Hello, my fellow human! I know how difficult it can be to find a therapist that you CONNECT with, that sees YOU, and VALUES your experience in this crazy thing we call life! No matter your level of distress it takes courage to reach out and begin to heal. I’m so proud of you! Living with complicated emotions and experiences can often leave us feeling stuck or defective in some way but this couldn’t be further from the truth. YOU are not your experiences and you deserve more.

I help people who have survived painful life experiences to finally break free from the toxic residues of their pasts. My clients come to me locked within cycles of flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, addiction, regret, anger, and/or shame and also deal with chronic self-esteem problems. In some cases, they may even feel their identity has been shattered or they have a fragmented sense of who they now are. Clients leave treatment with me feeling empowered, resilient, healthy and whole. They have a new lease on life because what they have been through is reprocessed and becomes strengths and proof of how amazing they really are.

Jungian analytic work understands that life is unpredictable. Everyone struggles at some point in life. Sometimes the accompanying suffering tears at the very fabric of our understanding of ourselves and how we fit in the world. Life no longer makes sense. Life is not the way you thought it would be or should be. Unbidden desires, anxieties or depression come in to interfere with your ability to live the life you want. Others in your life behave in ways that disrupt your peace of mind and ability to live a meaningful life. Issues you thought you had dealt with long ago resurface in the present.

You were always told that education, hard work, dedication, and grit would get you where you needed to be. Instead of feeling like you “have it all”, you feel numb and exhausted. It feels like you have a very short fuse these days and are likely to snap at any little thing. You end each workday feeling drained, and simply unable to show up for your friends and family. It seems like you’re giving all of your energy to things and people that aren’t really important to you. In your extensive list of tasks and constant stimuli, it’s hard to take a step back and assess ways you can reclaim control in your life. But what if you could?

As an experienced therapist for young adults and women, I believe that we are under an unbelievable amount of pressure.
You want to feel authentic and empowered, but you are struggling to calm insecurities and negative self-talk. You may be fed up with the constant overthinking, imposter syndrome, or that you just can’t let things go. You might even be jealous of those who seem to have it all. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to understand why this is happening. You are ready to feel confident and assertive in your life. Most of all, you’re ready to feel unbothered and happy with yourself.

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.
