We’ll explore this through somatic therapy, parts work, tapping, mindfulness, self-compassion and spirituality along with a feminist and cultural framework.
Does it feel like you wear a mask in everyday life? As if there’s a disconnect between your true self and what you show to others. Maybe you feel disconnected from yourself and uncertain what it even means to feel connected to your body and aligned with your soul. Do you want to be guided by your intuition but feel it’s clouded by fear and shame? Does a judgmental inner critic control most of your thoughts and you don’t know how to stop it? You have awareness that things need to change and now it’s exploring how to make these changes. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Mindfulness must be engaged. Once there is seeing, there must be acting."

In over 40 years of practice, I have found that a combination of talk therapy and energy work is the most effective way to achieve emotional stability. My holistic mind-body approach helps reduce stress by releasing unprocessed emotions in the nervous system. As you let go of "stuck" emotional patterns, symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma begin to disappear.

Trauma, stress, and burnout can contribute to depression, anxiety, and difficulty in our relationships with loved ones. Unhealthy attachment styles and avoidance tendencies only make things worse. So why do we react that way? People develop survival skills when they are used to living in crisis, but sometimes these skills turn into self sabotaging behaviors. Through therapy we will find ways to adapt your survival skills to healthier coping skills. You have had to be strong to make it to where you are now, and you should be proud of yourself for that! I hope to help you create a safe space where you can get the rest you deserve

Calling all people pleasers, workaholics, and overachievers! Have you ever felt like saying no or setting boundaries is akin to embarking on a journey up Mount Everest? The very idea of disappointing someone can halt you in your tracks. Your focus is like a laser beam, aimed at fulfilling the needs of others, leaving no room for your own desires. Yet, deep within, you're aware that this relentless pursuit isn't fulfilling. It's as if you're navigating through a dense fog, where the expectations of others obscure your own path. There's an undeniable yearning within you, a whisper of your own aspirations amidst the chaos.

In my experience most clients with relationship issues, social anxiety, depression, low self esteem and substance use issues have an underlying trauma they have yet to process. I use trauma informed interventions (EMDR,) CBT, AEDP, family systems and provide tools and exercises clients can do to maximize their therapeutic results. I also teach relaxation and coping skills during sessions.

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.
