you are presumably looking to make some sort of change. You may be suffering from anxiety, depression, lingering events from your past, or dealing with current stressors from family, relationships, work, or life events. All too often people resort to unhealthy means or patterns to alleviate their pain, stress, or mood but the relief is often fleeting and our best attempts can often backfire leaving us overwhelmed and exhausted. Therapy can serve as a collaborative process in which you can work through the obstacles that stand in the way of a happy and fulfilling life.

Life and death - perhaps the biggest adjustments of the human experience. Each can stir up feelings such as overwhelm, guilt, and loneliness. If someone you care about is seriously ill or has died, if you're grieving loss due to miscarriage/stillbirth, or are trying to conceive, prepare for birth, or adjust to postpartum life, know that you do not have to move through these chapters alone. I have personal and professional background supporting children/families through hospice/grief and through the transition into parenthood. Together we'll create space to process your journey and identify tools to help you continue moving forward.

Do you feel anxious and overwhelmed? Has your alcohol or drug use become more of a problem then an escape? You may find yourself here because you no longer feel in control. You may feel trapped in the cycle of drinking or using. Perhaps you have tried to stop on your own. Relief is possible, but often it requires support from someone who understands addiction. Let's get to the root of the problem. Therapy can help you figure out your "why". Together, we can identify healthy ways to cope. We can clarify your purpose and get you back to a life that isn't dictated by the urge to drink or use drugs.

Emotional distress comes in many forms. We may feel a nagging unhappiness, a sense that our lives have become inauthentic, or have gotten off-track. We may feel held back or overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, or perhaps we’re struggling to re-start our lives in the aftermath of trauma. Sometimes it’s relationships in our lives that leave us conflicted or confused. At times pain can be a catalyst for growth. But when it goes on too long, it can end up preventing us from living fulfilling lives. That’s where I come in.

I became a therapist because I saw early on how men are conditioned not to practice emotional vulnerability and I wanted to model something different in my own life. In the decade since I started down this path, I've met many people grappling with social expectations as I have. My experience working with clients of all backgrounds has reaffirmed for me that, while we all lead very different lives, today's world nudges each of us towards feelings of isolation, anxiety, insecurity, and overwhelm. If you're feeling stuck, burnt out, or just want a nonjudgmental space to explore your emotional landscape, let's chat.

Everything we do serves a purpose for us at some point in time. However, our goals can change and sometimes our once-useful behaviors become ineffective or even harmful. I often describe dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) as “common sense therapy.” Using familiar concepts, DBT helps people recognize when their behaviors are no longer serving them and teaches how to replace them with skills to more effectively meet their needs/goals.

Entering a relationship with a therapist can be challenging when life is going well, so I appreciate the additional effort it takes when things aren't easy. I view our work as mutual, a partnership and my style is to be there with you as you explore. I also believe 'the work' is never truly done, but my goal is to give you the skills to continue that work outside of our time together. With couples, this work is complex because there are two histories, two brains, and scars from relationship injuries that need healing as we strengthen that bond.

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.
