I am honored to work with clients who feel stuck, have anxious & overwhelmed thoughts, are mentally, emotionally, & physically exhausted, and in need of hope and healing! Many come from helping professions, are creatives, empaths/HSP, spiritually seeking, or in a season of transition such as college, mid-life, or empty nest and are wanting support along the way. These clients desire a safe place to discover their true voice, process grief, or find a new path forward. I believe every person already has the gifts, tools, and resilience within, yet may need a pioneer to help mine, make meaning, and empower toward lasting change.

I have a heart for women of all ages who want to understand themselves in a new way and (re)discover their voice - whether it's been lost, misunderstood, ignored, or silenced.
You're here. You've taken the first step. And it's a big one. It's a brave one. The pain of broken relationships, life-transitions, loneliness, or feelings of unworthiness can cause us to forgot who (and sometimes, why) we are. Therapy is a tool that can help you change your life, build confidence, and live a life you long for and deserve. I believe in the process because I’ve seen it work - being in a safe space with someone you can tell your vulnerable story to is transformative. With empathy at the heart of my practice, my mission is to understand where you are to help you land in the place you want to be. On your terms.

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.
