Emotional Intelligence, I suggest to you this is the powerful era that we humans are experiencing, whereby we are exploring and discovering more and more, how our brains and our bodies work. We are learning how to harness our potential, how to understand the influences of our education and socialization and how it has shaped, restricted our thinking, our choices. I believe, it is when we become curious, when we ask the questions, how did I become the way I am? how did I develop my beliefs about the world? Asking such questions gives us permission to explore our deeply held beliefs and understanding, liberating our future choices.

I have been providing individual therapy to children, adolescents and adults for many years. I focus on helping clients with anxiety, depression and those living through traumatic experiences. I believe we all deserve to not only survive, but thrive. Living the life we deserve may look different for everyone. For some this may mean alleviating symptoms of anxiety, depression or other mental health concerns. For others it may mean better understanding how negative thoughts patterns can hinder daily living.

My intention is to create a collaborative environment to support clients to reconnect to their heart’s desire as we address obstacles that might be in the way. With a focus on developmental trauma, the client works on discovering new ways of relating to themselves and their environment.

I specialize in working with Queer, Gender Non-Conforming Individuals and Women as well as people in relationships. People come, or come back, to therapy for lots of reasons. You might be experiencing a crisis or maybe you've identified a behavior that isn't working anymore. Perhaps you only know that you feel awful and need something to change. You might even be doing okay but have the desire to show up to life in a more open and whole hearted way. Therapy can help.

Clients that want to make changes in their lives but are unsure or frightened of how to do so. I can help you set and reach goals for the future with encouragement, guidance and support. Part of this is understanding why and how you find yourself here. People who struggle with self esteem issues, learning to make healthy choices in their lives. It’s thrilling to watch a person find their voice, and feel good about themselves. People who struggle with addiction and alcoholism and understanding where those issues began, with sobriety. There is no shame in addiction or alcoholism in my practice.

I work using an anti-oppressive and trauma informed perspective with a focus on trauma, gender, sexuality, life transitions, feeling stuck, coming out later in life, and navigating relationships. I believe mindful attention to the physical experience can provide insight and space for empathy, when words are hard to conjure. I’m passionate about helping people connect with their body and discover ways to honor their authentic selves. I specialize in working with BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and TGNC/NB communities.

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.
