After 10+ years of professional training & experience, I've developed an expertise in
women's issues
.
Do you need a space where you feel heard & understood? Do you feel disconnected from the person you were before...before kids, before marriage, before you took on the world? Are you a new mama or more "seasoned"? Are you a woman who wants to learn how to better manage your emotions? Many times, as women, we are expected to be the burden bearers for everyone in our lives while our cups are full; we are often expected to be superwomen while we suffer in silence. If this is you, let me help you empty some of the contents of your cup so that you can come back to a place where you feel connected to you.

I have clinical and research experience in self-care, positive psychology, life transitions, communication problems,
women's issues
, and developing passions and purpose.
My passion is integrating positive psychology and a person-centered approach in therapy. I am motivated to help clients who have already started their personal journey. Perhaps you have already graduated from other therapists or accomplished some of your goals but are feeling stuck in progressing to the next level. I can help you achieve a higher level of belief in yourself than you originally thought was possible. I do this by helping you challenge negative core beliefs, realize authentic life goals, and identify your unique strengths and growth areas to work toward self-actualization.

We all feel stuck at times. Perhaps, it's those persistent unhelpful old patterns we keep repeating. Therapy will provide you the opportunity to gain insight into yourself and adopt skills needed to make the changes to have a better life. My clients describe me as engaging, compassionate and easy to talk to. While validating and empathizing with you, I also offer alternative ways of looking at situations. Sometimes just having someone to listen to you, can bring you tremendous relief. Together we will strategize effective coping skills just for you, that will give you the ability to move through this process called life.

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.
