Have you ever woken up and felt like getting out of bed was like trying to climb Mount Everest, but no one understood? Ever just thought about work and felt fear clawing at your chest and throat? Have you been told you were not “trying hard enough” or were just “unmotivated” or “lazy” when behind the scenes you try so hard it overwhelmed you? I have, and you are not alone. Now imagine waking up, jumping out of bed, feeling refreshed. Imagine knowing that despite the challenges you face you can succeed and it “fills you with determination”. Imagine that, even on the worse days, you know “this too shall pass”.

You've spent decades showing up for everyone else. And now — somewhere in your 30s, 40s, or 50s — something has shifted. Your sleep is fractured. Emotions feel out of sync. Your focus slips in ways that scare you. Your sense of self feels blurry.
No one prepared you for this. Maybe doctors have told you it's "just stress" or "just aging." But what you're experiencing has a neurological explanation. Perimenopause and menopause change your brain, not just your body. That's not weakness. That's biology meeting an unsupported life transition.

My goal is not only finding the safe, confidential space within therapy but also the ability for each individual to walk away with a greater sense of connection and understanding of themselves, while also feeling supported and accepted on your terms. With this increased acceptance of self you are able to focus on your present and future goals, relationships with others and manage emotions in a healthier manner. This road can be difficult at times, but taking the first step with starting therapy can help you achieve what you envision for your life.

Do you feel overwhelmed and burnt out, unable to say "no" to others? Do you constantly go out of your way for everyone else, hoping to receive the same in return? Maybe you're struggling to understand who you are or dealing with feelings of not being good enough. I help people like you navigate parenting, build self-confidence, challenge anxious thoughts, and establish healthy boundaries. It might seem impossible to make changes. Prioritizing yourself may even feel selfish, but you deserve the same love you give others.

Maybe you’ve reached a point in life where you’re thinking, “Okay…this isn’t exactly how I pictured things going” A relationship has changed, your kids are growing up, your career feels different, or you’ve simply gotten really good at taking care of everyone else and forgotten to check in with yourself.
I especially enjoy working with women navigating life transitions and young adults figuring out who they are, what they want, and where they’re headed. You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes you just know something needs to change—you just haven’t figured out what the hell that looks like yet.

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.
