We live in a world that places numerous pressures on us as caregivers, employees and partners. The pressure and the expectations of others, and those that we place on ourselves, can sometimes feel overwhelming and unsustainable. I feel passionate about giving individuals and couples the tools to prioritize themselves and their relationships in these hectic times. I believe that when we are tested, personally or professionally, it can be a great opportunity to bring in growth and healing.

I offer somatic psychotherapy (touch and tablework) for people who are working on trauma, relationship and attachment issues. This work may also bring up family of origin issues that may also be unresolved. I combine somatic, IFS, and attachment modalities. My somatic training also provides expertise in helping those with chronic illness or pain and how this is related to mental health. Somatic work also is for those with after-effects of surgeries or accidents.

I navigate from the belief that we all want to see and be seen well and to engage in complete freedom to be all that we are. As a therapist, my hope is that you will find that here. I practice psychotherapy through various modalities including psychodynamic, attachment-based, somatic attention, and trauma-informed theories. However, my foundational approach is Relational. I believe that if our wounds begin in relationship, they can only find healing within a restorative one.

On the outside, it may appear you have it all together. Internally, you're exhausted. You might have vowed to do things differently a hundred times, and it feels like nothing works. Maybe you feel like you can't be anything less than perfect--or whom others expect you to be. It may feel like you barely recognize yourself, or you wonder how you've ended up "here". That inner voice might say "this is as good as it gets", or "why keep trying?", but change is possible and you are worth it. I specialize in working with folks who live with eating disorders, are experiencing body image concerns, and those in the LGBTQ+ community.

I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with issues of self-worth and low self esteem. Those negative beliefs color how we see ourselves and how we relate to others, often resulting in a cycle of recurring frustration and depression. Working with you to identify your strengths (even if you've forgotten them), we will collaborate in finding practical ways that can lead to lasting change & happiness. Since I am also an artist, I help you regain your ability to envision how you want to be going forward.

If you struggle with loneliness, depression and anxiety. If you struggle in your relationships to feel fulfilled and nourished because of experiences in your childhood, we are a good fit!

I work in a direct but compassionate way to navigate through these painful experiences in order to get more of your needs met and to experience more fulfilling relationships. We work together to find what suits you and your needs.

Start-up founders often suffer from a great deal of anxiety, depression, stress and isolation. Anger may be a problem for you as well. While we work on these issues, we also work on individual leadership style and visions for the future. Previous or current addictions, broken relationships, and childhood trauma are often present in our work together. A deep understanding of how your past affects your present helps build and create healthy professional and personal relationships. We also examine existential themes in your life: use of power, creating meaning and purpose, responsibility, regrets.

I'm here to help you get free of the past, and move into a healthy and happy life with fulfilling and rewarding relationships. I specialize in healing options that are designed to help you deal with emotional pain, relationship issues, family conflicts, lifestyle changes and more.

Life is hard and suffering is normal. It’s an inevitable part of being human. Most of us, often from a young age, develop different patterns or defenses to manage our suffering in order to keep our heads above water. This can look like many different things: numbing our emotions, self-criticism, addiction, anxiety, self-sabotage - the list goes on. We do these things not because anything is inherently wrong with us, but because for a long time, these patterns help us survive. Clients often come to me when they reconcile the fact that these patterns are no longer working - and instead, they’re making them miserable.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck or immobilized by indecision in relationships, career choices, etc? Do peace and happiness feel just beyond your grasp? Does it feel like you keep re-living the same patterns in relationships and arguments, that just aren't working for you or your partner anymore? I am passionate about empowering women, men, and teens as they navigate tough issues such as perfectionism, indecision, relationship difficulties, and the aftermath of trauma. I also enjoy assisting couples as we explore the complexities of communication, intimacy, connection, and what it means to foster a satisfying relationship.

Congratulations on taking a step towards healing! I have experience working with concerns around sex and sexuality (LGBTQIA+ welcomed), substance use/addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, family of origin, support with work/life balance, medical professionals with vicarious trauma, isolation and loneliness, support with healthy attachment. The most important variable in successful therapy is the individual's feelings of trust and safety with the therapist. My first goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable to be yourself.

Hi there. First, I'd like to wish you well -- especially as you work with a psychotherapist for movement in both your inner and outer lives, including in your relationships. Because each person and each relationship is unique, I've developed a variety of ways to do psychotherapy and relationship therapy that help individuals ascend and help couples relate more smoothly. Working with thoughts and feelings, with mind and with heart, people can move through what is in the way, blocking them from feeling better and being better. I'm honored to help with that movement.

Feeling overwhelmed? Maybe you have gotten stuck thinking in circles about problems only to get nowhere and feel worse. You may be feeling scared, enraged, or hopeless. Strong emotions may be frustrating and disorienting. This can make it difficult to communicate with others, leaving you feeling even more alone. Together, we can decipher what messages these strong emotions are sending. I will not try to “fix” or change you. As we build a relationship and you tell your story, I will stay present, listen to understand, and provide warm, direct, and nonjudgmental feedback, allowing you to be exactly as you are.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
