One of my core beliefs is that all of us deserve space to connect and play in a way that allows us to show up as our whole selves. Connecting with that joy can feel daunting when communication no longer feels reliable or we're struggling to identify what brings us that sense of excitement. Through collaboration and transparency, I aim to create an affirming space that fosters growth and embraces all your identities.

Young adulthood is an exciting time of growth and change. It can also be a time of stress and uncertainty as you navigate new directions in your life. During this time, we often feel challenged by new phases in our work, school, and relationships. You are moving toward independence and forming your identity while dealing with questions about your future. You may be struggling with your sense of meaning and purpose, or afraid to disappoint your family. Old coping skills aren't as effective anymore, or you may be concerned about your ability to cope in healthy ways. Having a safe space to work through these issues is so important!

I work with children, adolescents, and young adults, believing that the therapeutic process is strengthened by establishing a trusting and empathetic relationship. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals to explore and process their experiences. Many children, teens, and young adults face various emotional challenges, and therapy can help them examine different aspects of their lives while learning skills to enhance their self-esteem and cope with their situations.

Absolutely, many individuals today are indeed facing challenges like depression and anxiety. Self-reflection can be a powerful tool in this journey toward recovery. By taking the time to understand our thoughts and feelings, we can reframe negative perspectives and focus on the positive aspects of our lives, even in difficult situations. The idea that "two heads think better than one" also highlights the importance of seeking support, whether from therapists, friends, or family. Engaging in conversations about our experiences can lead to new insights and coping strategies. I'd like to discuss this further.

When we invest in the process of self-inquiry we expand our capacity for living an authentic life. Having a supportive and nonjudgmental environment in which to do this can make all the difference. Holding space for my client's exploration is a privilege, therefore, the therapeutic relationship is based on respect, presence, and at times, the challenge of finding answers to difficult questions.

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.
