I specialize in trauma/PTSD, grief/loss,
women's issues
, relationship issues, stress management, anxiety and helping to create new and meaningful changes by clearing out old patterns/roles that no longer serve you.
Asking for help takes courage and is a big step in the right direction! Possibly you have emotional pain from a previous trauma, loss or life transition. You may be experiencing trauma symptoms or grief from a new loss or a previous loss. Perhaps you are dealing with increased stress or anxiety. Or you might be seeking to create new routines, roles and patterns in your life or relationships by healing old attachment wounds. Therapy can help guide you in the direction you want to go, help move you through the pain, and back into a place of joy.

You are not alone. I specialize in working with driven, highly-motivated emerging adults who are struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt.

Hello all. I am dedicated to partnering with you to create a life worth living in the midst of life transitions and challenges. I provide a warm and nonjudgmental place, helping clients to tap into strengths, develop new insights and skills, build greater self-awareness, understand and express their emotions, and accept and love themselves. As humans, we are designed to experience a range of emotions that provide us information about our needs and what is important in our lives. We often get stuck when we attempt to avoid our own emotional experiences, leaving us feeling depleted, hopeless, and confused.

Is the transition to motherhood more difficult than you expected? Do you wonder what you're doing wrong? You may be tired of the sadness, guilt, worry, scary thoughts, and anger. You may be feeling disconnected and isolated, wondering if you're cut out for motherhood. You might not even remember how you felt before all of this started. But one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to start feeling like yourself again. You're ready to reconnect with your loved ones and enjoy your children. Most of all, you're ready to find joy and contentment in motherhood.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have specialized expertise in anxiety and family systems. My clinical work is grounded in evidenced-based treatment approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure with Response Prevention, Parent Management Training, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). During care, I give ample attention to the family system as I have found understanding the context in which one lives provides insight for how to optimize symptom reduction and enhance overall functioning.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
