Waitlist for new clients
My passion is to help you uproot your trauma rather than just treat symptoms (which can often feel unhelpful and frustrating long-term). I frequently work with complex trauma/complex PTSD, insecure attachment patterns, LGBTQIA+ identities, ADHD, and Autism. Clients often come to me feeling "stuck", deeply misunderstood, repeating painful patterns, having had negative therapy experiences in the past, feeling like "nothing works", and have a history of intellectualizing their feelings. It is my goal to help you work through your trauma, navigate your identity, and feel more present and safe in your every day life.

You can feel the tingly, anxious energy in your body and hear the non-stop, racing thoughts in your mind. All of it is screaming to come out but you're paralyzed with indecision and fear. It's like that opossum meme, just a constant "AHHH". You're stuck deep in the hole of your own mind with no escape in sight. And yet, even with the constant screaming, you somehow still feel empty and alone. Or maybe you just feel different from those around you. Like everyone got the memo on how to "live life right" but you. It all feels pointless and annoying... but you still want to know why people think life is worth living.

Do you feel that life hasn't turned out as planned? Maybe you have achieved big goals, yet you can't shake off a sense of inadequacy. You wish that you weren't so tense or irritable, and that you can stop the negative thoughts from going around and around in your mind. Logically, you know that no one is perfect, but emotionally, you don't believe that you or anyone else can fully accept your flaws. Perhaps you find yourself asking silently: "When is it my turn to feel at peace and truly happy?"

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.
