Now accepting new Aetna clients! Being a human can be really hard sometimes. Maybe it’s hard because there’s an area in our lives where we struggle, like in our careers or relationships. Perhaps, we’ve experienced some painful times that we haven’t fully healed from or find ourselves engaging in problematic behaviors. Whatever our struggles, I’ve found that psychotherapy can help reduce our suffering and help connect us to the joy of being alive.

Finding a therapist is daunting; I value the work you've done so far. I specialize in trauma-focused care for transitions, eating disorders, and attachment wounds. You may feel stuck, unsure, doubtful that much can improve your way of thinking and relating to yourself, others, and the world around you. Most people attempt to change behaviors instead of the roots of how they came to be; I want to help your heal you inner critic, explore self-compassion, acknowledge your values, and voice your boundaries. I want you to find support and an ally in me. And if you don't, I want to help you find someone else who can be that for you.

Whether your family life feels chaotic, you have past trauma, or a recent loss, counseling is a big next step in moving forward. It takes a bit of energy, but many of us have put a lot of energy toward fixing our lives already and found that it's much easier to do with the help of others. Counselors don't have all the answers, but we can often help you identify patterns of behavior, unhelpful thoughts, or even help you more clearly understand what is going on. Sometimes we need practical advice or information and other times we just need a listening ear to help us process.

I’m a licensed psychologist offering therapy to adults and couples. You may be feeling overwhelmed with stress, grief or unhappy with your relationships. I believe that our early relationships profoundly impact our view of self and expectations of others. We often get into a pattern of relationships that are stressful and challenging. Life is also full of external stress that can impact our feelings of satisfaction and joy. I am warm, supportive and will work with you to identify your goals for treatment. I am passionate about my work and feel privileged to witness the growth and recovery that therapy provides.

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.
