Trauma leaves us feeling broken and disconnected from who we truly are. You may be fed up with feeling lonely, worthless, or even unlovable. You may not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for certain: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to begin understanding the root of these feelings. You’re ready to cultivate deeper self-trust and authenticity. Most of all, you’re ready to return home to yourself.

Waitlist for new clients
Life has a way of making us revisit certain issues and patterns, and in doing so we are invited to journey towards the core. This can a process that is messy, but powerful. Often, the things that we’re struggling with are interrelated and dependent on other parts of our life, some of which are hidden outside of our awareness. In our work together, we will address you, as a whole person, through an approach rooted in mindfulness, holistic wellness, and real, authentic human connection. My clients have described my approach as one that is authentic, compassionate, honest, and at times, silly.

As a cisgender, queer, able-bodied, white woman with ADHD, I have the honor and privilege to work with all human beings.
Acceptance might be the first step to change, but change is hard. I aim to create a supportive, holistic, empowering, and safe setting to process and understand what is specifically challenging for you. Often, my clients feel like they “don’t belong,” stuck in unwanted behaviors or looking to understand themselves better. I believe by attuning compassionately to our bodies and minds, as well as each other, we can sense what needs to change and heal. Also, I consider myself a very real person in the therapy space, which often includes understanding, laughter, radical acceptance, forgiveness, and open and honest communication.

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.
