The therapeutic relationship is the key to change, so I aim to develop trust and comfort as we begin this journey. Therapy is YOUR time, so we'll discuss whatever's most helpful to you each week!

I work with a variety of clients from toddlers through young adults. For young children who have experienced or witnessed trauma, I work with the child and the caregiver together using Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), a trauma-informed modality.

My passion is supporting women in the journey to find peace and self-compassion in a life that offers too much chaos and noise.
Women often get caught up in the thought that if their body meets certain criteria then life will get better. Hypervigilance of your body, increased awareness of how much or how little you're eating, dieting, exercising … It’s a vicious cycle that can lead to some very dark places. Therapy can help you move beyond. Healing from an eating disorder is possible. Recovery is possible and we can work together to find a better way. If you’re ready for change, all you need to do is show up. Be yourself.

My areas of experience/interest include trauma, women’s issues, depression, anxiety, self-esteem and empowerment, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
I am passionate about the work that I do and realize that reaching out and asking for help can be one of the most challenging aspects of starting the therapy process. We all have strengths, yet sometimes we need guidance to identify what they are and how they help us to move through difficult challenges we face. I draw upon several theoretical frameworks which include trauma-informed care, strength-based, solution-focused, narrative therapy, and systems practices. However, I prefer to relate on a human level and focus on building meaningful relationships where true compassion and understanding can lead to meaningful transformations.

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.
