I enjoy working with people who are struggling with infertility, perinatal concerns, and new parenthood. I am especially interested in supporting those who desire to build their own families and need emotional support through the process of infertility, fertility treatments, and exploring various pathways to parenthood such as surrogacy and adoption. I am a strong advocate for maternal mental health and I believe more support for mothers is needed in our society after birth and adoption. I also enjoy working with those who are going through transitions in life, whether that is due to relationship changes, a move or change in job.

Maybe your life has gotten to a place where you know it needs to change, but you feel stuck and scared. Or perhaps your life just got turned upside down—a loss, a crisis, a sudden wake-up call—and you’re not sure where to turn. Then again, you might be in a place where things are basically okay. But you yearn for a greater sense of purpose and aliveness. Whatever your specific situation, if you’re ready to take the risk of changing your life for the better, then I’m here to support, guide, and collaborate with you in making that happen.

I have immediate openings for nature-based, virtual, and in office sessions! Constantly feel like you're not good enough? Logically, you know what you "should" do, but can't seem to apply it. Maybe you're burnt out and struggling to find energy to enjoy life again. It's easy get stuck in shame and self-invalidation when our life isn't what we want it to be. We will explore the ingrained beliefs and patterns that contribute to your suffering. Whether on the couch or outside, my goal is to help you feel deeply seen and understood as we find ways for your every day life to align with your values.

Many of us relate to ourselves and others with a nagging sense that we are not enough, that we neither project nor embody the person we want to be. We operate from the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves and that others tell about us – and often, these lenses focus on our perceived deficiencies, mistakes, and shame-filled moments. We tend to be our own harshest critics. In our work together, I will help you identify the stories that shape your life. We will explore how these stories support and challenge how you want to show up for yourself, your relationships, and the world.

I want to fully understand what's on your mind and explore all the angles with you. Many of your maladaptive thoughts and behaviors have been modeled to you for a lifetime, and when we start from there, you will see it’s not your fault and you’re not alone. Although I always come with compassion, I do not aim to dismiss your behaviors. I aim to expose them with you and help you observe what 'is', and take action from that place. There is always a transpersonal undertone, and our exploration will consist of breaking down the truth behind your thoughts and beliefs, which will gradually lead to innate peace and wholeness.

Are you tired of feeling limited by your fears, overwhelmed by unwanted panic attacks or worn out by staying small in relationships so you don’t seem like “too much”? You may find yourself constantly worrying no matter what you do. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to quiet the constant “what-if’s” in your head and live your life. You’re ready to feel capable in handling what life throws at you. Most of all, you’re ready to feel peace, confidence, and fulfillment again.

“Psychoanalysis, at its core, heals through love. Often, you may feel pain and anguish without knowing where it truly began. In a safe, non-judgmental space, in the hands of a qualified professional, you will walk an unknown path—exploring hidden places, uncovering your story, and gaining the chance to rewrite your future.”

I specialize in working with individuals who are outwardly successful, but privately overwhelmed. You’re the one others turn to—the one who always gets it done—even when it costs you sleep, peace, or joy. You’re a driven professional or student with high standards. You're used to holding it all together, even when you're quietly unraveling on the inside. You might be ambitious, capable, and deeply caring—but you’re also tired. You overthink, overperform, and put your own needs last. My clients are growth-minded people who are ready for change. They want more than just coping—they want a deeper sense of meaning and self-trust.

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.
