Do you have times when you struggle with feelings of guilt, fear, hopelessness or shame? These times can make you feel out of control and unbalanced. Extra support can be helpful even though seeking it can be scary.

I love working with kids ages 6 months to 12 years old and their families. I have participated in a state sponsored 2 year program to learn to assess and treat children from birth to 5 years old. I also co created and facilitated a therapeutic playgroup that included parents and children ages 3-5 years . The group was created to help children and parents build relationship through play and also provide parents with resources on how to manage tantrums or other behavioral concerns. I used play therapy techniques to assist children in processing their thoughts and feelings.

As one of the most complex structures known to exist, the inner workings of the human brain continues to be something that, collectively, we know little about. One thing we do know is that our brains function to protect us from unpleasant features of human experience such as discomfort, pain, and trauma. But sometimes, when the brain is doing everything in its power to protect us from these unpleasant experiences, it may feel as though our minds are working against us, rather than with us. I strive to help clients form a healthier relationship with their own minds, in the pursuit of living their happiest and most fulfilling lives.

Life is not fair. Many of us have learned this in very difficult or traumatic ways. Many of us bear the wounds and scars of broken marriages, families, or abuse; feel overwhelmed and alone; believe we are unloved or rejected; have thoughts we can not control; or can not seem to stop behaviors we know hurt us and those we love. We also know deep down this is not how it is supposed to be. Life is meant to be lived with abundant joy, peace, deep and fulfilling relationships, and acceptance and celebration of who we were created to be. Those who seek help through therapy are the most courageous people I know.

Confronting the unyielding grasp of anxiety, depression, or OCD is a relentless struggle, but there is hope. They distort reality, making everyday tasks seem insurmountable and thoughts unshakeable. Each moment becomes a battle against unseen forces, where progress is hard-won and every step forward is a triumph.

My ideal client is someone who is open to self reflection. You've weighed the pros and cons of addressing what is bothering you, and you've decided that it's worth the risk to consider trying something different.

As a therapist, I strive to "hold space" with clients. Holding space for another person is incredibly profound bringing your entire presence to them. You walk along with them without judgment, willing to end up wherever they need to go by giving the energy of our attention to the pain and struggle of another human being. As a ally to a variety of communities, I make it a priority to learn about the complexities and intersections of a persons identity; to honor each person's journey and recognize the privileges I have in sharing such a vulnerable space.

The choice to seek therapy services can be a difficult one. However, the challenges that motivate us towards change can become opportunities to create a deeper awareness of who we are, and who we wish to become. I believe we grow in connection to others, it’s in these relationships we learn the most about ourselves and what we want from our lives. I aim to co-create an attuned, safe, and collaborative relationship that supports your unique goals and individuality. I hope to accompany you through the discovery of your inherent resilience to pursue growth that enables you to live authentically and explore new possibilities.

I aim to prioritize women who are suffering from current or past intimate partner violence.
Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, a challenging relationship, or loss of a sense of self? Do you put yourself and your needs at the bottom of the list? Do you feel defeated, helpless, guilty, or overwhelmed? Are you spreading yourself so thin that you feel inadequate in every area of your life? Working on setting boundaries is healthy, you cannot be everything to everyone, and nothing to yourself. You absolutely must choose yourself, and that looks different for each person, let me help you find what this looks like for you! You’re allowed to put your needs first, that doesn’t make you selfish, therapy can be the first step.

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.
