These have been difficult times and many have felt the need for counsel to deal with concerns shared by all of us. At the same time, every therapy client is a unique individual and deserves care and concern for this. Problems in living can be lessened using "here and now" techniques such as CBT, and focusing on present concerns. They can also be alleviated by looking to the past to find where some issues had their beginning. Sometimes looking at both the present and the past is helpful moving toward goals. Either can help, and sometimes a combination is effective.

Welcome to my practice. I work with a wide range of people, from those looking to make subtle shifts and build insight to those struggling to manage profound, chronic suffering. I will help you explore the impact of your past and present on your health and well-being and learn how to connect deeply with your self, your body, with others, and with the world around you. My approach is heavily relational, geared towards healing attachment wounds, as well as somatic, centering the body and nervous system - both of which have carried so much burden but are often minimized in therapies that rely exclusively on talk and cognitive process.

Life happens and sometimes a lot of life is happening all at once. From relationship struggles, family planning/TTC/postpartum/Parenthood, career changes, navigating life transitions, gender & sexuality, family stressors, trauma, living through a global pandemic and the aftermath. It makes sense if you are feeling anxious, sad, unsure, lost, and overwhelmed. If any of these resonates with you, it’s time to prioritize your mental and emotional health.

Are you worried that a therapist won’t “get” you? Do you identify with an alternative lifestyle or spiritual belief? Maybe you are an empath or spiritual medium, or maybe you are in a BDSM, Polyamorous, or open relationship. You want to find a therapist who will help you feel more connected, peaceful and connected to your community but worry that you will be judged for your beliefs or lifestyle. Maybe your values conflict with societal norms or ideals, and you want a therapist to help you figure out where everything fits. You’re ready for change, but you need the right provider to help you do it.

I believe that the success of therapy is based on the strength of the relationships. I try to create a safe space free of judgement that can allow for that relationship to grow. My hope is that I can help individuals and families explore their understanding and meaning of the problems that they experience. I also hope to give more voice to the values and strengths that run counter to those problems and closer to the preferred path of families and individuals.

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.
