I can offer skills, a new perspective, and empower you to take control of your life again.

I assist my clients through various modalities of treatment including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, feminist based therapy, strength-based therapy, trauma informed care and more.
In therapy, client and therapist rapport is the most essential building block in my client's success. I strive to make each and every client as comfortable and safe as possible on their own journey. A safe space is important for recognizing and understanding my client's needs emphasizing empathy, compassion and self-worth. My clients learn to challenge themselves while adopting the skills to maintain motivation and dignity. I assist my clients to rely on the skills they already possess, tapping into their own unique stories to provide them the growth that they seek through kindness with a touch of humor. :)

Everyone struggles sometimes, but there are times when we need help to get through those struggles and therapy is a really good way to do just that! Some of the struggles that people come to talk to me about include procrastination, lack of motivation, worry, and difficulty enjoying life in general. If you find that things just don’t seem to be working out the way they “used to” or maybe you’ve just never quite gotten the hang of things, let’s see if we can’t figure out what’s going on and discuss how to get your life going in a different direction.

Being seen and valued for who we truly are, particularly in a space free of judgment, bias, and pretense, is an incredible feeling. When we feel safe to be ourselves, peace and healing naturally follow. From there, we can blossom, grow, and thrive! It often takes that feeling of safety and security for the truest parts of ourselves to be free to emerge. The essence of therapy lies in the therapeutic relationship and the sense of safety that comes with it. Knowing that you are in a space where your confidence is kept, your story is protected, and your whole person is viewed with loving kindness allows for growth.

Feminist Therapists
How does feminist therapy work?
Feminist therapy sessions are not only personal but often cultural or political in nature, as the approach is based on the belief that people are affected by, and often struggle with, cultural and societal norms and biases, and need to move beyond those external pressures or stressors to tap their own confidence and engage more fully in their own identity. Sessions may therefore include discussions of sexism, diversity, and gender issues and talk of steps toward greater empowerment for patients who believe they have been silenced and seek to raise their voices.
What are examples of feminist therapy techniques?
Along with traditional talk therapy and analysis, a feminist therapist may employ techniques such as role-playing and assertiveness training to help clients build their self-esteem so that they feel they can act freely, and not based on cultural expectations or gender roles dictated by others. A feminist therapist may also engage in bibliotherapy, offering suggested readings on gender identity or social power inequities as they work toward viewing mental-health concerns through a broad cultural lens before focusing on how they affect the individual. Somatic therapy techniques, with an emphasis on body awareness, self-compassion, and mindfulness practices are also often part of feminist therapist practice.
How long does feminist therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for feminist therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. It may take some time to become comfortable discussing personal issues, but once a client feels they can do so, they could expect therapy to last for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.
Does feminist therapy work?
As a relatively recent therapeutic technique, there is not yet a body of evidence proving the efficacy of feminist therapy. However, the approach is based on proven core principles of talk therapy, with a particular emphasis on developing a therapeutic relationship based on equality and authentic connection between therapist and client and discovering and building on clients’ personal strengths to help them gain a greater sense of personal power and agency.
