It can feel intimidating to take the time to connect with your mind and body. Between stress, having low self esteem, navigating transitions, and surviving trauma, the busyness of life can make personal healing and reflection feel difficult and intimidating. Taking time to seek support for yourself is powerful. As a trauma sensitive yoga teacher, I like to incorporate a blend of Western Interventions such as CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing, alongside holistic practices like breathwork, somatic practices, and meditation. My approach is warm, empathetic, anti-oppressive, strengths based, and culturally responsive.

Do you struggle with feeling good enough? Do you notice that no matter what you do or change about yourself that nagging shame voice never goes away? Or maybe you know you are good enough as you are, but don't always act on that knowledge and belief? I help adults like you get off the hamster wheel of self-criticism, shame, and judgment and start living a life full of empowerment, insight, and self-compassion. If you're tired of feeling like life is running you rather than the other way around, I am here to help. I practice through a social justice, HAES, and trauma-informed lens to make sure there is no part of you going unseen.

I provide a safe and comfortable space for clients and believe that the creative processes can be used in combination with other interventions including psychodynamic psychotherapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness - engaging in a collaborative approach to best serve the client. As an art therapist, I have witnessed clients who have been able to process and communicate through art in ways where words may not have done justice to their feelings and experiences. I also understand that art therapy might not be for all and can support clients who wish to engage in talk therapy without including creative interventions.

Seeking therapy is a courageous act of self love; it is a commitment to an understanding of self and others without judgment, an essential step toward growth, healing, and quality relationships. I provide psychotherapy to a diverse population of clients, specializing in areas such as survivors of trauma, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, anger, family issues, couples' issues, depression, chronic illness, and grief. My practice is rooted in principles of affirmation, intersectional justice, harm reduction, and embodiment and holds the position that social oppressions and systemic problems operate as barriers to wellness.

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.
