My relationship with you will be personalized to your needs while utilizing an eclectic approach that combines Feminist and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Internally you are feeling a rollercoaster of emotions, and this imbalance is affecting your relationships, work life and overall sense of wellness. You notice your concentration is worse, patience is low, and irritability is high. You struggle with prioritizing yourself, communicating needs, setting boundaries and creating balance in your life. You know something must change, but nothing you’ve tried so far has worked long term. You feel that the next step is to reach out for support and form a relationship with someone that can assist you with healing, improving overall wellness and moving past these barriers to your ideal life.

I draw from an integrative approach to psychotherapy that weaves together cognitive-behavioral, insight-oriented, interpersonal, and pro-feminist empowerment approaches.
To me, at the core of psychotherapy, is creating a working alliance with the client in a safe, perfection-free, and respectful environment. I help individuals better understand their internal emotional worlds, learn more about why they do the things they do, help them to decide for themselves what changes they would like to make in their lives, and give them guidance and support in how to do so.

I’ve lived in the Midwest my whole life, and I also come from a background of being raised in Christian/immigrant communities. I have experience working with the following: QTBIPOC communities, neurodivergent people, and people living with HIV. I’ve also got experience working specifically with trans clients who are exploring their transition process. I think it's crucial to provide empowering and identity-specific therapy spaces, especially for QTBIPOC right now.

As a holistic feminist therapist, I support women in finding their voices, taking up space in their own life, becoming accepting of their bodies/appearances, and creating relationships that are fulfilling rather than exhausting.
As a woman, does it seem like life is harder than ever? It’s difficult to find lasting and fulfilling relationships both romantically and platonically. There is more pressure than ever to look, act, talk, and live a certain way. You feel the weight of the world to keep everyone around you happy, comfortable, and taken care of, but you have no clue how to take care of yourself. You probably identify as a “people pleaser” and make most of your decisions based on what will keep the peace rather than create your own peace. And don’t even get me started on the expectation that we are never supposed to age…

The therapeutic relationship can be a powerful force. Oftentimes, people come to counseling seeking relief from symptoms, but it doesn’t have to end there. When the power of the therapeutic relationship is realized, it goes beyond symptom management and into a deeper understanding of self, with the power to illuminate a version of who you are that has yet to be expressed in this world.

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.
