So often, we struggle within contrasts: the desire to be enough but not too much, feeling resentful yet guilty, to be productive but have ease, not care yet deeply care. These moments often culminate in self-blame, tangled by expectations and inhibitions, leading to disconnection from body, self, and others. But maybe it's the desire for stability while seeking growth, the need for space while craving connection, the push to be authentic while navigating norms, the aspiration to be self-reliant while lacking resources, the need to advocate while fearing repercussions, and the struggle to maintain hope amid persistent adversity.

I specialize in therapy with women to help them navigate self-esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma and life transitions.
Many of us have arrived at points in life where we feel alone and lost. Disappointments, losses and wounds leave us feeling that we are not enough, disconnected, hopeless and stuck. Whether life has brought new obstacles that feel impossible to cope with, or if you have past wounds that you don’t know how to heal from, I would be honored to be part of your journey. In our time together, I will work to help you finally find freedom from the lies that hold you back from living a meaningful, satisfying and connected life. You will find that I am empathetic, gentle and insightful, helping you feel safe and offering a new perspective.

Life is unexpected and sometimes we struggle with finding our path. My goal in therapy is to work with my clients on being comfortable with vulnerability. I believe that consciously choosing to not hide your emotions or desires from others is key to healing and growth. In therapy I learn about and help my clients use their unique strengths to help them resolve current conflicts. I am working on certification in perinatal care and menopause. My focus is primarily assisting women experiencing depression and anxiety, but I also take male clients.

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.
