Welcome! I am so glad that you’ve made it here. Should you be reading this, you may currently be experiencing anxiety, sadness, loneliness, loss, or other overwhelming emotions. As humans who experience pain, we often work so hard to avoid those painful emotions, which often leads to greater distress and feelings of living inauthentically. I work with individuals to acknowledge their emotions, to come to a greater understanding of their emotional experience, and to navigate paths towards healing and growth. You are very worthy of this pursuit.

Every one of us is unique and knowing that, I practice from an individualized and holistic point of view. I am also a trained herbalist and have seen clients in that capacity since 2019. I believe my training in that realm allows for a more enriched and informed view of healing and recovery. My ideal client is someone who knows the potential to be the best version of themselves is there, but they may be just stuck in a patten of addictive cycles. They are open to sharing, willing to put in the work and try new things. I look at your diet, lifestyle, life experiences, family history and more to create a personalized plan.

I especially enjoy working with women who are looking to grow in areas around body image, anxiety, and food and exercise related concerns.
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.

I provide care to those 16+ 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 world.

I have experience with a broad range of issues and encourage an honest, relationship-based approach to therapy. We work together to explore the issues most important to you. I believe that everyone is capable of change, though easy to say, it is very challenging to put into action. Therapy can create a safe space to reflect upon your world and history. It is a mindful process to accept and redefine yourself. It is a space to look at what parts are activated in your life and which parts feel quiet.

Everyone deserves a life of wholeness and belonging. I aim to help you strengthen your connection with yourself, those close to you, and the larger world around you. I specialize in working with trauma, grief, self-worth, and communication. My therapeutic style is warm and accepting. Even though therapy can be intense, I tend towards levity and see joy and humor as a critical part of my work. My Alaskan wilderness upbringing has given me confidence in everyone's capacity for self-sufficiency and resilience, and years of work internationally and with Tribes have instilled a deep admiration and acceptance for diverse life experiences.

Do you feel stuck in communicating with your partner, having the same arguments over and over; you can't seem to work through things? I can help you identify that negative pattern, and learn to step out of it and rediscover love and happiness. I do that with couples by looking at the ways that they get stuck or disconnected. Maybe you are also struggling with feeling the need for more comfort or understanding or needing to regain lost trust. What you and I will do is look at what prevents those things from happening right now in your relationship.

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.
