There are times when we need assistance navigating through life's obstacles. Other times, we don't need intense evaluation but practical solutions. Sometimes, we need a listening ear to help us gain confidence and reassurance when we've allowed life to get us down. I want to establish an environment that promotes success and the general welfare of every client. Together, we can explore the steps and recourses needed for you to get to your desired destination of well-being.

We totally get that starting therapy can feel intimidating which is why were giving therapy a modern makeover, making it cooler and more relatable than ever. Therapy is about understanding the self that you are and sometimes getting to know yourself is to unknow yourself. It's all about being real and feeling heard, exactly as you are in a space where you're free to be YOU. The greatest act of self-love is to no longer accept a life you are unhappy with. Happiness is not something you can chase. It is something you have to allow. If trauma can be passed down so can healing.

My passion for over 30 years has been to help people explore, identify and deal with problematic or out of control behaviors and the effects in their lives and in the lives of loved ones. I have always believed that these excessive behaviors have served as one way for people to regulate their moods, their neurochemistry, and to cope with anxiety and fears. In other words, to change the way they feel. I enjoy helping people learn to manage stress and anxiety in new ways. I also love helping people improve their relationship with themselves and others and to develop a deeper sense of meaning and purpose.

What do ADHD, Borderline Personality, and Eating Disorders all have in common? Emotional dysregulation and a negative view of self. Because of the intensity and devastating impact of these diagnoses, individuals are often burdened with secondary labels such as "broken," "dramatic," "lazy," "not good enough," "too emotional." These messages eventually distort and reshape one's identity resulting in depression, anxiety, relationship issues. Pressure from loved ones to "fit in" eventually lead to suppressing emotions- developing into maladaptive attempts to self regulate through avoidance, substance use, fighting, and binge eating.

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.
