How can I help you?

I specialize in working with women struggling with anxiety and some of the common co-occurring issues that can exist alongside those intense experiences of overwhelm.

I focus on helping those who tend to put their own needs on the back burner.  Self-neglect, over-responsibility, flimsy boundaries, always saying "yes", unable to relax, feeling tense or sick to your stomach - if any of that sounds familiar, you've come to the right place. 

I will always cater to your individual needs and consider myself an "eclectic" therapist with a quirky side! I often use the following modalities when working with clients:

​

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (the fancy name for "shifting mindset" and "identifying common thought distortions that cause us a whole lot of pain") 

​

Somatic Therapy (the fancy name for understanding how trauma can impact us on a mind/body level - and how getting back into our bodies (and out of our heads for a bit) can be a powerful way of healing)

​

Attachment Theory (the fancy name for connecting early childhood experiences with current behavioral and thought patterns, especially in relationships)

​

Solution Focused (this one is exactly how it sounds - we collaborate to help you set attainable changes to get the results you are seeking)

​

​Jungian Shadow Work (the fancy way of saying we are going to try to uncover the things we try really hard to push away or feel ashamed of- that stuff becomes toxic to us and like Hagrid says in Harry Potter "Better out than in.")

​

I am also a therapist who is.....
 

  • LGBTQ+ Allied 

  • Sex Positive - Meaning - there is no judgement and yes, you can absolutely talk about anything related to sex in this space

  • Body Neutral - sensitive and open to working with individuals who are seeking changes in their bodies in healthy ways 

  • Culturally Sensitive 

  • Teachable and willing to acknowledge that I don't know everything - I always welcome speaking up if something doesn't resonate with you in our sessions!

  • Secular but open to all beliefs - if you are searching specifically for a Christian Counselor, I have some wonderful colleagues who I can refer to! Please ask!
