About Therapy

I find that even though our society has evolved to be  less judgmental and more accepting in general, a terrible misunderstanding and stigma about therapy remains. “It’s not like I’m crazy or anything!” “My problems aren’t that bad!” I hear statements like these more often than you might expect.

However, therapy is not the sole domain of the clinically insane. Today’s therapy provides a comfortable, non-judgmental, impartial setting in which you can vent your frustrations about anything and everything. In return, you receive support, understanding, empathy and counsel on how to potentially improve your situation.

Sometimes we struggle with feelings and issues that we know our loving family and friends simply aren’t equipped to handle. As a trained therapist, I have the tools to help you. Nothing is too horrible or embarrassing to share—this is your time, your space. Remember, I am here to serve you!

Together, we will talk through your concerns and collaborate on effective ways to bring about the change you want and need. There are many ways in which this can happen, and each session is tailored specifically to your needs, your personality and your life.

Issues we might discuss include:

• Relationships
• Parenting
• Feeling “stuck” in your job
• Friendships
• Relating to your parents as an adult
• How to improve overall wellbeing
• Poor self esteem
• Abandonment issues
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Physical manifestations of stress
• Eating issues/eating disorders
• Lack of sexual desire
• Connecting to your spirituality 

I am passionate about women and the unique struggles they face in their day-to-day lives—from relationships, to juggling career and family, to trying to make the world around them a little better. I truly enjoy working with couples and consider it a great honor to be allowed into their lives to work together toward greater fulfillment in their marriage/relationship. My other passion is fathers  struggling in ongoing custody issues. I understand what  kind of stress this puts on everyday life, especially on your relationship with your children and new significant other, and I would love to offer you support during this challenging time.

Personally, I have a strong faith in God, and this perspective of spirituality infuses my personal life, as well as my approach to therapy. Of course, I respect all religious (or spiritual) backgrounds and beliefs and believe it is an incredibly healing aspect in any therapy when you can more fully embrace and connect with it.

I do care deeply about my clients and sincerely enjoy learning about them and their lives. I consider it a tremendous privilege to be able to celebrate successes and mourn losses with them. Ultimately, my desire is to equip my clients with the tools they need to manage their own feelings and issues more effectively, creating space for joy and fulfillment in their relationships and lives. 

I look forward to meeting you and joining you on your journey!
