I recognize that our world may cause us harm, whether intentional or unintentional. My hope in our work together is to separate any harm experienced from serving as a defining characteristic of your personhood. In my practice, my goal is to honor and uplift your unique light with the hope that you may grow more comfortable in sharing it with others in this world. We all carry an inner light, though adversity can sometimes dim its unique glow. I believe that our bodies are vessels of deep wisdom and discernment — learning to attune to that wisdom can transform how we live.

I provide services to teens and adults who are ready to better understand themselves, heal from difficult experiences, and create meaningful change in their lives. Many come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, relationship challenges, or major life transitions. Others seek support in developing healthier coping skills, improving emotional regulation, or breaking patterns that no longer serve them. My goal is to help people gain insight, develop practical tools, strengthen resilience, and move forward with greater confidence, balance, and emotional well-being.

Congratulations!, on taking the first step to healing and growth. The relationships that we have with our families, friends and peers etc., vastly impact the ways that we view the world and how we cope with our difficulties. As we experience difficult times in our lives, it is easy to feel alone and feel like others cannot understand. I seek to be a source of support during those times. Working to build healthy relationships is a joint effort. If you are willing to BELIEVE, you will begin to ACHIEVE and ultimately RECEIVE all that is meant for you. You have what it takes and I will support you all the way. HOPE is on the Way!

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.

Do you struggle with feelings of self-doubt and insecurity? Do you often wonder if you are doing, being, or providing enough? Is most of your time taken-up by worrying about or taking care of others? And, do you experience a nagging sense of guilt when you think about doing something just for you? If you are a compassionate woman or soulful introvert who is often the “caretaker,” “fixer,” or “helper” in your personal and professional life, I would love to help.

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.
