I integrate a social justice, feminist, and queer lens in our work together to understand your unique story.
My clients often find themselves in periods of transitions, feeling misunderstood, and navigating challenges with how they relate to themselves and others. You may be struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, and pressure from societal “shoulds”. Perhaps you are hoping to heal from trauma but unsure of where to begin. My individual and relational clients may also be seeking non-pathologizing support in navigating ethical non-monogamy/polyamory at any stage. Navigating the challenges of life can feel hard, scary, and at times, isolating. I am here to support you in that journey.

I utilize narrative, IFS (parts work), feminist, person-centered, and existential theories and work from an anti-racist, anti-colonial, sex positive, poly, queer and trans affirming perspective.
Whether seeking individual, relational, or family therapy, I believe we are all multi-storied beings who contain many parts-none of which are bad. Along the way, we collect stories-stories that others tell about us, stories we tell about ourselves, the story we tell about the problem, and stories we inherit from dominant knowledge or culture. These narratives shape our perception of ourselves and others and can influence relational connection and the way we relate to our own self, which often contributes to why one might seek out therapy.

Using feminist therapy and positive psychology modalities, I guide clients to challenge norms, embrace authenticity, and foster well-being.
My ideal client grapples with societal norms, especially around gender and sexuality. They may feel torn between societal expectations and their true selves. Seeking a safe space to explore and redefine their narrative, their goal is authenticity and navigating relationship complexities. They're drawn to a therapeutic space rooted in empowerment, social justice, and positive psychology, aiming for a transformative journey to question societal constructs and embrace a fulfilling life.

I draw from attachment and somatic focused approaches and enjoy working with creativity in narrative, feminist, IFS and relational cultural interventions.
When we experience hardship without community support, we learn to defend against emotions that would be simply too much to hold alone. I identify as a pansexual genderqueer woman and I honor therapy as a space where all of our identities are important. I work with the nervous system and show up as my real, genuine self. My clients typically come to therapy when their defenses hold them back from loving relationships or a fulfilling life.

Being a human is tough, isn’t it? You might be feeling lost, hurt, frustrated, sad, or anxious. You may be experiencing a life transition, loss of a loved one, low self-esteem, or postpartum difficulties. Or, you might not be entirely sure what led you to seek therapy—you just know you want to feel better. Having the courage to turn toward your pain and start healing is a remarkable step in embracing the messiness of life and finding your peace within it.

I summarize my style as a post-modern antiracist, decolonization, queer, feminist approach.
Sometimes, things happen, and we are forced to deal with things we never thought possible. At my core I identify as a trauma therapist, my goal for my clients is to find the root of what prevents us from living and being our most authentic selves. When we survive hardship, our body holds on to tools that got us through, even if they no longer serve us. Sometimes they are right for the situation, other times they can make things worse. Together, we will slow things down enough to find what works best for you and change reactions to responses.

I utilize tenets of narrative, emotionally focused, intersectional feminist, and liberation psychology practices.
As relational beings, the experience of feeling connected to our authentic self and that of others is essential to wellness. Investigating the multi-layered stories that are told about us, which often inform how we view ourselves, is critical to finding alternative ways of stepping into the power of our truths. Exploring, and interrogating, the messages that are intimately tied to culture, ancestry, and community can offer wisdom necessary in addressing problems in living folks experience. Whether seeking individual, relational, or family therapy, I believe the healing journey is inherently a collective one.

I am a licensed psychologist providing individual therapy to adults (18+). I have ample experience working with relationship concerns, anxiety, body image/eating disorders, gender & sexuality, women's issues, and life transitions. I utilize a trauma-informed and strengths-focused framework and show up as a therapist with cultural humility, compassion, curiosity, and humor. As a feminist therapist, I believe therapy is a collaborative process and I value receiving feedback from you and ensuring your voice is heard, respected, and empowered in our relationship.

I work through the lenses of Feminist and Person-Centered Therapies to emphasize power-sharing in the therapy room and establish a warm, positive, humor-filled environment to allow you to explore what's necessary for you to create change.
I believe that each of us is capable, sometimes with a little assistance, of making our own best decisions, and that each of us is responsible for our own path in life. This means that as a counselor, I work closely with my clients to decide on the best course of therapy. My work focuses on helping people free themselves from pain and the feeling of being "stuck" that keeps them from moving in a forward direction.

I am trained in person-centered counseling, and I am interested in feminist and depth counseling as well.
So often, therapy is seen as a tool used to cure someone; like healing a broken leg with physical therapy. In truth, my role is to support you, and help you understand and feel comfortable as your whole self. We work together to create a safe space where healing is possible. Life is challenging, and so often the strategies we use to handle those challenges can backfire, leading us feeling stranded and confused about our next steps. This is when you reach out to me. Together, we will work towards making you feel comfortable in your own identity.

Feminist Therapists
How does feminist therapy work?
Feminist therapy sessions are not only personal but often cultural or political in nature, as the approach is based on the belief that people are affected by, and often struggle with, cultural and societal norms and biases, and need to move beyond those external pressures or stressors to tap their own confidence and engage more fully in their own identity. Sessions may therefore include discussions of sexism, diversity, and gender issues and talk of steps toward greater empowerment for patients who believe they have been silenced and seek to raise their voices.
What are examples of feminist therapy techniques?
Along with traditional talk therapy and analysis, a feminist therapist may employ techniques such as role-playing and assertiveness training to help clients build their self-esteem so that they feel they can act freely, and not based on cultural expectations or gender roles dictated by others. A feminist therapist may also engage in bibliotherapy, offering suggested readings on gender identity or social power inequities as they work toward viewing mental-health concerns through a broad cultural lens before focusing on how they affect the individual. Somatic therapy techniques, with an emphasis on body awareness, self-compassion, and mindfulness practices are also often part of feminist therapist practice.
How long does feminist therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for feminist therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. It may take some time to become comfortable discussing personal issues, but once a client feels they can do so, they could expect therapy to last for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.
Does feminist therapy work?
As a relatively recent therapeutic technique, there is not yet a body of evidence proving the efficacy of feminist therapy. However, the approach is based on proven core principles of talk therapy, with a particular emphasis on developing a therapeutic relationship based on equality and authentic connection between therapist and client and discovering and building on clients’ personal strengths to help them gain a greater sense of personal power and agency.
