I'm so glad you're here! Life has this crazy habit of throwing us curve balls that can leave us feeling powerless, anxious, depressed, or like we are trapped in some strange version of ourselves that can't seem to manage the challenges in front of us. I believe that we develop habits and beliefs about ourselves based on what has happened to us and that those things can keep us disconnected from who we truly are, ultimately preventing us from fulfilling our deepest desires. I believe that you have answers within yourself, if you can only clear away all the fog of years and years of negative beliefs about yourself and the world.

You may be reaching out because the systems and skills that used to work for you don’t anymore. Maybe you’ve tried therapy, read the books, or built routines and coping strategies, but you’re still exhausted and overwhelmed. You might live with ADHD, OCD, perfectionism, anxiety, or complex trauma, and feel tired of managing everything on your own while appearing “fine” to others. I also work as a sex-positive therapist with people in kink, BDSM, polyamorous, and other non-traditional relationships.

Whatever has brought you to seek therapy, hello. Therapy is not one size fits all. By building rapport, we will work to build a safe environment, centered around your goals and needs, and rooted in human connection at the core. The mind-body connection is the foundation I work from to navigate individuals seeking support in depression, anxiety, complex trauma, interpersonal relationships, substance use, anger management, life transitions, improving self-esteem, and the feelings in general that seem undefinable.

Female Therapists
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.
