They may be in college or emerging adulthood, facing life transitions, or exploring non-traditional relationship dynamics.

Life changes can quietly shake your confidence—whether it’s a shift at work, a relationship change, caregiving responsibilities, or realizing that the way you’ve been coping no longer works. You may find yourself overthinking, doubting your decisions, or feeling unsure of who you are in this new phase of life.
I work with adults who are adjusting to change and struggling with self-confidence, self-trust, or a sense of direction. Many of my clients are capable and responsible people who feel frustrated that they “should be handling things better,” yet feel stuck or depleted.

“I’m responsible. I’m not good enough. I’m a burden.” These messages replay in your mind during conflict, in relationships, at your job, or in your day to day. These thoughts make it hard to set boundaries in your family or relationships, pursue your interests, passions, or personal goals without guilt, or feel connected to your emotions. These core beliefs developed throughout your life but they do not have to define your present.

I provide a comfortable, safe, non-judgmental space in which to do that work, collaboratively and creatively. I want to empower you and to help you feel like, "I've got this. I can get through it." Because you can.

You’re the one people count on. The strong friend. The fixer. The one who keeps it all together, even when it’s quietly falling apart inside.

Through Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help high-achieving women, especially BIPOC women, heal the roots of anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, & generational trauma using a compassionate, depth-oriented approach.

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.
