I have a practice which focuses on assisting each woman become the healthiest version of herself. I concentrate on areas in which many women struggle. Some of them are: depression, eating disorders, anxiety, panic disorders, sexual abuse, postpartum depression and stress. In order to live an abundantly fulfilled life, a person sometimes needs assistance. My purpose is to aid in this goal. Additionally, I now offer a program for students or adults with ADHD which assists in awareness of time and organization. This is a fun nonthreatening program which is extremely helpful with this issue.

You are juggling numerous responsibilities at a rapid-fire pace, doing so with fewer resources than you feel you need. Before long, you've stopped connecting with others in positive ways, leisure activities become after-thoughts, and you can't recall when you last had a “good day.” This is not the life you envisioned, and perhaps you're wondering, "how did I get here?" Your inner critic has a lofty list of your failures and reasons why you can't live your best life. But did you know? Failure is just data. Life can be both manageable and enjoyable.

Working with those who struggle to overcome the trauma of abusive relationships has been my life dream. However, trauma comes in many forms and leaves ugly scars that wreck havoc on our lives, but it does not have to control our lives. We can be overcomers! Working from a Mindfulness/CBT and person centered perspective allows us change the way we think about our past and regain control of our future.

If you find yourself here, I encourage you to reach out to me (email/text). You may be surprised to find that even if you’re not experiencing a “crisis” or a difficult time in life, therapy is a great way to learn more about yourself, improve your outlook, strengthen relationships, or gain career guidance. Everyone benefits from therapy. Having the pleasure of working in this field for over 15 years, I pride myself on taking an experiential approach to therapy, as each person is unique in his or her own way. Taking a “one size fits all” approach is not effective. I look forward to helping you on an effective therapeutic journey.

Toxic relationships leave us feeling drained, lonely, and sometimes even anxious or depressed. Do you feel like you're thriving in every area of life except your relationships? Are you tired of trying to build something meaningful with someone only to end up feeling unappreciated, misunderstood, and ultimately just stressed out? You might not even remember a time when your relationship didn't feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you're sick & tired of the same old cycle. You're ready for happiness. You're ready for peace of mind. Most of all, you're ready to find true joy and contentment in your relationship.

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.
