You want to experience confidence, but deep down you're struggling silencing the negative voices in your head. You might be worn out from constantly replaying the trauma, feeling exhausted from how it shows up in relationships and how you navigate conflict, or even how this impacts your sense of self. You never share about the pain you’ve been carrying for so long, but you’re ready for someone to even just listen. You’re ready to learn the tools to address and process your trauma. You might’ve been afraid of being judged or embarrassed by your own actions, but I’m here to remind you, your past and your mistakes don’t define you.

HelIo! I'm glad you're here. If you are feeling anxious, stuck, struggling with self-esteem, relationships, or life in general, I can offer a warm, compassionate, and - when appropriate - humorous space for you to openly express yourself. My approach is rooted in kindness, curiosity, and understanding. I work collaboratively with my clients, tailoring the therapeutic experience to meet their needs and priorities in a way that feels most accessible in the moment. Together we can explore current and past experiences to promote insight and self-awareness, and examine habits and thought patterns that no longer serve you.

Grief, trauma and the loss that comes with both may leave us feeling broken and like we’re not worthy or deserving of good things. You might be exhausted from constantly hiding and making yourself small, feeling insecure, or unsure of your voice. Life may have always felt this way. Yet, one thing you know for certain: you’re ready for something to change. You’re ready to be reminded of your agency, worth, and power. Despite the discomfort and fear, you’re ready to be seen and heard. Most of all, you’re ready to discover your voice!

The challenges that we inevitably face in our lives, while frustrating and overwhelming, provide us with opportunities to gain insight into patterns that at one time helped us and are now contributing to our distress. I believe that these patterns not only impact the decisions we make in various avenues of life, but our perspective of the things that are happening to us and around us. Growth starts from developing a deeper awareness of these patterns.

I approach therapy with authenticity, depth, and compassion. Everyone is unique, and there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach. Although the symptoms may look similar for a group of people, the diverse background, circumstances, and perspectives of those individuals are likely to require different treatment approaches. I attentively, non-judgmentally, and respectfully collaborate with each client to examine the root cause of certain behavior and thought processes. By exploring their unconscious thoughts and feelings, I am able to facilitate awareness of established relationship patterns and the impact on their day-to-day interactions

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.
