Compassionate, respectful and straightforward psychotherapy. I work with people who are struggling with decisions, feelings and situations that may feel unmanageable. This can look like renegotiating your relationship with substance use, exploring relationship stress, learning about boundaries, managing the demands of care-giving, coping with chronic pain and illness, grieving a loss or some combination of all of the above. I do a lot of listening. But therapy also looks like practicing grounding exercises to learn how to calm an anxiety attack, creating a family tree or gaining new insight on the story of your life.

Ideal client: families with adult children, couples, individuals seeking support with relationships or life transitions; folks considering gender transition interventions who desire to make informed decisions. (Note: I do not write letters of recommendation for gender-affirming medical tx.; I will sometimes make referrals.) I believe health and happiness exists when people feel their feelings, discover safety and connection in the present, continuously learn about their environment, take care of their bodies, trust their power and/or a Higher Power to create a life that mirrors the Love that they are, and question their thoughts.

Welcome! I’m a therapist specializing in working with folks going through life transitions. Whether that means working through grief and loss, exploring one's identity, divorce, a career change, starting over in a new place, a medical event that results in a change in lifestyle, or stopping a habit that no longer serves you. I really enjoy helping people discover what gives their life meaning and exploring the big questions. I like getting philosophical! I'm also a big proponent of narrative therapy- owning your story and telling it the way you want to tell it rather than the way people tell it to you.

You constantly worry about not doing enough or being enough, relentlessly judge and criticize yourself (maybe even thinking this is the best way to grow and learn), feel exhausted from overthinking everything. Many people are surprised to find out that even helpful strategies can backfire: perfectionism can become obsessive fault-finding, wanting to feel "prepared" can become a pattern of never trusting that you're ready. If you are looking for a therapist who can help you finally start to loosen that knot of worry and move towards feeling confident, grounded, and calm, let’s set up a time to start the conversation.

See More Female Therapists 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.
