Areas of Expertise
Therapy is hard work and can sometimes feel like a literal journey! The therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is a critical part of that work. My focus is building a strong therapeutic alliance so that you can feel seen, heard, supported and understood while digging deep, being challenged and taking your journey of personal growth at your own pace. I specialize in the following areas…
Coming Out Later in Life
I help women navigate the often tumultous, yet liberating journey of coming out later in life. It can be a difficult, scary and isolating feeling to leave what's familiar and step into a new life. I understand this first hand. I support women through their journey of self-discovery and help them live a life of true alignment.
Couples
All relationships require work from time to time in order to maintain or re-establish healthy connection. Using a variety of experiential techniques, I help couples learn better ways of communicating and relating to one another. For those couples who are considering redefining or expanding their partnership, I help couples prepare for and navigate various forms of ethical non-monogamy.
Trauma
Be it a one time event or an ongoing experience, trauma can have a lasting impact on our lives. It can dictate how we see the world, the people around us and especially ourselves. Using a variety of evidenced based interventions, I help clients to understand the role that trauma has played in their life, begin to heal the wounds it left behind and start to tell themselves a different story.
Sexual Identity
Which ever color represents you or if you are trying to figure it out, you are welcome here! I work with clients of all ages who are navigating the journey of self actualization. I assist clients with surgery letters, connecting them with other gender affirming services and holding space for inner exploration.
Stress & Anxiety
Work, family, partners, current events, relationships, even our own thoughts can be a source of stress and anxiety. I assist clients with getting a handle on their anxiety by interrupting negative thought patterns and learning new ways to 'mind your mind. I teach clients about how stress manifests in the body, how to build a new relationship with their body in order to manage life’s stressors.
