Did you know that perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are the most common complication of childbirth? I believe that the journey of becoming a parent is both joyful and challenging. Many of us are also dealing with added stressors like sensory and information overload, not enough support, hormone changes, fussy babies, unsolicited advice, work-life balance, symptoms of depression or anxiety, and more.

Life is full of traumatic events and we all have been traumatized to a certain degree. We are the only ones who can define it and we are all impacted differently by it. For many of us, our trauma negatively impacts our beliefs about ourselves and our worth. Having a negative core belief system often leads to substance abuse and other maladaptive behavior as a means to numb our pain and drown our shame. I have spent years working with individuals who struggle with substance use and addiction and have come to learn that the majority of them have suffered from trauma. You do not have to continue to suffer. I am here to help.

I believe that each individual is the expert on their own life and that every person’s lived experience is valuable. I want to provide a safe and inclusive space for people to define and work toward what they determine is a full, beautiful life for themselves. I also believe that there are systemic issues in our society that contribute to mental health and other struggles. Therapy is not a fix for these issues but can help build coping skills while we do work in the outside world to dismantle systems of oppression and inequality.

Although life can be confusing, difficult, and overwhelming, I believe no person is broken; but rather maneuvering the journey of the human experience. Each individual is capable of growth but may need some support and guidance along the way. While pursuing my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Social Psychology from Ball State University, I gained experience in a practicum clinic and hospital setting, working with those experiencing difficulties with grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships.

The people I work with tend to be navigating life changes and transitions, exploring identity concerns and/or neurodiversity, as well as seeking ways to manage their emotions. Curiosity, openness to new perspectives, and motivation to take action are welcomed. Transition can mean many things: entering the workforce, going to school, beginning/ending a relationship, gender, existential concerns, learning how to "adult" and so much more. I enjoy helping people learn more about themselves and building skills. This helps us know how to take care of ourselves and give us ideas of what to do when life gets messy.

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.
