More than anything we want to be loved, accepted and have meaningful relationships. Having people we can rely on, trust and enjoy life with gives us joy, purpose and the support we need to be ourselves and get through life's challenges. Finding and having meaningful relationships, however, can be challenging. Whether you are ending a relationship, starting a new one or have been hurt by someone you are close to, it can be scary to deal with the pain, start over or know how to be yourself. In some cases, we may even feel lost, need help healing, coping or rediscovering what makes us us and what makes us happy.

Most of my clients come to me stressed out, overworked, depleted, trying to please too many people, or trying to be what others want them to be, leaving them sad, lonely, angry, resentful, and unfulfilled. They have trouble focusing, completing tasks and are perfectionistic. They ask themselves, "Why do I feel guilty saying no?" "What am I doing wrong?" "Why isn't this getting any better?" "How do I get him/her/them to listen to me?" They may want to understand themselves more, stop people-pleasing, resolve trauma(s), and unwanted behavior, or acquire new skills that help them improve their life, relationships, and well-being.

My clients come to me carrying heavy burdens of depression or trauma and may be exhausted by the constant vigilance of anxiety.

I've had the privilege of walking alongside many women in their journey and I'd be honored to accompany you in yours!.
My passion is helping women to regain a feeling of control and authorship in their lives. Too often as women, we expend so much energy trying to be the best worker/mother/partner we can be and end up putting our own needs at the bottom of the list. We may struggle with disempowering beliefs about ourself that we can't seem to break free from that undercut our true value and worth. We typically only come to therapy if we're hurting a great deal; though choosing to directly confront and sit with our pain can be difficult, it also has the potential to be truly transformative!

My clients often are aware that something in their current lives is no longer serving them, want to understand how that came to be, and align themselves with the vision they have for their future. This often starts by noticing repeating patterns of behavior in themselves, or those they attract, and becoming curious about the reason why. They may also find that they experience certain physical and emotional responses (anger, anxiety, people pleasing etc.) and know that their body is trying to tell them something needs to shift.

My goal as a therapist is to create the necessary space for clients to learn coping skills for emotional regulation, manage difficult life changes and gain insight using a person-centered, trauma-informed lens. Drawing from existing strengths and focusing on self-care practices is essential for personal growth. My professional experience using cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing has been able to help guide others and overcome past barriers to treatment.

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.
