Utilizing play therapy techniques, my main specialties with children include support through challenges with grief & loss (incl. parental divorce), boundaries & defiance, emotional sensitivity, fears & anxiety, difficulty with transitions, and self-confidence. For teens & young adults, I utilize an emotion-focused and mindfulness-based approach to support with challenges such as anxiety & depression, relationships, self-esteem, and identity.

Welcome! I specialize in working with survivors of sexual assault, as well as college/graduate students and young professionals with concerns related to anxiety, perfectionism, life transitions, relationships, and self-esteem.

Sometimes we get "stuck", and I aim to assist you in moving through these "stuck" places so that you can meet your goals and engage more fully in your life.

Delving into one’s inner workings can at times be intimidating and daunting, and I am here to help you explore those depths through our work together. It is courageous to engage in this form of exploration and oftentimes going to these places requires the presence of another, someone to help hold the burden and witness the growth and insights that are gained. I work with adolescents, teens, and young adults into mid life; creating a safe therapeutic environment, where you will be able to uncover new insight into your behaviors, relationships and whatever else might be causing pain or discord in your daily life.

From queer lineages and white European/Celtic ancestry, I am a queer, gender-variant-femme, poet and Buddhist practitioner who derives inspiration and purpose from the forces of nature, meditation, and relationships.

Traumatic experiences and childhood trauma can have devastating effects. Relational wounds cut deep and can affect our sense of self, and our relations, in pervasive ways. Now is the time to let our experiences make us kinder, wiser, stronger. We take what hurts and find ways of being with it, organically and gently. Our bodies hold both the wounds and our healing powers in the ways we breathe, move, and hold ourselves. Noticing sensations, impulses, posture and gestures opens doors to healing from adverse experiences, whether recent, long ago, or current, and to new ways of moving through life, in healthy, open, empowered ways.

I believe that therapy is about helping individuals better understand themselves, their values, and how they can live meaningful lives in the midst of life's challenges and hardships. The therapeutic relationship enables a safe place for individuals to explore difficult internal experiences and relationship patterns, and choose how to respond in ways that are consistent with their values. It is a privilege to hold space for others to gain insight into their own experience and choose the kind of person they want to be in the world.

To the deep feelers and thinkers, those who notice things that others miss, I see you. 30% of us are born with more finely-tuned nervous systems than others, yet most of us have been made to feel different, strange, and "too sensitive". If you often get overwhelmed by life and the chaos of the world, there's absolutely nothing wrong with you. I love helping Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) and others with neurodiverse brains understand themselves in light of their sensitivity, heal from past trauma, and gain the self-trust to soar.

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.
