My specialty areas include: depression, anxiety,
women's issues
, relationship struggles and life stressors/transitions.
Therapy is not one size fits all. We all walk different paths, have different lived experiences and hold different thoughts/emotions. My approach to therapy is person-centered. I meet each person where they are at and work collaboratively to address individual needs/goals. I will provide you with a safe, comfortable and judgment-free space to explore your inner thoughts, feelings, hopes and dreams. I recognize that you are the expert of you. My goal is to guide you towards further self-discovery by helping identify your triggers, develop positive coping skills, overcome life’s challenges and work towards living your fullest life.

We have heard it many times: change is the one constant in our lives. Whether it is the coming out or transition of a child or loved one, parenting, experiencing a loss, or other impactful life event - we are all affected by change. Are feelings of stress, fear, anxiety, grief, loss, sadness, guilt, anger, and/or the effects of discrimination/oppression impacting your daily life? There are paths available we can map together filled with hope, acceptance, affirmation, strategies, and less stress/anxiety.

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.
