I have a strong passion for working adult women struggling to find themselves.
No matter how hard you try, you can’t show up in your life the way you imagine and intend to. You fantasize about your ideal life, but unhealthy patterns keep you from showing up for yourself and those you care about in ways that don’t align with your values. It’s difficult for you to be present, which causes disruption in all areas of your life and increases your anxiety. You feel ashamed of your reaction to stress, which makes you feel lonely and disconnected. You know you need to prioritize yourself and set boundaries, but you’re fearful that this might cause another disruption, which is just too overwhelming.

I specialize in working with young adults, women, Jews, LGBTQIA, Latino/as, and highly empathic people.
Did you know that the quality of a therapeutic relationship is a better predictor of clinical success rather than therapy style? I place particular emphasis on fostering that relationship while helping clients work toward their goals. In essence, we are a team trying to get you closer to where you want to be. I aspire to be your best advocate (second to yourself, of course), and whenever needed, a cheerleader. Most of my caseload is made up of long-term clients who choose to continue treatment for reasons such as: continual insight, healing, growth, and in some cases a way to guarantee regular accountability and self-introspection.

I work with people seeking support related to relationship concerns, racial/ethnic identity, challenges specific to women, complex family dynamics, and complex trauma, which often includes depressive and anxiety symptoms.
I consider mental health an essential aspect of general health that can be easily overlooked. However, life can be overwhelming sometimes, and we may face challenges that seem impossible to handle or process. During these challenging periods, psychotherapy can be a powerful tool for healing, personal growth, and increasing self-knowledge. Together, we can explore emotions and feelings, collaborate in identifying your needs and conflicts, and create a more meaningful life.

As a mom and former perfectionist, I help women manage anxiety, overstimulation, and life’s demands.
Do you ever feel like you’re drowning in the chaos of motherhood—pulled in a million directions with no time to catch your breath? Between the never-ending cycle of laundry, toys scattered everywhere, school drop-offs, meal planning, and the demands of work, it’s easy to feel like there’s nothing left for you. Maybe you’re constantly putting everyone else first, saying yes when you want to say no, and feeling drained from trying to keep up. Or perhaps the mess, the noise, and the nonstop to-do list leave you overstimulated, and the pressure to do it all perfectly has you feeling like you’re falling short. You’re not alone.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
