We’re all going through challenges in life but we haven’t learned to navigate through everything. We might feel that others know exactly what to do while we struggle through it all. Our thoughts seem to have so much power over us and are stopping us from achieving the life we want. I’m here to listen to you about the interactions in your life that are bothering you, or the thoughts in your head that are not going away, or the feelings that are overwhelming and hard to understand. I’m here for us to talk through and work through things so that you can live presently and put your mind to things that make you feel alive.

Did you know that trauma is stored in your body and mind? And it can lead to many other symptoms that you may be seeking therapy for right now, such as depression, anxiety and stress. I love helping people learn more about this and get reconnected with themselves in order to process and heal trauma. I'm drawn to somatic (body-based) approaches as well as getting to know the different parts of yourself and learning to accept them all. I also have many years of experience providing neurodiversity-affirming therapy.

To understand the motivation between our thoughts and feelings, one must embrace the shadow beneath the light that we want to be shown. My ideal client wants to know themselves better than anyone else and is willing to work toward acceptance of themselves and others. They might have faced hardships that are rooted in issues of self esteem and self worth, or have faced external pressures that have taken a toll such as with maltreatment and abuse.

I believe people have the wisdom to heal themselves, but sometimes we need guidance to discover or effectively apply it. My goal is to help you build the skills and the courage to listen to your own voice and live the life you desire. Throughout the course of treatment, patients have many opportunities to practice actively focusing on positive change and living in the present; as well as develop healthier relationships with the past and future. I combine in-session work with creative, practical take-away exercises; encouraging patients to develop and apply the means to deal with future hardships long after treatment ends.

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.
