Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile. I'm a licensed therapist passionate about working with adolescents and young adults. I believe that many young people grow up being told their feelings don't matter, which can make it difficult to express or even identify emotions later in life. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and validated, knowing that your feelings are real and important; because we've all experienced the opposite, and you deserve better. I primarily work with teens and adults processing childhood experiences. If this sounds like what you need, I would love to work with you.

The journey to parenthood can be a lonely and overwhelming time. Through my own experiences with infertility and prenatal loss, I became deeply committed to offering empathetic, trauma-informed care to others navigating all stages of parenthood—from pre-conception to postpartum. I take a directive yet compassionate approach in my work, integrating mind-body techniques into sessions while also educating clients about the nervous system and how it responds to various stress states. I use Mindfulness, Brainspotting, Polyvagal Theory, and Trauma-Informed Yoga techniques alongside talk therapy to enhance nervous system regulation.

Overthinking. Burnout. Relationship stress. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and things don’t have to stay this way.

I have experience working with adults in outpatient settings, supporting clients through crisis, addiction, relationship challenges, and ongoing concerns like anxiety and depression.

I support high-achieving women who are tired of looking composed on the outside while feeling overwhelmed on the inside. She may be carrying the weight of work, relationships, expectations, trauma, or years of functioning in survival mode. She may struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, emotional disconnection, chronic stress, or difficulty slowing down without guilt. She wants more than quick coping strategies. She wants therapy that helps her understand herself more deeply, regulate her nervous system, and create a life that feels calmer, more aligned, and more authentic.

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.
