Who I Treat
My true clinical passion has matured into working with adult women and older female adolescents exclusively.

Female-specific Therapy
Women need a therapist who understands the psychology of women. Women require a therapist who offers the safety of another woman who understands and has thousands of data points for what worked for others who have come my office before you. Social workers tend to not see "the person as the problem", but look at the whole system surrounding the client and how we can strategically alter certain aspects of the environment to help clients grow and heal. I 100% embody this approach. Let us figure out together what's not working for you and how to change it. You will become more self aware and see where there is opportunity, should you take it, to negate some of the sabotaging influence of your past relationships and negative belief systems in order to become the woman you were born to be.
Therapy for our Wise Elder Women
Over the years I've had the privilege of working with women well into their 70s and 80s. I don't know how it started, but this beautiful phenomenon became more and more regular. My women perhaps lost their spouse or a best friend and looked around and thought, "I wonder who I could be now?" Just by asking the right questions, some never asked of them before, they unfolded and bloomed into women that they may have never known they had the option to be.
Online dating for most women is a nightmare. Depending on who you speak to, what you Google, the world will tell you how to "play the game." My questions are these: Wonder if you play it your way? What would that look like? When you've played the games, presenting yourself as extra casual, easy going and mellow, have you matched with close could-be mates? Wonder if you said all the things that are true from the beginning?
My goal for my single women is that they decide who they are, what they want and "advertise" as such right from the get-go. Will you have less matches? YES! Will you still come across a bunch of duds? YEP! Will you have to second guess yourself for being "too (fill in the blank)" when he doesn't call after the 4th date? NO! Why? Because you are going to present yourself as you are. I will help you. Don't waste any more time playing around. Don't spend weeks chatting over the apps and emails, you don't have time for that! I'll help you to ask in your way that you meet sooner so you can either have a match or move on to the next. The processes is exhausting so let's conserve your energy so you don't have to take "dating app breaks". I will help you see yourself so others can too!
Adolescent Therapy
Being adults, we forget how profound adolescent struggles feel. We often overlook the importance of our teens passing through life challenges in a complete and successful way in order to have a strong and empowered sense of self moving into adulthood. I often meet with older adolescents and later, bring the family together in order to achieve greater understanding between the generations. My teens leave their work with me having been asked key questions about who they are and who they want to be as they walk through this life.
