to begin with. Other people can complete daily tasks and chart a life course without overwhelming anxiety, so you conclude that obviously that means there must be something wrong with you. Maybe you can even pinpoint an exact situation or time in your life that sent you spiraling into anxiety, forcing you to become someone you do not even recognize.

Life can sometimes be unpredictable. Many times change catches us by surprise and we find ourselves confused, anxious, and maybe uncertain about what lies ahead or unable to process events in the past. You may be struggling to cope with anxiety, have difficulty staying on task or remaining focused, feeling unfulfilled in your career, or even dealing with a sports related injury.

Deep wounds of unprocessed trauma, personal grief, recovery from narcissistic abuse, or unexpected medical disorders are life-altering. Medical professionals, first responders, caregivers, and family members of those with chronic illnesses often carry the trauma bound to their profession or life circumstances. The outcome is often marred by anger, apathy, denial, helplessness, hopelessness, unyielding worry, emptiness, loneliness, and isolation, a relentless cascade of emotions. Trauma mars all aspects of life. I would love to meet you where you are and sit with you until you recognize and find yourself again.

Life can feel so overwhelming sometimes – the biggest understatement, right? Maybe you feel like the Earth keeps spinning, but your world stopped somewhere along the way because of anxiety, depression, or even symptoms from your ADHD. Feeling paralyzed or stuck by the thoughts racing through your mind is exhausting and can even be debilitating. Maybe you’re a new mom, struggling to find the joy in your role as a mother to a new baby because the anxiety and/or depression makes it feel like you’re drowning in fear, searching for your next breath.

Life has a way of throwing some tough challenges your way that can significantly impact you, making you feel broken, stuck, empty, and in pain. Sometimes you need a guiding hand to navigate the bumpy road of life, to work through pain you or others have caused, to help you out of the pit that you have found yourself in, to guide you in the right direction, and to provide you with the right tools to make your journey a success. Hope, healing, restoration, and confidence are the words that come to mind when I think of what I want you to gain as you come through therapy. Therapy is a process, but you are worth the investment.

The culture we live in today bombards us with messages that tell us who we should be, how we should look, and what we should do. My goal is to help you develop a stronger sense of self and experience the freedom that comes from living from that foundation. I primarily utilize a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy approach to challenge unhealthy beliefs and help you view you struggles as something that does not define you as a person.

I got into therapy so I could help people end the cycles detracting from their fullest potential in life. So many of us plug through the day with nasty negative thoughts about ourselves, leaving us drained of energy and an incapacity to be mindful and present with each other. Using EMDR, mindfulness, and a heavy dose of humanity and empathy, I help my clients obtain the changes they seek in order to be the best versions of themselves. My style is thoughtful, witty, intentional, and comfortable and I'm always happy to help those who are ready to help themselves grow!

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.
