I use relational, systems focused, feminist, and queer elements in our work together.
Now accepting new clients - evening slots available! Being a human can be an intense experience and you are not alone! I usually see clients who are looking to process stress, overwhelming emotions, identities, relationships, past experiences, and the ways societal expectations have influenced their lives. I also see couples and people in relationships who are navigating the challenges of partnership and who hold intersecting identities. I am poly/queer informed.

Both in the therapy space and beyond, I view the world through social justice and feminist lenses, trying to understand the systems at play and power structures we exist in so that together we can access choice and feel empowered for the long haul.
Hey there! I'm accepting new clients who are experiencing challenging emotions (depression, anxiety, anger), feel like they’re on the edge of burnout (compassion fatigue, eco-grief, difficulty with daily routines), or noticing relationship distress (communication issues, identity and sexuality exploration, boundaries and agreements). Most of the frameworks I use center around body wisdom and emotions because I believe you are the expert on your own experience and I'm just along to offer gentle guidance when needed. I feel passionate about supporting people who care about the world and want to make it a better place.

Are anxiety, depression, and trauma creating roadblocks in your life? Does it feel like there is a disconnect between you and the world around you? It is normal for the trauma stored in your body to create barriers to connection. Unfortunately, these barriers can be incredibly painful and difficult to cope with. You may be experiencing cycles of painful thoughts, days of numbness, or outbursts of anger.

I believe humans are beautifully complex beings with a mind, body, and spirit - to isolate healing to only one of these areas is to significantly limit potential growth. Are you experiencing anxiety that has not dissipated no matter how well you try to take care of yourself? Are you noticing that your relationships and career are not where you want them to be, but are struggling to know where to start to make changes? Maybe you are curious about how past challenges and trauma could be impacting you now, and want to break free from the hold that the past seems to have on you.

I strive to empower my clients to be their most amazing, vibrant, and truest selves. It is normal to struggle but we don't need to suffer. We're often on the right path when we feel lost. This shows us we are aware and open. We are not hard wired for change but we ARE innately predisposed to search for possibilities that support our values, goals, and dreams. I see my clients as creative, capable and whole. We live in a society that is focused on external “success” and appearance and this can create an internal chaos and disconnection from that which truly feeds the spirit. The good news is that we don’t have to live this way.

I work with people navigating challenges such as stress, anxiety, trauma, or seeking support during life transitions. They may grapple with a sense of disconnection or have unresolved emotional experiences and require a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their unique experiences, incorporating mind-body practices. I partner with people who seek not only symptom alleviation but also long-term growth and resilience. They aspire to uncover interconnected narratives within their body, release tension, and cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves.

Are you here because you feel tired, stuck, and often at odds with yourself? Because – despite feeling desperate to feel something different – you find yourself in the same old patterns? Replaying the same painful memories, worries, and harsh self-talk? Maybe people, even therapists, have commented on how self-aware you are. But that doesn't seem to translate to feeling any better. Maybe you've tried self-care practices, meditation, or yoga and they helped. But you can't shake the feeling that there's more to explore on your healing path. I'm here for folks looking to heed that wild call to look inward.

Feminist Therapists
How does feminist therapy work?
Feminist therapy sessions are not only personal but often cultural or political in nature, as the approach is based on the belief that people are affected by, and often struggle with, cultural and societal norms and biases, and need to move beyond those external pressures or stressors to tap their own confidence and engage more fully in their own identity. Sessions may therefore include discussions of sexism, diversity, and gender issues and talk of steps toward greater empowerment for patients who believe they have been silenced and seek to raise their voices.
What are examples of feminist therapy techniques?
Along with traditional talk therapy and analysis, a feminist therapist may employ techniques such as role-playing and assertiveness training to help clients build their self-esteem so that they feel they can act freely, and not based on cultural expectations or gender roles dictated by others. A feminist therapist may also engage in bibliotherapy, offering suggested readings on gender identity or social power inequities as they work toward viewing mental-health concerns through a broad cultural lens before focusing on how they affect the individual. Somatic therapy techniques, with an emphasis on body awareness, self-compassion, and mindfulness practices are also often part of feminist therapist practice.
How long does feminist therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for feminist therapy; people who believe that they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that had been holding them back. It may take some time to become comfortable discussing personal issues, but once a client feels they can do so, they could expect therapy to last for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.
Does feminist therapy work?
As a relatively recent therapeutic technique, there is not yet a body of evidence proving the efficacy of feminist therapy. However, the approach is based on proven core principles of talk therapy, with a particular emphasis on developing a therapeutic relationship based on equality and authentic connection between therapist and client and discovering and building on clients’ personal strengths to help them gain a greater sense of personal power and agency.
