There are times in our lives when we need help. Life experiences require us to make the decision to seek guidance from outside our immediate family and friends. Counseling can provide much needed support and intervention in times of crises or with chronic issues that last a lifetime. Don't consider it a weakness but a strength to take that step to be the best possible individual or family you can be.

As a Contemplative Psychotherapist, I attune to the inherent wisdom of my clients. We get confused and disconnected from ourselves throughout life. The disconnect is not the problem - its the invitation to meet ourselves wholly and completely. Despite diagnoses like Anxiety, Depression and PTSD and the pain of those - there is an inner glimmer, suggesting that a different way is possible. Together we tend that inner glimmer and support you in feeling a deeper connection to your body, your mind, your spirit.

I currently offer virtual appointments to individuals (adults and teens in MT and SD) with a focus on treating eating disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, and women's issues including challenges associated with pregnancy, postpartum and motherhood.
The kindest thing we can do for ourselves is to face life's challenges with honesty and bravery. But doing so can be painful, and often requires support from others. Therapy offers a unique opportunity to help differentiate what we can and cannot change, and to guide us toward self-affirming, healthy choices without judgment or pressure.

The therapeutic relationship provides a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space to work through your concerns, reframe experiences, and move in a direction that honors what is important to you.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of daily life? It can be hard to balance all the responsibilities that come our way. We often carry the weight of familial, relational, occupational, or societal pressures and expectations, leading us to feel as if we have lost ourselves or as if our wants, needs, and experiences do not matter. In therapy I hope create a space that feels safe and inviting, leading to conversations where clients feel comfortable working through their challenges in order to facilitate growth.

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.
