I specialize in working with people that struggle with anxiety, that have survived trauma, or that find themselves stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns. I'm also passionate about working with couples to help them better understand their relationship dynamics, attachment patterns and negative cycles that they might like to shift. I like to dig into therapy with you, build a frank & trusting dynamic & co-create a sense of curiosity about the experiences in your life that inform present patterns of thinking, feeling & behaving. I believe that humor, trust & unconditional regard are essential in a strong therapeutic relationship.

Therapy gives us the opportunity to express ourselves to the fullest extent without fear of judgment or retaliation. My background in left social movements grounds my practice in abolitionist and anti-oppressive frameworks. I particularly love working with adults and adolescents navigating trauma, peer conflict, OCD, AuDHD, TBI, and queerness. I am also passionate about supporting folks dealing with political and activist stress, chronic illness and ableism. I am emotions-focused, relational, and direct, and use a mix of talk therapy, IFS, somatic work, and am certified in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.

Life is something, isn’t it? Moments of joy, accomplishment, and meaning can feel fleeting, and many of us find we spend much of our time wondering if we’re the only ones struggling to picture what contentment even looks like. Actually maintaining it in our daily lives can seem impossible. We look around at our families, our careers, our friendships, our relationships with our children, and we see areas where there is room for growth and change. The difference between noticing what we want to improve and having the strength, support, and courage to actually do it can feel vast. And lonely.

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.
