I draw from person centered, psychoanalytic, and feminist modalities, aimed at raising insight while supporting a positive self-concept.
I am here to help my clients process whatever hurts or challenges they are experiencing, clarify their priorities, and motivate them to pursue their goals. I'm drawn to restoring equilibrium where it may have been lost, or has yet to be established. I have worked with clients on issues ranging from grief, depression, anxiety, feeling "stuck" or "lost", psychosis, addiction, relationship conflict, life transitions, questions of identity, and intersections thereof. My ideal client is open to engage in self-exploration, and willing to explore a balance between change and acceptance that is right for them.

Negative self thoughts, trauma, and the fear of stigma can often lead to hiding parts of ourselves. When there is an imbalance between our inner selves and what we present to the world around us, it can cause us to experience feelings of anxiety, depression, guilt, and shame. It can feel impossible to imagine a life that isn't overshadowed by these feelings. My goal is to assist you in becoming self empowered to address the barriers that have held you back for so long from living as your authentic self.

Clarity Intensives with Tarot: Lately, you’ve been a pollster - asking everyone else what you should do. You run the numbers & still end up still feeling queasy. When a friend asks “what is your gut saying?” you wanna scream. You’ve been trying to lure your gut out of hiding. But the lightning of new ideas & shaking thunder of anxiety scared it away. You’re left with a churning stomach, spinning mind, and this decision. Love or leave. Accept or pass. Sometimes you’ll get so sick of your own back and forth, you start a tidy, color coded pro and con list. But it’s more of the same intellectual spinning with no soulful clarity.

Are you overwhelmed or stuck in a rut? Part of being overwhelmed or stuck in a rut is feeling a loss of control. Changing your perspective, changes your reality. Changing both, allows and affords for a shift in how you reset your focus. Finding one's focus is all about taking a keen and hard look at you! What areas do you find that you need to bring into focus, and and what areas do you feel you need to push into the background? As well, which areas do you find that you simply need to blur? These are the questions that lead you to pause, breathe, reflect, and then do the work necessary to take better care of your well-being.

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.
