I focus on the treatment of adolescents and adults by integrating both psychodynamic and CBT principles. I aid my clients in achieving meaningful and lasting change by helping them better understand their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. It is my firm belief that clients ultimately do the heavy lifting in helping themselves. While I can guide them through with careful listening and appropriate questioning, it is with their dedication and hard work that they find the answers to a more fulfilling and happy life.

Do you have a chronic case of the Sunday Scaries? Do you feel like there's not enough time in the day? Are you struggling to express how you're feeling to others? Too often, we sacrifice our own well-being & needs for the sake of others': family members, partners, children, friends or employers. Eventually, we realize this is not sustainable; it leads to tremendous burnout, anxiety, stress, & just not feeling ourselves. Through working with me, you will learn to prioritize self-care, maintain balance, recognize & honor your feelings, & how to be the best version of yourself, all while navigating the uncertainties of life.

Internal struggles can be difficult and lonely to experience. Living with constant worry and anxiety, feelings of sadness, obsessive and compulsive thoughts, or behaviors, are all challenges that are painful to navigate. The exciting news is that through proper treatment one can learn to work through these hurdles, and instead of viewing them as demons, transform them into vehicles for self-awareness and growth. I aim to create a safe and nurturing environment for my clients where they feel heard and supported.

Are you looking to slow things down inside when your world seems never to stop? In order to shift anything, one must reach, with a gentle touch, the parts of ourselves that are able to transform. I passionately hold that we could all use a way to slow down our rapidly evolving lives—a way to hold space for what drives us forward, or slows us down in ways we’d like to speed up. Therapy is a space to peel back layers to help you move toward being fully expressed, in steady, easy participation with your life—even with its inevitable ups and downs and the in-between spaces.

Anxiety, Depression and relationship issues can range from restricting to debilitating. Have you found yourself making the same mistakes in your personal and professional life? Are you stuck in an unsatisfying relationship or job, where you feel unable to move forward? Do you have the tendency to keep rehashing past mistakes? Do you feel anxious or depressed as a result? If your answer to any of these questions is "yes," and are eager to free yourself from long-standing unhelpful behaviors, then psychotherapy can help you find the answers you seek and the tools you need to promote growth and change in your life.

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.
