Many people move through life feeling disconnected from themselves, from others, and from the present moment. My 20 years of clinical experience have shown me how often this disconnection is rooted in emotional weight carried from the past. You might find yourself going through the motions, stuck in patterns formed long ago out of necessity or survival that now keeping you from the connections and emotional depths that you long for.
My experience creating safe and affirming spaces has shown me how powerful therapy can be in helping people reconnect with themselves, shift long-standing patterns, and build meaningful relationships.

High-achievers are often the point person at home, work, and with friends because they get things done. But all the doing, and maybe people-pleasing, can leave you feeling drained. If you're ready to feel relief, sleep through the night, and take care of yourself without guilt, we would be a good fit. I work collaboratively with clients to identify and modify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. We set clear, achievable goals and create actionable steps towards achieving them. My ultimate aim is to help my clients connect with their core values and live a balanced, fulfilling life that aligns with their true selves.

Life can be relentless and present challenges that feel overwhelming. It takes strength to ask for help and courage to become vulnerable with someone new. I recognize this and will work at your pace to form a trusting relationship with you where you can feel safe, validated, and respected. I have experience working with teens and adults who find themselves worrying about the future or things they cannot control. I have worked with people who are processing past hurtful and stressful life events so they can find a sense of strength and security in the present. I enjoy helping people see their worth so their self-talk transforms.

Women's issues are of special importance to me.
We all have times in our lives when we need additional support and help. For my clients, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to work through these issues and to learn valuable new tools for coping. I love helping those who feel anxious, stuck, depressed, "in a rut", to make long term changes. I work with adults (college students, young adults, parents, creatives, professionals, older adults) who are experiencing anxiety, depression, irritability, relationship issues, trouble relaxing, excessive worrying, and difficulty with life transitions.

I help women and teen girls who are hidden, passive and lacking their authenticity come out of hiding through vulnerability, transparency and radical acceptance. My work focuses on identifying unhealthy thought patterns & mental blocks. My work also involves teaching skills to assist you with improving communication, building confidence & healthy relationships. I also use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients safely process and heal from trauma and distressing life experiences.

I believe the first and most sacred job of a therapist is to create a safe, nurturing space where you are fully seen and heard. From that space, I will walk with you along your path of growth and healing, helping to guide you on your journey. If you struggle with mood or anxiety, want to resolve issues from your past, feel overwhelmed navigating life changes, or simply need support, I can help you untangle the threads and begin to get relief.

Quite often a specific event may bring you to therapy, but there is a lifetime that you bring along with you. Most of my focus over the years has been helping survivors of trauma (intimate partner violence, sexual abuse, stalking, crime, and anxiety) be able to breathe again. I would describe my style as eclectic, using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Metaphors, and Art Therapy. I enjoy working with college students, young adults, adults, and those in their senior years.

Fit in everywhere and nowhere at the same time? I get it. I help diverse women who juggle multiple cultural identities heal. Maybe you’re the child of immigrants, multiracial or a racially ambiguous chameleon, an expat, “third culture kid”, bilingual (or sad you lost your parent’s language), feel culturally displaced, part of a religious minority, or just don’t quite fit into any one box. You probably feel suffocated by the drive to overfunction, perform, and be what everyone else needs you to be. You might find it hard to get your own needs met and feel unsettled in yourself and your relationships.

8am appointments! Many of the women I work with are highly capable leaders who feel they must conceal their vulnerabilities to protect themselves and others. They hold senior roles, carry significant responsibility, and navigate complex professional and personal relationships with limited space to be fully honest. As visibility and influence increase, so do relational and political challenges. The need for trustworthy, soft spaces becomes an imperative in order to sustain. Therapy offers a confidential place to slow down, clarify values, strengthen boundaries, and make thoughtful decisions rather than reactive ones.

Accepting new clients! You’ve been carrying more than most people realize. Maybe you’ve been living with chronic pain, navigating a complicated medical diagnosis, or trying to show up for your family while your own body feels unpredictable. Maybe you’re a mother (new or seasoned) who feels exhausted, stretched thin, and unsure who’s taking care of you. Or maybe you’re supporting a child who’s struggling, and you’re tired of feeling like no one fully hears your concerns. If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

I have an eclectic approach in terms of therapy models. I believe every individual benefits from a different combination of techniques. As an individual grows and changes techniques must be adapted and change as well. I use a lot of cognitive behavioral therapy, particularly acceptance and commitment therapy. Mindfulness and trauma focused therapy are also in heavy rotation and I back it all up with a lot of psycho-education. I believe it's important for clients to understand why they are responding to life the way they do so that they can create new patterns in their 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.
