You are the most important person in your life, even if it hasn’t or no longer feels that way. Your life may not have allowed this to feel true, or this truth may have become lost amid expectations, fear, or pain. Therapy is your place to process where you've been, and recognize the strength and bravery of healing through vulnerability.
In our work together, you’ll have a safe, non-judgmental space to slow down and be heard. My therapeutic style is warm, authentic, and curious, so we can co-create a space that is built on your expertise. We'll work to deepen your self-trust, cultivate compassion, and increase pleasure in your life.

You may feel trapped by past pain or uncertainty, but everything you need to rise, heal, and thrive is already within you, waiting to be awakened! I especially love working with children and adolescents, as I have found this stage of life to be profoundly informative - full of challenges, growth, and opportunities that can shape how a person understands themselves and their place in the world. I use TF-CBT as my main approach and also integrate brainspotting techniques, which allow the brain and body to process experiences in new ways.

My practice is built upon the belief in the resilience of the human spirit. Humans are remarkably skilled at learning how to adapt to overwhelming stress. "Survival" necessitates a disconnect from our body, heart and mind. Allowing narratives to unfold, within a safe relational dyad, can invite a journey back to the Self within. While I have a special interest, and heart for, working with those who have been deeply hurt, I also welcome couples who are struggling to live in harmony with one another or those who want to rekindle a "passion" for living life together in real, authentic partnership.

You're a good fit for me if you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, feel like you're constantly managing a mental checklist, and struggling with self-doubt. You have difficulty setting boundaries and often feel unsupported in your relationships, leading to frustration and burnout. You're conflict avoidant but desire deeper connections, and feel stuck in unfulfilling patterns. You're ready for change, you want to improve your self-worth, build healthier relationships, find balance, and learn how to be more compassionate with yourself. You know it'll benefit you to slow down in all the ways - but you're not sure how to do it.

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.
