Every human being has a true genuine authentic self. Trauma is the disconnection from it and healing is the reconnection to it. - Dr. Gabor Mate
Life is full of beauty and hardship. We all have experiences that shape who we are, how we feel, and what we believe about ourselves. Sometimes we need a brave space to explore and heal our wounds. From young professionals to helping professionals to new moms to folks in the LGBTQ+ community, I invite deep exploration and support clients to develop understanding of how the adversities they've faced impact their minds, bodies, and spirits.

Sometimes we need help. Therapy with a provider that you feel safe and understood by can help you to reach your goals.

You’re holding it together on the outside, but on the inside the cracks are starting to show.
Maybe it’s the performance anxiety that paralyzes you, or the trauma that sneaks up on you at the worst possible moment.
ADHD doesn’t help either, turning a quick trip to grab feed into a two-hour escapade that ends with a reorganized tack room but no grain in sight.
You keep telling yourself, I’ve got this, but deep down, you’re tired of holding it all together with duct tape, caffeine, and a prayer.

So many of us struggle with having the courage to be ourselves and to live authentically. It’s uncomfortable, it makes us feel vulnerable, and we fear the possible consequences – What will I lose? What will I have to change? Will people judge me or not like me? It’s also really hard to hear and trust our inner knowing. There are so many things influencing our choices and we often betray ourselves by not listening to what feels true to us.

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.
