My clients come from a broad spectrum of ages and life experiences, often seeking a different approach to whatever is concerning them. I think that's wise, because I agree with Einstein who said that you can't solve a problem in the same paradigm that created it. If you want something different, you need to do something different, and most people benefit from discovering why, and how, they self-sabotage.

Are you trying to handle anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or simply feeling overwhelmed? Your lived experiences have a huge impact on your mental health. Therapy is a place to process and heal. It takes hard work, bravery, and patience to go through all the heavy "stuff" that you carry around on a daily basis. You do not have to be alone in the process of your healing. The most important thing to me is that my client feels no judgment, is heard, and can trust that I am going to work just as hard as they are to reach their goals.

In one's walk towards wholeness and change, there are various barriers and hindrances one must overcome: The prism in which we view life, the messages we received about ourselves from our family of origin, what has happened to us and what we tell ourselves about it, our fear of feelings, and our learned coping mechanisms are just a few. As a Christian counselor, it is my desire to provide a safe and accepting environment in which we can walk and work together to expose, understand, and overcome these barriers.

Some of our most basic human needs are a sense of safety, of belonging, and of being capable in our lives. It can be difficult to get these needs met, and as a result, we often feel alone, inadequate, and anxious. What we struggle to see in that painful process is that it can be a first step toward positive growth. In my practice you will find a nurturing, accepting environment that supports you in your journey toward healing.

I’m not your typical therapist. I'm real. I'm approachable. And I don't think therapy should be some stale, clinical, sterile experience. That doesn’t sound like a great therapy experience to me! I work with women who are seeking change in their life – related to career, social life, personal development – but don’t know where to start or how to make positive change happen. Within the therapy setting I create a welcoming environment by taking on a solution focused approach, utilizing empathy, challenging you when appropriate, and using humor at times.

We all face challenging and overwhelming times in our lives. These include realizing we are unhappy with life as it is, the concern we'll never be able to live the life we want in order to be happy, stress, grief and loss, unresolved trauma, as well as other issues.

I use an eclectic, integrated approach to treatment that fits the unique needs of each client. I offer a safe, supportive environment and consider it an honor to work with clients toward healing and achieving the changes they want to make.

I have special training in working with LGBQ and Transgender people and also with women, and I identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community.
After 15+ years of practice and training other therapists, I have learned working with someone who “gets” you can be nurturing and healing. I believe this happens when the therapist brings their personal authenticity to your session, and research tells us this is one of the most critical elements in therapy. Listening deeply, asking the right questions, and providing honest and helpful feedback tailored to your personality are the other skills that complete the picture. It is my passion to help people to change painful patterns, to heal, to become whole, and to find their life’s joy and fulfillment.

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.
