I use an Emotion-Focused and Feminist approach to therapy.
If you feel overwhelmed by emotions, believe that the world is telling you to be someone other than yourself, or find yourself repeating patterns that don't work anymore, you are not alone. I specialize in working with anxiety, life transitions, interpersonal relationships, trauma, family issues, and identity development. In my work, I seek to discover how your relationships, feelings, labels, and constraints have impacted your life so that transformation can be authentic to you. I am here to collaborate with you, help you regain control, feel grounded, and become empowered.

My approach to counseling is feminist, multicultural, and trauma-informed.
As a queer woman of color, I have a unique perspective that helps me connect with clients from many different backgrounds. As a counselor, I know how comforting it can be to connect with someone who can understand your experiences— and how that type of connection can make you feel less alone. My goal is to provide a safe, flexible space tailored to your specific needs where you feel unconditionally embraced and understood as you work towards your goals.

My approach is scientifically grounded, trauma-informed, feminist, and multiculturally sensitive.
If there’s anything we can count on, it’s that we are constantly navigating what it means to adapt to the changes life brings our way. Some of this change is positive. Some of it is so painful. Some we have control over. And some is thrust upon us in the most unfair ways imaginable. Therapy is one of the few places dedicated to helping you adapt to your unique challenges- so you can uncover what you need in order to live with more daily satisfaction and joy. And if you are a busy person wearing many hats, teletherapy can be the easiest way to balance caring for yourself with your other responsibilities.

I care about your whole self, which is why I often incorporate nutrition and movement, multicultural, and feminist principles into my practice.
We all go through seasons where we feel bogged down, overwhelmed, and tired. This can leave us feeling misunderstood, unseen, or unheard. Prolonged struggles can affect our sense of self and impact relationships with our family and friends, making it difficult to get unstuck and move forward. In my practice, I partner with you as you navigate the difficulties that life has thrown your way. My training and lived experience helps me to remain informed as we consider your many different parts and the perspectives that come with them. My hope is to create a space where you feel safe to be your whole, authentic self as you heal.

My clients come from diverse backgrounds but all have one thing in common: they are bound by past traumas that continue to control their present day. My primary theoretical approach is one of interpersonal and holistic psychology that draws from acceptance and commitment therapy, psychodynamic, existential, feminist, and multicultural counseling work. I use meditative practice and applied mindfulness as well as a holistic trauma model to allow my clients to find peace within themselves while also equipping them with the skills needed to continue their personal growth after therapy is complete.

Experienced in working from a feminist lens with Black, Asian, Hispanic/Latinx, Indigenous/Native and women of diaspora, I help clients navigate self-doubt, burnout, and cultural stress.
You are enough. But it can feel hard to believe that when culture, family, society tells you otherwise. When you're told to be quiet and not take up space, you play small, mask, shape shift, and code switch. When you have to fight for a seat at any table, impostor syndrome and self-doubt set in. When you're shamed for your gender, sexuality, identity, or told your body is something to fix instead of love, self rejection, low self esteem and perfectionism shows up. It can feel damn near impossible to believe you are enough when you are faced with racism, misogyny, homophobia, ableism, anti-fatness and all the other "ists" and "isms".

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.
