I love watching people heal from their emotional wounds and I love treating trauma. Whether we have anxiety, depression, or post traumatic stress, we all experience various levels of trauma. I enjoy getting to know people on a deeper, meaningful level, and then peeling back the surface layers of what is seen and exploring the unseen to get to the root of problems. Therapy, done well, is vulnerable and sometimes frightening, but it is incredibly rewarding for my clients and me. I love to watch my clients discover new, wonderful things about themselves as they gradually see themselves in new, hopeful ways.

I love working with individuals and couples who feel stuck in their lives or their marriages, and need help in developing tools to help them move forward! I find it extremely rewarding to create a sacred space for my clients to come in and take those deep dives when it comes to exploring their religion, marriage/family dynamics, and their own personal narratives. It can be scary and challenging however, I truly believe that with the appropriate support, the difficult can turn into the rewarding!

I love working with families and couples! I find working with couples rewarding, and I enjoy witnessing their combined and individual journeys throughout the therapy process. In addition, I have a passion for those who have experience with neurodiversity within their family and/or relational system—specifically, Autism and ADHD. Coming from experience, I feel there is a great need for mental health services for families, couples, parents, and individuals who go through the initial diagnosis process and challenging situations that may arise. Other areas I have experience in are eating disorders, faith transitions, and self-discovery.

Welcome to Abundance Family Therapy! My passion is working with couples, the foundation of the family. My belief is that the well being of each family member impacts the whole. This allows me the ability to work with varying ages and the unique problems impacting couples, individuals, and relationships within differing families. We are wired to connect, so naturally our greatest happiness and heartache often come from our relationships. Anxiety, depression, feelings of being stuck, loneliness, spiritual challenges, and communication issues are not weaknesses, they are experiences that remind us we are human and invite growth.

Are you struggling to create the adventurous, meaningful life you imagined, free of anxiety, depression and irritability? I work with ambitious, professional women who want to have better boundaries, healthier relationships and improved self-esteem. My clients reduce people-pleasing behaviors, stabilize their mood and experience greater confidence as they navigate life's seasons and transitions (including motherhood, faith crisis, divorce, loss and much more). Together, we set an expectation that you'll not only be coping better, but having to cope less as we get to the root of the issue with weekly therapy sessions.

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.
