The most important goal I have as a therapist is to offer a space for you to be listened to and feel safe and supported. From this place of comfort, we can begin therapy and move through therapeutic processes, and create goals to work on in our time together. Whether you would like to just talk and share your thoughts, or create specific goals such as anxiety reduction, increasing positive thought patterns and behaviors, improving overall wellness, or identifying specific wellness areas you would like to improve on, this time together is for you.

Life can often present us with challenges that leave us feeling not like ourselves. Many of us seek to deepen connections to feel a sense of peace, wellness, and fulfillment in our lives, but don't know where to begin. I offer a holistic approach to therapy using evidence based practices, somatic/body techniques, mindfulness/meditation, & family systems techniques within an attachment framework. If you are experiencing changes/transitions, have concerns about self-esteem and identity, or experience stress, anxiety, depression or trauma, let's work together to provide you a space to process your experiences and sense of relief.

Your life just isn’t what you expected or going how you want right now—it seems out of your control. You’re doing so much and it’s still not enough—putting on that brave face every day to show up to the grind. You should be more accomplished and feel more fulfilled, but instead, you’re struggling to find your place in the world. It seems like other people don’t get it, and you find yourself in repeated conflict with the ones you care about most. You can imagine how it could be different sometimes, but your self-critic is working on overdrive to stir up doubt and worries about the future. And you’re tired of it... probably exhausted.

Being a human can be really hard, and having an empathetic person to talk to can feel like a breath of fresh air. I support people process difficult experiences so they can find more resilience and ease in their daily life. I enjoy working with adults and adolescence who: want to explore their relationship to their body and food, have experienced trauma, are experiencing a life transition, identify as neuordivergent, and LGBTQIA+ folx. My approach to therapy is grounded in a holistic, trauma informed and gender affirming perspective, seeing the whole person in front of me, and the systems and socialization that has shaped them.

Therapy is a meeting of minds, hearts, and spirits between a person seeking and another person holding space. My practice focuses on working with people who have experienced childhood trauma (including abuse, neglect, bullying, medical complications, or a parent with a significant mental illness, etc) or trauma as an adult, chronic or ongoing medical complications, complicated grief, or after a recent loss, and existential or spiritual dilemmas.

You might be here because of a disconnect in your relationship, maybe emotionally, physically, or through communication. I work in the roots – where did it start, what are the patterns, what needs to be said, how can we work to hear it? I also work with practical skills – how can we start communicating more effectively? How can we take steps to feel more connected and safe with one another? I have a passion for those struggling with Chronic Pain, Grief, Trauma and Addiction. Again, I am very much skills-based as much as I am roots-based, so we will work to find deeper understanding and learning healthy ways to cope.

Important relationships in your life have become strained, or you experienced something difficult that you can't seem to find a place for in your mind. You might find yourself struggling with restlessness and irritability. It feels like you're putting on a happy face when you're really just drained, or you're exhausted from having arguments with your loved ones all the time.

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.
