I find it especially meaningful and rewarding to work with young women processing complex trauma related to their childhoods, sexual violence, relational ruptures, and more.
ACT therapists use an collaborative, strengths-based approach to help clients identify values and goals, teach mindfulness skills, see a larger perspective, and develop adaptive (workable) behaviors. When appropriate, I also integrate interventions from EMDR, Mindfulness Therapy, IFS and Compassion-Focused Therapy.

I have experience working with teens, adult women, and gender-expansive individuals.

Our work together will vary on your goals and the direction you take it; I will always strive to empower you to guide how you want your healing journey to look. In addition to traditional talk-therapy, we can incorporate movement, sand tray, art, and meditation.

I particularly enjoy helping women with anxiety.
I help clients identify goals for therapy, and work toward those goals in a non-judgmental, supportive manner, referring to outside resources where appropriate. For some clients, I incorporate EMDR therapy into my sessions. EMDR therapy can help clients heal emotionally from painful life experiences.

Don’t wait another day to be the strong, resilient woman you can be.
You’ve lived this way long enough, feeling unseen, unloved, and disrespected. There’s strength and confidence deep inside you, but it’s not coming out for some reason. Instead, you shuffle through life without trusting yourself and enjoying the healthy relationships you deserve. You’re here because you know it’s time to explore your soul and discover why you’re not living your best life. It’s time to heal the deep wounds keeping your body, mind, and heart in a hazy fog of disconnection. It’s time to discover the freedom that comes when you can live as one with your authentic self.

In our initial session we will discuss what matters to YOU and your goals I enjoy working with women and moms in need of support.
Silence can hurt. Yes, the roles of being a mom, wife, friend, and child are GREAT but they can also be draining. Maybe you know your relationships are unfulfilling or your work life has been stressful for quite some time. You may be thinking how you got here. You may be wondering if you are the problem. Your doubts and anxieties about the world around you may be stemming from societal pressure, cultural influence, or past experiences- which we know is unfair to compare our situation to past events.

Whether you’re working towards big goals, navigating a life transition, or simply not feeling like yourself, it would be my pleasure to support you on your mental health journey. Therapy can be a space for growth, and I believe in the power of putting in the work, even when it feels uncomfortable. Both strength and vulnerability are key to the process, and I believe that everyone can benefit from accommodations tailored to their individualistic needs.

I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and self-actualization. We are the best experts on ourselves and have tremendous capacity for change. However, sometimes we don't know how to put that potential to use. Sometimes, anxiety, trauma or low self-esteem can keep us from coping with circumstances or trusting our abilities. We feel trapped, overwhelmed or helpless. But it doesn't have to stay this way. Therapy can provide the support to feel accepted and the confidence to start facing your biggest challenges.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, 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 because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
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 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.
