Living though a global pandemic, experiencing anxiety in relationships with others, surviving childhood trauma, or feeling lower than you have ever felt can be overwhelming (to say the least). When you prioritize your mental health, you can explore what makes you who you are and who you’d like to be. I understand mental health care in our society, and many cultures, holds stigma. Taking time out of your schedule may seem beyond difficult. If you are curious about therapy, I encourage you to give it a try. If you are a veteran of therapy, I encourage you to continue.

I provide individual therapy based on social justice, sex-positive, and Covid-conscious values. I'm most passionate about working with clients on interpersonal relationships, self-esteem/self-image, sexuality, gender, finding meaning/purpose in life, and harm caused by systemic oppression/marginalization. Unfortunately, I'm not able to offer skilled therapy for substance use, disordered eating, ADHD, OCD, or psychosis. I have a chronic illness, so I work best with clients who can be flexible with their availability as I sometimes need to reschedule for health reasons.

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.
