I offer a safe gender affirming, body acceptance, feminist, and multicultural approach in therapy that focuses on the whole person. Humanistic (whole person) psychology often refers to a therapy modality that emphasizes focus on the entire scope of the individual supporting clients in achieving a deeper understanding and connection with their true self. My ultimate goal is for the client to feel seen and heard through an empathetic, safe, and unbiased environment.

My primary areas of interest include women’s issues, working professionals, and adolescents, with specialization in substance abuse, and trauma.
My ideal client is one who is established in their life and community, yet they are unhappy and feel stagnant or stuck. They may struggle in their professional career or feel unfulfilled in the workplace. They may be socially isolated or do not connect well with people their age. This individual, on the outside, appears to have it all, but they are not satisfied with their life. This individual may have untreated depression and/or anxiety. They may have come from a family of dysfunction and managed to get away from it. They need someone to assist them in examining this and determine what they want out of life.

My approach to wellness is holistic and considers not just what may be happening in your own life but how the relationships with those you love and others around may be impacting you. Even when working with individuals, I believe it’s important to understand the impact of the interactions between you and others. During my career as a therapist, I have worked with people in many different circumstances: couples seeking premarital or relationship counseling, medical patients experiencing chronic pain or illness, families of adolescents in the juvenile justice system, and people seeking personal growth, or empowerment.

Any of these words stand out to you? Anxiety, addiction, stress, drained, pressure to perform, executive, perfectionist, identity, transition, exploration, instability OR overwhelm. Maybe you are a “go getter” in your career or school. Maybe you're seeking clarity about identity or you're in a place of transition. Are you losing sight of who you are from your work or from societal norms? People can place so much demand on themselves to excel or fit into a box within society that someone can ignore their own wellness. Let’s find YOU, whether you feel like you have lost who you are or feel like you have never truly found yourself.

I enjoy working with women who tend to be both reflective & self-critical while constantly feeling the need to prove themselves.
Our teens, twenties & thirties are transitional years of growth, clarity, & exploration. My work focuses on empowering motivated college aged & young adult women as they identify who they are, what is important to them, and how to live a life where they feel fulfilled, connected, and energized. These formative years can feel equally scary and exciting, especially when you throw in some stress & anxiety, relational challenges, and/or eating disorders & body image distress. The great news though, is that you don't have to figure it out alone! I also have a personal passion for supporting equestrians with their mental health needs.

I specialize in supporting teenagers and adults who have recently faced sexual assault and/or relationship abuse (emotional and verbal). Many of my clients feel lost, emotionally overwhelmed, and struggle with understanding how their identities have been changed. They often experience a sense of isolation from their usual support networks and find it challenging to access joy and relaxation in their lives. Additionally, they may have developed a fear of men or relationships in general, making it difficult for them to feel connected and safe in their own bodies.

Are you going through a life change or transition and feel lost? Or maybe you just don't feel like yourself right now? Reaching out for help can be difficult and in my experience, no human being can navigate these seasons of life alone. I am passionate about working with preteens, teenagers, young adults, and adults who are going through significant life changes and/or feeling that they would like to cultivate a more evolved version of themselves.

I believe we all have the potential to grow through challenges. Rather than living in distress, we can find ways to ease through the difficulties of life. Through my work with cancer patients, I developed a therapeutic framework based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients with various issues move from distress toward peace. In addition, I understand that one size does not fit all, so I use an integrative approach that draws from several disciplines.

My joy is supporting others in coming back to themselves and ultimately to their connection with others and with the divine. Whether exploring the patterns developed during our conception, birth or early life, or connecting with the body’s wisdom, there is a way we can be with what is happening that allows us to integrate what is most essential. Slowing down, finding your rhythm, tuning in to what you are needing and wanting for yourself, being curious…some sessions are deeply restorative, some profound or surprising, some simply provide the necessary structure for living fully in this 3-D world.

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.
