I take an eclectic approach to counseling, utilizing interventions from IFS, psychodynamic psychotherapy, somatic therapy, DBT, attachment theory, and others while working with clients through a feminist, person-centered lens.
My hope as a psychotherapist is to build a relationship based on trust, respect, and hopefulness with my clients. I view psychotherapy not only as a way to address symptoms, but as a gateway to more joy, wholeness, and pleasure in our lives.

If you’re here, you’re likely finding that something has been getting in the way of experiencing the sexual pleasure and/or relationship connection you want. Maybe it’s needing to integrate a new understanding of your sexual or gender orientation. Perhaps you’re not sure exactly what brings you pleasure or how to ask for what you want. Shame or past trauma has been preventing you from finding freedom. All of these dynamics can leave you feeling lonely and disconnected from yourself and your partner.

When describing my work as a therapist, I often say that therapy is the art of having awkward conversations. The things that come up during therapy sessions aren’t often broached around the dinner table or at social gatherings, so talking about them can feel overwhelmingly weird. No one wakes up in the morning and says, "Hmm. You know what I'd like to do today? Spend an hour talking to a stranger and tell them all my deep, dark secrets." Sometimes, though, life circumstances, interpersonal difficulties, and emotional troubles make these conversations necessary. This is where I come in.

Whether this is your first time looking for a therapist or a "last ditch effort" to get help, I believe I can support you. When you are working with me, and yes, therapy is work, it is my hope that you will feel warmth, genuineness, and judgment-free compassion from me. Just the concept of finally feeling heard can be quite powerful in itself. I am trained in a number of therapeutic approaches but I do not believe in a cookie-cutter approach to clients, and will tailor my interventions to your needs. While techniques and interventions are important, the rapport and relationship between therapist and client is what is most powerful.

Are you a human being with feelings? Do those feelings sometimes get really big and make it feel like things are out of control? All of us go through this during our lifetime. Maybe you go to the grocery store and it’s so people-y that you feel like you’re going to have a panic attack because you’re still not quite used to being around so many people at once. Or maybe you are struggling with grief and you don’t know how to live without the person you lost. Maybe you don’t enjoy things anymore and the people you love keep asking you what’s wrong and you don’t know how to answer them.

Asking for help is hard. I’m glad you’re considering therapy. Therapy works, but only when you can trust your therapist. I am passionate about creating an inclusive space where you can be yourself and trust in our process. Together, we can explore whatever you need; many of my clients are working on identity, trauma, and figuring out what they want out of life. I’m trauma-informed, which means I am committed to empathy, client autonomy, safety, trust, and empowerment. I recognize the intersectionality of identities and the importance of honoring each person's lived experiences. Respect and cultural humility are essential.

We all deserve a safe space to understand and take care of our health. Many times a new physical diagnosis is given and treated but a big part of your health is forgotten, your mental health. My approach to your health is holistically. Physical health diagnoses can impact how we feel and interact. We forget that our brain lives inside of our body and to heal we must think about the entire body. Using this lens, I work with those struggling with a new physical diagnosis, mood disorders, trauma, life transitions and family distress. I have also worked with various healthcare workers in navigating burnout and healthcare challenges.

I am IFS Level One trained and primarily use this psychospiritual modality in my practice. This involves taking a deep dive into the inner workings of our system, and being open to exploring mystical healing. I am also trained in IFS-informed EMDR, and sometimes blend these modalities for optimal results when working with complex trauma. I will be facilitating IFS groups in the spring of 2024.

Every stage of life comes with greeting and farewell. There is grief in new beginnings and there is hope in dark moments. Growing a family includes mixtures of hope, sorrow, joy, and longing. For me, perinatal mental health encompasses (in)fertility struggles, miscarriage & pregnancy loss, abortion or TFMR, NICU experiences, infant loss, perinatal depression, anxiety, & OCD, birth trauma, postpartum transition, and early parenthood.

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.
