I primarily use 3 therapy methods: Psychodynamic, Feminist, and Relational therapies.
For the last 10 years, I've been working with people who are seeking relief from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. I work with clients who are looking for a supportive space for self-reflection and growth, with the goal of building relationship skills and coping strategies that can help them move through life in a more skillful way. I love working with people, and I use a warm and compassionate approach, not without direct and honest feedback, candor and humor. I'm often described as kind, spacious, and encouraging, providing a comfortable space for therapy.

I believe everyone can benefit from counseling: through having extra support, a place to just be, or space to explore who they are. Learning how to explore, understand, offer kindness, and forgive oneself is never a waste of time. Counseling is self-directed. You are in the driver’s seat, so you decide where and when we make pitstops, whether we take the scenic route or the highway, and which lane we need to be in. I’ll be the navigator: making sure the big picture is considered to get us where we need to go. I’m committed to making a safe space for any client to do the work they need on this journey to the self.

Why does this keep happening? Why can't I let this go? Why do I find myself in the same relationship over and over? Most of our personal challenges in life come from events in our early childhood or are passed down from trauma in our families. Theses things are challenging to heal or transform when we either don’t remember what they are or never knew to begin with. Even with events we do remember it can be hard to get to a place of transformation. That is why I work with modalities that get deep into the the unconscious so that change can take place on that deep level that is very challenging to get to with thinking and talking.

My clients are viewed from a holistic perspective in order to promote insight and connections on the path to self-fulfillment. You may not know it, but grief, trauma, rejection, abandonment, and more could be holding you back. I put you first in this highly personal and strictly confidential, therapeutic relationship to dig into the vulnerabilities and thought processes that are contributing to negative feelings, undesired repetitive choices, or unfulfilling relationships. My empowerment strategies draw from several theories of psychology to examine the root causes of undesired behaviors or promoting new behaviors.

You’ve noticed your teen is struggling to connect with you, their friends, family, and even with themselves. Maybe you’re concerned they’re harming themselves, using drugs, or engaging in risky behaviors. They may seem like they don’t have any hope or any goals and like their self-confidence is low. You’re worried about what their future will hold.

Engaging in counseling can be a scary first step. You may wonder if your symptoms are just in your head and if you really just need to "tough it out". I applaud the courage it takes to look for a counselor and entrust someone with the scariest or most difficult parts of your life. I am honored to be that person for my clients.

At the core of my therapeutic approach is my belief that we heal and transform through authentic and empathic connection. I view therapy as a collaborative process where we co-create a space to engage what has been wounded and find medicine to heal and grow. Seeking healing and restoration is a brave and courageous journey that goes against all the systems of oppression that seek to wound and separate us. I considered it a profound honor to walk with someone in this journey through challenges, suffering, wonder, curiosity and pain, to find a healing, growth, embodiment and joy that follows us beyond the therapy room.

There's a lot of talk these days about "boundaries," but what does that mean? Many are unsure. This is often part of a collection of symptoms, including self-esteem issues, getting lost in relationships, difficulty with moderation, and unrealistic goals of perfectionism, and more. I can help you understand these experiences, which are often related to codependency, resulting in anxiety, feelings of separation from others, problems with intimacy, and repeating parenting behaviors that you disliked growing up. Contributing factors can also be treated, including being raised by a narcissistic parent and other developmental traumas.

There has to be an easier way to get through life. Anxiety, depression and constant stress can't be how everyone else feels all the time. You talk to your girlfriends, and they’re a great support but that relief never lasts. You feel like you’re running in circles trying this tip and that. You wonder if you might be broken. You’re ready for things to change - actually change - this time. You’re ready to get out of survival mode and let go of anxiety and insecurity. Most of all, you’re ready for your life to feel peaceful and authentic.

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.
