The stories we remember and tell about our lives inform who we are and who we want to be. It is a privilege to hold space for the stories my clients tell as we work together to find meaning and purpose within them. I utilize an eclectic combination of techniques including CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, and solution-focused therapy to help my clients through the hardships of being human. If you are struggling to communicate with your partner, are having difficulty managing your anxiety, or are generally feeling overwhelmed by life's many changes and demands, then you are in the right place.

As a somatic-based psychotherapist, I often work at the intersection of physical and emotional suffering. Seeking a deeper understanding of oneself and overall well-being, body-centered psychotherapy offers an experiential and transformative journey rooted in applied mindfulness and body awareness. Recognizing the profound connection between mind and body, I work to provide a nurturing space for individuals to explore and slowly shift their attention to their most valued resource - their capacity to sense, identify, and respond to their body's cues.

Life can quickly become stressful and overwhelming, especially when we are giving so much of ourselves to others. You feel tired of the way things are, or overwhelmed by the reality of what's on your plate. Is it time for you to offer yourself some of the time and attention you so graciously give to others? Maybe you have specific goals in mind, or perhaps you don't quite know what it is, but you know you want to feel differently. I offer a safe and reliable space to share and heal from past and current stressors in life and to grow into the version of yourself you'd most like to be.

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.
