I have a specialized interest in the treatment and recovery process of those suffering from relational trauma (complex-trauma) that often begins with the family of origin and continues to appear in adult relationships in the form of codependency, love addiction/avoidance, infidelity, betrayal/trauma bonds, attachment disorders and generational trauma. I am certified in Relational Life Therapy (RLT) and trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Post-Induction Therapy (Pia Mellody's PIT) and Eye-Movement-Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I am also very much a proponent of the late John Bradshaw (Healing the Shame That Binds You).

During this very challenging time of communities chaos, personal and career transitions and uncertainties, we are all seeking comfort, understanding, welcoming connection, and joining something that is both meaningful and personally fulfilling and safe to participate in. We seek others that can identify with our own experiences, our fears, and our perceived solutions. We feel guarded and suspicious, and alone and sometimes forgotten. We blame ourselves for feeling depressed or anxious, grief and heartbroken for our families, our future, and work environments. We want to work harder to feel better and yet, continue to struggle.

When we can trust who we are and experience a sense of safety within us, regardless of what shows up to challenge us in the outside world, we begin opening to life in a way that offers us true joy and peace. Your body has the inherent wisdom needed for that kind of healing. I work with women and non-binary folx, and fit best with those seeking something different from traditional talk therapy. I provide an empathic and safe environment in which clients who seek to understand themselves further can explore who they are, free from judgment or criticism, and expand their capacity to tolerate difficulties they may encounter.

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.
