You're a high achieving perfectionist with anxiety. You've been told that you're "Too sensitive" & "Too much." Everyone comes to you for help, but you have no one to turn to. You don't fit in anywhere- not even in your marriage. It's hard to be authentic with others 'cos they don't get you. You're lonely & anxious. You've pushed the trauma so deep down that you're in survival mode. On the outside things seem great, but you're a mess on the inside. You don't know how to stop people pleasing & perfectionism. You've prayed and read books, but you're feeling desperate. You need long-lasting change NOW.

I love to work with people who strive for autonomy, freedom, and self awareness to tap into their most authentic selves.

Humor has long been considered an essential element of healing. I place great value on the coupling of feelings. The deep coexisting alongside the light. Our stories are equally diverse and important, but the therapeutic relationship doesn't have to feel frigid. On the contrary, warmth signals affirmation and perhaps a kind of acceptance we have reasoned to be unattainable. I consider building rapport to be the first step in laying the foundation of our safe space. Every single person, regardless of background, beliefs, persuasions, affiliations, or afflictions, deserves to feel validated and worthy. You are not alone.

Your child has been sexually abused and your world has been turned upside down. You are angry. Horrified. And feeling betrayed. You're trying to manage your feelings while supporting your child and it's leaving you feeling overwhelmed. Your child won’t talk to you about it and they're struggling. You are desperate for help for your child. Or you may be an adult who’s experienced childhood sexual abuse and blame yourself for all the things that happened to you that you couldn’t control. You’ve spent years blocking it out, pushing it down, trying not to think about it or talk about it. But you can only avoid it for so long.

I believe when you make time and invest the energy to allowing yourself to grow, succeed, and acknowledge all that you are capable of, it is priceless. I want to help you feel empowered to live your life with an abundance of confidence, strength, and peace. You deserve it because taking care of you matters. "We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden." - Johann von Goethe

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.
