You’ve done the insight work, but something still isn’t shifting. You might notice it in your relationship with money, self-worth, or how safe it feels to receive, rest, or be fully seen. Patterns repeat, even when you understand them. Many of the people I work with don’t just want another session, they’re seeking space. Space away from the noise, the roles, and the expectations, to focus deeply on what’s been sitting underneath it all. If you’re drawn to step out of your usual environment and into something more intentional, this work may be a strong fit.

Feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stretched, or like you’re carrying too much for too long. I work with adults who are trying to keep functioning while navigating periods of stress, change, grief, parenting strain, emotional exhaustion, or relationship pressure. Many appear to be coping on the outside, while underneath things have started to feel harder to manage. Together, we make sense of what’s been happening, understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and find practical, manageable ways to regain steadiness, confidence, and a greater sense of control in day-to-day life.

Using the power of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I support individuals and couples to deepen their emotional awareness, clarify their attachment patterns, and create love that actually feels good to live in. As a therapist, I bring a calm, warm and curios energy into sessions. A presence that helps you slow down, feel seen and send clear emotional signals to those closest to you. With over seven years working with clients, I believe therapy should feel safe. A space where you leave clearer and more connected to what you feel. And more able to show up in your relationships with steadiness and choice.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, 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 because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

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 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.
