Traditional talk therapy utilizes a variety of techniques and modalities through which you, the client, can learn about yourself and make changes in your life.  Rather than the historical "medical model" approach, I believe that you have the ability to make changes within yourself and in your own life once you are able to understand what gets in your way.  I draw upon both eastern and western philosophies to support your body, mind and spirit while you undertake this process.  

Therapeutic Specialties

• Women's Issues: As a woman, I understand the issues relating to gender, privilege and equality that are uniquely ours. I can offer insight, support and understanding to women who are going through normal life transitions as well as issues pertaining to women's health, relationships and identity.

• Anxiety: Due to a multitude of biochemical, genetic and environmental factors, more people struggle with anxiety than ever before. I can offer you techniques including mindfullness, breathing and relaxation techniques to manage your emotions, while we explore factors in your life which contribute to your anxiety and stress.

• Issues related to Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity. Sexual orientation and gender identity are by no means disorders or issues. Being a member of an oppressed group does bring with it its own set of challenges. I offer a safe space of understanding and support to deal with whatever issues are identified for change.

• Trauma: As a trauma-informed therapist, I believe that early experiences can effect our brains, bodies and behavior for years afterwards. I can help clients identify, address and move through traumatic experiences to reduce residual traumatic effects.
