Does it seem like everyone around you has it all together while you’re barely keeping your head above water? Does it seem as though your thoughts have been filled with unstoppable worry and maybe they've even begun to tell you lies that you’re beginning to believe. Perhaps it feels that no matter how much you’ve tried to erase ‘it’ from your mind, it keeps coming up and interrupting your life – making it hard to trust, to feel, to focus, to dream, to enjoy life. You wish for a day where you are free from it all and you want a therapist who understands and can help you heal from deep within. I just might be your therapist...

We all need a little help and a new perspective sometimes. Issues like trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, relationship concerns, self-worth, disordered eating, and grief are hard to navigate on our own sometimes. My job is not to tell you what to do or what you want to hear. Instead, I aim to create a compassionate and collaborative space to explore unresolved traumatic experiences that are negatively impacting you and excavate problematic patterns - while identifying solutions to current problems, fostering your resilience, and unearthing your potential.

With my guidance, the young women and moms that work with me develop a deep well of confidence and self-trust so they can break cycles that have not been working for them, build the life they want, and be the person they want to be for themselves and the people they love.
You want to love your life, but it doesn’t look the way you expected it to. Deep down you are struggling and you want help figuring it all out. The shadow side of life that we keep to ourselves is oftentimes fringed with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, comparison, lack of direction, fear, low self-esteem, and self-criticism. These are all protective mechanisms that your mind developed to keep you safe and functional as you were growing up to help you navigate your life and relationships. Now, as an adult, these protective mechanisms may be doing more harm than good for you.

Life transitions, particularly those related to anxiety, trauma, divorce, and navigating co-parenting can be difficult. Maybe you don’t currently have the coping skills to manage what can be a trying and traumatizing time. Challenges like navigating young adulthood, managing anxiety, maintaining a healthy relationship, or choosing to end a relationship can be difficult and riddled with uncertainty. I can personally recall how helpful and reassuring it was to have someone in my life help me by providing direct feedback and compassionate support as I navigated these challenges.

Many of my clients have learned that their experiences can be described as "trauma", and that trauma is often "stored in the body." These experiences can range from major life events, to buildup of chronic stress, to difficult relationships from the past. My clients often are curious how their early life, attachment with caregivers, or past relationships have affected them. Somatic and relational therapy can help to heal traumas of all kinds that are carried in our bodies and minds. My collaborative and flexible approach means that you have a voice in how we work on things together, and we go at a pace that works best for you.

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.
