My treatments are feminist-, multicultural-, and liberation-informed and I am active in creating a non-judgmental, anti-racist, and decolonized therapy experience for clients with a variety of lived experiences and identities.
Looking to improve your sport/mental performance? Better understand your gender, sexuality, or relationship identity? Process a history of trauma? Our stories are our greatest power, and yet, can be difficult to share. I am a Clinical Sport Psychologist who encourages clients to tell their stories (yes, even the ugly stuff!) as accurately and meaningfully as possible to pave a path for moving forward. I equally recognize that not all mental health concerns are individually determined, and encourage clients to explore the impact of their social, intergenerational, and environmental histories and resources to promote healing/growth.

In my work with clients, I utilize modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Attachment Theory, Psychodynamic and Feminist theory.
I specialize in helping individuals who are experiencing the impacts of past traumas, relationship concerns & feel like they’re “never enough” to develop a greater sense of connection towards yourself, become more attuned to your needs, and gain skills to regulate your nervous system. Typically, I find myself working with clients who may consider themselves perfectionistic, high-achieving, and/or people-pleasing. I also enjoy working with individuals who are looking to heal from the impacts of attachment wounds, as well as concerns related to anxiety, depression, identity exploration, self-compassion & life transitions.

Hello, my name is Jodie and I’m a licensed therapist. I'm passionate about helping people heal and grow, bring joy into their lives, reach their goals and improve their relationships. I specialize in working with folks with anxiety, depression, bi-polar disorders, ADHD, ASD, OCD, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, women's and body-image issues, and LGBTQ+. I offer neurodiversity affirming care with a feminist lens. I help create a safe space to explore their inner thoughts, feelings, desires and fears, free of judgement. This helps my clients experience positive changes in their life as a result from their therapy experience.

I am an activist, feminist, size-neutral, and sex-positive human who is dedicated to smashing the patriarchal and heteronormative views of beauty, worth, and roles.
Healing can only happen by allowing your pain and your hopes to be witnessed. So many people suffer in silence, carry burdens of intergenerational trauma or being neurodivergent in a world not built for them, and have never REALLY been given the space to use their voice. If this describes you, you belong here. Part of my goal as your therapist is to help you find your voice again (or perhaps for the first time) and have the opportunity to be truly seen and heard. I will bring full presence, respect, and compassion to our work together to support you in moving toward the life you desire and deserve.

I tailor therapy according to your needs, but draw significantly from humanistic, emotion-focused, experiential, feminist, and interpersonal approaches.
Everyone wants to be themselves, to be “seen,” and to be valued for their uniqueness. We’re wired to need safe and affirming relationships and connection with others. When we’re struggling, it’s usually because something has gotten in the way of these things - not because we’re somehow "defective" or "flawed." I value authenticity, and strive to help clients feel and honor emotions that may seem “wrong" or unacceptable.

However, I often draw on person-centered, trauma focused, feminist, and narrative techniques as I am passionate about helping my clients recognize they are so much more than their struggles, while also empowering them to feel in control of their own life.
Being a human in today's world is extremely hard, but as Danielle Doby wrote "none of this was meant to be done alone." Seeking help is among the most brave and important things we can do for ourselves. I specialize in helping young adults and adults navigate struggles related to trauma or PTSD, depression, suicidal ideation, self-harm, life transitions and women's issues. We all experience hardship at some point in our lives, but I am here to walk with you through it, so you don't have to do it alone.

My primary therapy approach integrates interpersonal, feminist, compassion-focused, psychodynamic, and acceptance and commitment (ACT) therapies.
I conceptualize psychotherapy from a humanistic approach, which entails holistically understanding your background, identities, strengths, growth areas, interpersonal relationships, goals, values, etc. I strive to create a culturally sensitive, inclusive, and affirming space to facilitate growth and insights. This allows you to implement what you have gained in therapy in your everyday life. I specialize in trauma treatment and empowerment, identity exploration and integration, and working with folx from marginalized communities (i.e. LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, faith crisis/transition, immigrant/international background, etc. )

I work from a LGBTQIA+ affirmative, feminist, sex positive and asexual affirming approach, and use an eclectic blend of tools including EMDR, sex therapy, parts work, somatic and mindfulness practices.
If you find yourself wondering why you're feeling so raw and activated by things you don't think should be hitting so hard, it's worth exploring what's underneath. Often times, "if it's hysterical, it's historical". Over your lifetime, your brain has taken note on how the world works and how to adapt for survival. If you're someone who's impacted by trauma, the body has developed an extensive alarm system to keep you safe and stable. But you might be at the point where the strategies that worked in the past are no longer working and the alarms are too sensitive for your current life. You don't have to live like this anymore.

Life is MESSY. It's serving chaos, stress, and curveballs left and right. And unfortunately… the messiness is probably more common than “everything going like it should.” Still, you don’t have to navigate the mess alone. If you feel lost, overwhelmed, or have no idea what to do next— let me be a partner on your path. We can work on cultivating and increasing your access to the strengths you already have inside, but may not always know how to tap into right now. I do this work because I feel passionate about supporting people as they navigate challenging life circumstances and create a life that is authentically meaningful.

Deep connections sustain and heal the human spirit. When we are deeply connected to ourselves, our values, our story, and our inner workings, we can thrive. When we are genuinely connected to others, to family, and to community, we can flourish. Often, however, disconnection and fracture prevent the kind of thriving that might be possible. Through my therapeutic approach, I aim to work collaboratively with clients to explore both areas of disconnection and suffering, as well as opportunities for re-connection, for the deepening of current connections, and for lasting change.

I truly believe that each client is the absolute expert on themselves and strive always to create space for clients to feel, be, and show up as their authentic selves.

We all experience some combination of painful experiences and traumas just by making our way through life, and these experiences can lead you to construct a story of yourself that is anything but empowering. My goal is to mirror your strengths and your worth back to you— to remind you of the truth, despite what your parents, partners, friends, church, and society have told you. Through a creative, holistic blend of art and talk therapy, I support my clients (individuals, families and couples) to integrate mind, body and spirit in service of deeper healing, connection, and personal + collective growth.

I am passionate about the ability therapy has to change lives for the better - how it helps people heal and build authentic, real relationships. I believe in empathy, vulnerability, authenticity, and trying to stay in the present moment. I am both creative and analytical and am excited when therapy is referred to as "a science and an art.” I believe in exploring the mind-body connection, especially the impact of breathwork in dealing with anxiety and stress. I love the power of understanding ourselves and how our minds work to create change. I work particularly well with anxiety, perfectionism & religious injury to name a few.

I am delighted to give folks the opportunity to meet their most confident, competent selves and to find joy in the journey of doing so. Whether that means healing from trauma, navigating systemic challenges, or learning how to get out of your own way— I believe you deserve to live authentically, richly, and joyfully. I also acknowledge that each of us exists within larger systems (some of which may be inherently unjust or broken) and that building such a life often requires you to find belongingness and support both from within and from without.

In therapy with me you'll learn the language of your nervous system to become your own best medicine & healer. Life is too short to be anyone but yourself, and if you're not experiencing your life the way you'd like to… we can change that. As an anxiety specialist, I can tell you that you don't have to feel so stuck & unfulfilled. Happy lives & relationships aren't just what happen to other people. You know that wise inner voice of yours? The one quietly telling you that things don't have to be this way? That's a voice that we'll work to amplify in our work together with high compassion, low B.S.

Feminist Therapists
How does feminist therapy work?
Feminist therapy sessions are not only personal but often cultural or political in nature, as the approach is based on the belief that people are affected by, and often struggle with, cultural and societal norms and biases, and need to move beyond those external pressures or stressors to tap their own confidence and engage more fully in their own identity. Sessions may therefore include discussions of sexism, diversity, and gender issues and talk of steps toward greater empowerment for patients who believe they have been silenced and seek to raise their voices.
What are examples of feminist therapy techniques?
Along with traditional talk therapy and analysis, a feminist therapist may employ techniques such as role-playing and assertiveness training to help clients build their self-esteem so that they feel they can act freely, and not based on cultural expectations or gender roles dictated by others. A feminist therapist may also engage in bibliotherapy, offering suggested readings on gender identity or social power inequities as they work toward viewing mental-health concerns through a broad cultural lens before focusing on how they affect the individual. Somatic therapy techniques, with an emphasis on body awareness, self-compassion, and mindfulness practices are also often part of feminist therapist practice.
How long does feminist therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for feminist therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. It may take some time to become comfortable discussing personal issues, but once a client feels they can do so, they could expect therapy to last for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.
Does feminist therapy work?
As a relatively recent therapeutic technique, there is not yet a body of evidence proving the efficacy of feminist therapy. However, the approach is based on proven core principles of talk therapy, with a particular emphasis on developing a therapeutic relationship based on equality and authentic connection between therapist and client and discovering and building on clients’ personal strengths to help them gain a greater sense of personal power and agency.
