Hi, Kelsey here. My therapeutic approach has always been eclectic but can best be summarized as person center approach. No one intervention works for all. For so many starting therapy is a journey that can also cause anxiety. I offer my clients a warm and supportive space. I am skilled at helping my clients towards making small steps towards larger goals and change. I utilize evidenced based approaches such as CBT, DBT, trauma informed care. I come from a psychodynamic background, I also deeply believe change happens when sharing your story and life's experience.

HOW PSYCHOTHERAPY CAN HELP: Psychotherapy is powerful tool, one that I use to help individuals, couples and families in crisis, in stalemate or needing to change and grow. I have trained for more than 30 years to understand the social-emotional communications at the core of who we are. These subtle but important states become disturbed in illness but are also the vital life force of rewarding relationships and satisfying work. Accessing these in a therapeutic process can foster profound change. PRACTICE SPECIALIZATIONS: Psychotherapy for Individuals and Couples, Parent Infant Therapy, MBT

You don’t feel like yourself. Or rather you feel like a version of yourself, but one that’s lost direction and connection. You find yourself scrolling and searching for answers but nothing is changing and you're stuck. You’ve come to define yourself based on stories you’ve been told or internalized and can’t seem to find your own voice through the noise. It is possible to find your way again with support to help you through this transition.

As humans we crave connection: to be known and deeply loved. But sometimes we may feel like there are parts of us that aren't acceptable or loveable. We may learn to be sensitive to other people's signals, discerning what we need to do so that they'll love and accept us. Sometimes, we get so good at it that we don't even realize we’re doing it anymore. In the safety of therapy, I invite you to explore your full human experience. We will shine a light on the hidden places that you may not have been allowed to explore. We’ll acknowledge the barriers you have faced along the way while empowering you to move toward your fullest self.

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.
