I'm overwhelmed, I don't know what to do! How many times have you said that to yourself? Where is this thought pattern coming from? Is it anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma? Trauma effects many of us in multiple ways. From attachment wounds to developmental to historical to environmental, each trauma can cause a change in our behavior, the way we perceive the world, the lens how we focus. However, trauma therapy can help you find the underlying issues and allow you to live a full and healthy lives.

If you're stressed, depressed, anxious or have experienced a life changing event, counseling helps you learn coping skills to become happier. You'll be in a nonjudgmental environment as we work together for you to regain resilience. Reliving the past does not necessarily relieve it but as a solution-focused therapist, I help you listen to yourself and explore the most authentic and best options for you. You have your own answers and it's an honor to assist you in your healing or life coaching.

As a couple and family therapist, I love to help people address all kinds of relational issues. Relationship concerns often look different for different people, but to me they include anything that negatively impacts you or how you interact with people in your life. I believe the stories we tell ourselves have a very powerful impact on our lives and how we see the world. Many times, those stories end up holding us back in some way. I guide the process as you change them to be more in line with the life you want to live. My goal is to help people create a life where they feel empowered, courageous, and authentic.

It is easy to feel anxious, depressed, have low self esteem, or grief. Maybe you are in a difficult relationship where your needs aren't being met, or are recovering from some form of infidelity. I believe healing can be found with self exploration, conversation and the support of a compassionate therapist. I work to make sure you feel safe to take time, breathe, feel free to process your thoughts (big or small), cry, shout, and laugh. It is through this process I hope you will find healing and strength.

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.
