In order to grow and thrive in life, we all need a sense of feeling understood and enlivened within ourselves, in relationships and in community. I offer a present-centered approach for individual adults, parents, and families who seek to make change, heal from past trauma, move and transform through grief and loss, and improve interpersonal skills.

I believe in counseling as a dynamic partnership that's highly effective in helping us find insight, acceptance, and change so that we can create lasting fulfillment and meaning in our lives. I work with clients who are curious about themselves and who are up for the challenge of taking on meaningful growth. If you're feeling stuck in ineffective patterns, overwhelmed by anxiety and depression, or dissatisfied in an important relationship, let's connect.

I love working with individuals who are interested in processing emotions and healing from the past to find freedom and authenticity now. I work primarily from a person-centered and anti-oppressive framework. This means I focus on active listening, compassion, and genuine regard for you as we collaborate in processing and creating meaning from your emotions, experiences, and thoughts. I believe we cannot not ignore the impact of systemic and structural systems of inequality in race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability on our mental health and welcome conversation regarding your experiences surrounding these issues.

“Our emotions are an essential part of who we are. They make life worthwhile, exciting, challenging, beautiful and meaningful” - Gabor Mate. Our emotional experience is one that is unique to each of us and can at times be difficult to navigate. For many people, it can bring comfort to have someone hold space for them during this process, and I am happy to be that person. I approach counseling from a more humanistic perspective which includes processes such as Emotion Focused, Person Centered, and Narrative Therapy. This means that your lived experience and our counseling relationship will be the foundation of our work together.

Soul School comes from the belief that as humans, we come with lessons to learn in this lifetime. Change can be terrifying to face. We don't have to do it alone. It takes courage to be here and taking steps towards receiving support in your healing. I work primarily with those who are willing to dive deep and are curious and motivated for change. Folks who may already have some insight or awareness, but are in need of a non-judgmental safe space to discuss it all and receive support in organizing their internal world to create a sense of understanding, peace, and alignment with their true selves.

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.
