As someone who has experienced past sexual / physical abuse, or chronic illness, do you often wonder how you can move past the overwhelming shame and pain? Have you tried “everything” but nothing seems to alleviate the flashbacks or unwanted memories. Do you want to stop dissociating? Do you long be free of anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts; longing for connection, worthiness, and to tell your story with a safe, non-judgmental person. Are you willing to examine thoughts, emotions, behaviors and learn how to utilize your whole self, develop shame resilience—transforming the way you live & love in your current relationships?

I like to create a welcoming environment to promote healing and allow clients to process the issues that brought them to therapy. Life can be overwhelming or frustrating as we navigate the changes and challenges that come along. Therapy is an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of our internal experiences, our relationships with other people and how we see ourselves in the world. Letting go of past events that still affect us can allow us the freedom to be more present to explore our values and live a rich, rewarding life. The client/therapist Relationship will be the foundation for the work that we do together.

Do you feel the pain of grief, disconnect, or relational strain? Maybe your relationship with yourself needs tending. My clients have taught me that our struggles make sense in context! At the same time, you don't have to remain "stuck" there in the struggle. Together, we will take a systemic and holistic view, where we put the pieces together to make shifts to help you thrive. I don't believe in "therapist talk" and try to learn how you experience the world so I can help you develop new ways of being with yourself, with others, with the people and things that matter most and give your life meaning.

Being human means that we struggle and need support at various times in our lives. You may feel overwhelmed, angry, hopeless or confused. You are likely seeking to feel more balanced and in control. Sharing our experiences allows us to understand ourselves more deeply, unburden negative beliefs, and access internal resources, all in an effort to shift patterns and create meaningful change. I believe in the strength that comes from being vulnerable, and I am committed to offering kindness, compassion, curiosity, and at times, a sense of humor about life, as we enter this partnership together.

Hello! Reaching out can be hard. I am glad that you have decided to take the first step in improving the quality of your life. Therapy does not mean you are broken. Rather, it suggests that you have encountered one of life’s challenges and would like some help with clarification of the problem, understanding what is needed, and learning some new skills to help you handle it. Everyone has a unique story and one-size treatment does not fit all. When you come to therapy, I will listen to you, collaborate with you, challenge you and support you in reaching your goals.

Are you living with depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, lack of direction, trauma? I believe that we naturally feel a call to live meaningful, loving lives and know intuitively that this is our best path but we often will feel stuck, unsure, fearful and so take no action. Existential therapy calls this a restricted existence and believes the goal of all therapy is to remove the road blocks that are limiting you from moving toward living your best life.

Healing isn’t linear—it’s an evolving journey. As we navigate life’s twists, sometimes we need to heal the same wounds in deeper ways. I work with women who are ready to explore the layers of their inner child, untangle the stories they've carried, and reclaim their authenticity. Whether you're a highly sensitive person, artist, healer, or someone familiar with the therapeutic process, I offer a creative, compassionate space to reconnect with the parts of you that have been silenced. Together, through Narrative therapy, Internal Family Systems, and expressive arts, we’ll rewrite your story and invite healing at your own pace.

Lemon (therapy assistant pictured in photo) and I are accepting new clients in 2024! I’m not your typical talk-therapist. I am dynamic in the sense that I’ve been trained in many different evidenced-based models, theories, and techniques, but the therapy that I provide derives from what is needed most by the client sitting in front of me. I’m fun, energetic and real. I don’t mind being direct when necessary, and I think it’s okay to sometimes disclose information about myself;after all, the passion and interest that I have for helping others is directly related to my lived experience of trying to ground myself in an unsettled 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.
