It feels like everyone else got the handbook to adult life while you’re left struggling with crippling anxiety and uncertainty. Even your inner voice seems to work against you, whispering seeds of doubt into your mind, telling you that everything you do is wrong. The need for constant hyper-vigilance causes you to spiral into a state of unease, making even simple decisions feel overwhelming. Something has derailed your path, and you can’t seem to find a way back. These struggles have disrupted your sense of stability and made it hard to find peace in everyday life.

The longest and most important relationship we will ever have is with ourselves. We spend so much time focusing on external things that we struggle to stop long enough to check in with our internal world. Our fast-paced world often pulls our attention in many directions simultaneously, and we are constantly multitasking. When we fail to do things perfectly, we struggle with shame, judgment, blame, self-criticism, and heightened anxiety. This often drives us towards burnout and fatigue. How do we slow down? How do we improve our relationships? How do we better use our time? How do we increase our self-compassion?

Hello! I work with individuals and couples making their way through tough situations. My goal is to support your most authentic well-being; helping you reclaim your essential self by examining beliefs that can lock in difficult relationship dynamics and constrain your deepest longings, guiding the process of peacefully resolving inner conflict you may experience, and supporting your personal growth through challenging times.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative and hopeful. I have extensive experience working with individuals dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, interpersonal violence and complex relational crises. It can be a challenge to remain present and functional in life when dealing with unresolved confusion and pain. Therapy can create space to view what’s obscured by stress/fear and develop capacity to attend to it. I offer talk therapy, somatic interventions (including EMDR, mindfulness activities & visualization), and reflective practice - there are many paths that can lead to reconnection and joy.

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.
