Life with anxiety feels. absolutely. awful. Like you might be waking up in the morning with a knot in your stomach, overwhelmed by all the to-dos. You have so much to do, it’s literally impossible to finish. And you struggle to shake off that panic that you have to do it all. Or maybe relationships are hard. You have tough stuff going on in your family, with your partner, or maybe you know it’s something from trauma you’ve experienced. Whatever it might be, you struggle to feel like relationships are working. Anxious, disconnected, not sure how to move forward. You’re here because something has got to change.

As a Contemplative Psychotherapist, I attune to the inherent wisdom of my clients. We get confused and disconnected from ourselves throughout life. The disconnect is not the problem - its the invitation to meet ourselves wholly and completely. Despite diagnoses like Anxiety, Depression and PTSD and the pain of those - there is an inner glimmer, suggesting that a different way is possible. Together we tend that inner glimmer and support you in feeling a deeper connection to your body, your mind, your spirit.

People are hurting and need connection with others to heal. Sometimes that connection can feel scary and overwhelming. Sometimes the very people who were the ones supposed to provide that connection actually caused the injury. Vulnerability to healing from depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and general life stress can seem like a daunting task.

Have you ever noticed the physical sensations of feelings? The knot in your throat when you feel sadness, the butterflies and turns in your stomach when you are anxious, the tension in your back and shoulders when you are overwhelmed and stressed? Trauma, feelings, and stress manifest in our bodies. As a therapist, I have a diverse range of skills and experience. Therapy sessions with me are as unique as each person I work with. When therapy is holistic and can incorporate your emotional needs alongside your physical sensations you can have a deeper approach to healing and wellness.

Our experiences impact who we are, the positive ones stay with us, but the negative ones stay with us as well. The relationships we have had throughout our lives are also deeply influential in shaping who we are and how we feel and behave in our current environment. Therapy gives us a deeper understanding of who we are and how our relationships and experiences have impacted us. Through a deeper awareness we have more control over how we'd like to show up in our lives. I specialize in Eating Disorders, Trauma, PTSD, ASD, anxiety and depression.

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.
