BREATHE. CONNECT. TRUST. I arrived at this mantra when I thought about what I could "gift" to a client to carry with them on a daily basis. BREATHE: take 3 deep breaths and consider what you need to do at this moment - CONNECT: Reach out- to a close family member or friend or therapist and share your feelings TRUST: trust the process- you are feeling this and sharing these feelings for a reason, trust yourself.

I evaluate children, teens, & adults with questions of ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and related emotional dysregulation and problems in functioning. Families can experience major frustration in finding interventions that are individualized to people’s unique needs: going through years of therapy and not feeling any better; getting conflicting feedback from other clinicians; having several diagnoses that don’t seem to align with what you’re going through; treatments that don’t seem to get you to your goals. Having a clear diagnosis is key in establishing a treatment plan and supporting interventions that are a good fit.

Therapy can be a significant help in finding relief from difficult feelings such as anger, grief, or sadness. Therapy is also an effective tool in finding solutions and confidence in difficult relationships, or with behaviors that you or a loved one may be struggling with. I acknowledge the courage it can take to seek assistance, as a therapist I always focus on clients strengths. I often work with adults coping with anxiety and depression, relationship difficulties, or various types of PTSD. I take a special interest in working with various types of trauma, dissociation, and dissociative disorders in adults.

It is through this process of understanding and discovery, that we uncover options for enhancing and building a meaningful life.

Imagine you're feeling stuck in patterns that don’t serve you. You may be navigating anxiety, ADHD, autism, trauma, or struggling with relationships or self-worth. My ideal client is ready to make changes, even if unsure where to start. You want to understand the "why" behind your struggles and, more importantly, how to change them. As Carl Jung said, "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate. I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become. You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do”.

“If your waiting for someone to believe in you, you’ll be waiting forever. You must believe in yourself.” …. Cher I want to understand you as your are and what your story is, not just what you are in counseling for. I build connections based on similarities or shared interests/knowledge/experiences/values. I am here to listen, be your support then help guide you to be happy with what looks back at you in the mirror. Having survived a near death experience, I learned about myself and was able to see my purpose in life. Therapy can heal by providing a safe space to feel held and supported while working through complex life events.

When you're looking for help, it can be hard to decide who to go to. You want someone who will understand; who will not judge or lecture you or label...someone who will focus on the core of the concern and have you feeling and performing better in the least amount of time. Much of what happens in successful counseling is a product of the relationship between therapist and client, so choosing your therapist is an important and difficult decision.

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.
