Life transitions can feel overwhelming and isolating especially when you’re trying to figure out what’s next. I work with adults and couples navigating major changes such as changing careers, returning to school, or re-evaluating direction after years in roles that no longer feel aligned. I support individuals and partners who have experienced trauma, stress, burnout, and self-doubt beneath periods of change. Therapy is a space to slow down, gain clarity, and feel supported. Change may feel like stepping onto a new path—but you don’t have to walk it alone. Together, we focus on confidence, coping skills, and an aligned direction.

Hi! I work with those who feel deeply-whether they’re grieving, anxious, exploring identity, or carrying the weight of everyday life.

They want a space to express all emotions—messy, beautiful, painful, and joyful—without judgment, and are ready to grow, even if they’re unsure where to begin.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
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.
