Within these populations, I am effective with both willing and less willing clients experiencing a variety of needs and goals related to school, behavior, mental health, family issues, and relational dynamics. It is my goal to facilitate growth to achieve personal wellness that allows for clients to continue their growth and wellness journey without my support over the long term.

I am also very passionate about women's issues, supporting folks in the LGBTQQIA+ community.
Prioritizing yourself, and your wellness can be difficult, especially in our turbulent and polarized world. I would be honored to help you create a safe space where you can completely be yourself, and accepted for who that is. I am always amazed at the resilience and potential each of my clients have, and I would love to help you tap into that. I believe that an authentic relationship between the counselor and client is really important for change, and I know I am not always the right fit for all clients, so if I'm not your cup of tea, I will help you find the counselor that is! I also provide PCLC supervision under my practice.

I provide care to teens & adults looking for compassionate and authentic support as they navigate transitions, relationships & the ever-present trauma of late-stage capitalism. I use a collaborative approach to help clients process how complex systems (such as family, school, work & healthcare) and -isms (capitalism, ableism, racism, cisism, etc.) have altered their sense of self and belonging. I am passionate about helping others unlearn while building skills to re-attune to gut instincts, harness their strengths & grow meaningful connections with self & others while deepening their understanding of their place in this wild world.

Past experiences can often leave a person feeling mentally, emotionally, and physically dysregulated. I help clients increase awareness of how their present mind-body experience can be rooted in the past. I work collaboratively to honor the wisdom of this past experience, while moving toward a more embodied way of living in the present moment.

My practice is primarily focused on providing affirmative care for those who are exploring their gender identity – across the lifespan and along the gender spectrum. If you are seeking support around issues of gender identity, I will provide you with a supportive relationship - without expectation, agenda or judgment - within which to explore whatever questions you may be asking. My role in this process is not to define your identity for you, but to provide the space within which you can do that for yourself.

Making the step to engage in therapy is vulnerable and takes courage. I believe the counseling space should be safe and nonjudgmental. I engage counseling with a person-centered approach, you are the expert on yourself. I see each human as uniquely designed and therefore I do not see counseling as "one size fits all." With taking time to hear your story and build trust with you, I know that change can occur. I welcome you to find a place that holds both security and growth that might feel uncomfortable. With curiosity, compassion and an open mind, we can make this space beneficial for you.

Being human is hard. You try to do your best, but it seems you can’t make the progress you want. You might feel stuck or hopeless. Negative thoughts and difficult emotions can be overwhelming and they can steal your joy and motivation. Whether you are experiencing loss, relationship struggles, excessive worry, or despair, the pain can be immobilizing. But it's entirely true that wellness and growth are possible for you. Together, we can help you unhook from negative thoughts and connect with what is meaningful to you.

I also work with women around perinatal issues (pregnancy and postpartum).
My way of working as a therapist is centered on the notion that change occurs through relationship, both with ourselves and with other people. Therapy is a collaborative journey toward deeper self understanding, self empowerment and ultimately, healing. My role as your therapist is to come alongside you and provide a safe, non-judgmental and encouraging space to explore what makes you you. My hope is that therapy will be a safe space for you to explore areas in your life where you may be feeling stuck or that you are interested in exploring further.

Psychotherapy can be hard. At times, therapy can involve discussing aspects of your history that can feel uncomfortable. Sometimes this process can induce temporary feelings like grief, anger, or anxiety. My goal for our therapeutic relationship is to stay engaged in understanding and moving through your "stuff" in order for you to have good problem solving and good relationships. Your progress through these issues is not a race. We will work together to find the most effective way to improve the quality of your life with the least amount of disruption and distress.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as 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 ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
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—both men and women—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.
