My speciality areas include all of women's issues, life transitions, and substance abuse recovery.
Relationship stresses, life -changing events, loss, feelings that are difficult to manage or challenges becoming the person you would like to be are some of reasons people choose to enter into therapy. The keys to a successful outcome include a good fit with your therapist as well as the willingness to take risks. I believe that the therapy relationship is a powerful healing tool, empowering people to make the desired changes in their lives. You name the demographic or the problem, and I've probably helped someone through that challenge. Might we be a good fit for your journey?

I believe you are reading this now because you are at an important turning point in your life, your relationship, your career. How many times have you thought about making a change, getting some help, finding someone who will listen without judgement? Have you been frustrated in the past with therapy that is long on talk and short on practical tools that lead to real change? You will not find this in our work together. As we get to know one another I will work to tailor homework assignments to reinforce the work we do in our sessions together.

The hardest part about getting help is that first step where we have to ask. It takes a lot of courage to admit we don't have the right tools for the job, especially when that job is our happiness and fulfillment. Maybe we push people away, or get angry out of nowhere, or carry so much stress we can't sleep. Burnout and depression weigh us down and make it hard to connect with those around us. It makes sense to look for help, especially now.

It can be challenging to want to make a change, invest in yourself, try to view your life without judgment, and having no idea where to start. Truth be told, you don't need to know where to start, just that you want something to be different. Your willingness to examine yourself is what you bring to sessions and my experience and skill is where I meet you in those sessions. My role is to challenge you when you’re stuck and keep you accountable, providing education and practical skills to use in daily life, and support you through the discomfort of change and vulnerability - and to celebrate the successes that follow.

I believe therapy is sacred work, and I approach each encounter with reverence. Transformation is possible through mindful presence, and the meditative practice of acceptance of reality as it is. There are many changes that occur when people are able to bring unconscious emotions into awareness, which does happen naturally, but is amplified during non-ordinary states of consciousness. When we deepen the awareness of how our mind operates-its patterns, tendencies, weak spots and vulnerabilities-we are able to connect with our deepest desires, and most creative expressions of who we are, and who we are capable of becoming.

As people, we have a deep need to be understood, and one of the most profound ways to explore and experience this is in a safe and affirming therapeutic relationship. As a therapist, I work with individuals using an eclectic and holistic approach, walking alongside each individual to identify their needs and put their inner experience at the center, engaging both mind and body, so that barriers to their well-being can be lifted. In my practice, I look to be responsive, collaborative, and affirmative when working with folks' intersecting identities and how those identities show up within the therapeutic relationship.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
