If you’re a woman who often feels worried, stressed, or disconnected from relationships or activities you used to enjoy, I welcome hearing from you. I frequently work with women who appear to have it all together, but who are quietly struggling to relax, implement healthy boundaries, who feel “tired and wired” or just plain worn out. With more than two decades of experience, I offer a gentle, integrative approach to therapy for anxiety, depression, and the impact of life stressors of many kinds. Women navigating midlife and those who identify as sensitive (or Highly Sensitive) often particularly like my practice and approach.
I blend talk therapy with more somatic/body-based tools and understanding. We can explore the unique needs and stress triggers for your nervous system, somatic resourcing techniques to help you feel more grounded, and self-compassion practices to soften inner criticism. I also offer the Flash Technique (from EMDR) for difficult or painful stuck memories.
While my practice currently specializes in women’s wellness, I welcome inquiries from individuals of all genders and gender identities. Email to schedule a meet and greet introductory call. I’m happy to answer your questions and explore working together.
