I am so proud of you for taking the first step in starting your healing journey. It's not easy but I am so glad that you did! The thought of receiving therapy or being vulnerable can be uncomfortable, however, the process can be life-changing. There are times where we feel unworthy, not good enough and have this idea to strive for "perfection". These thoughts can be overwhelming and can stop you from living your life wholeheartedly. My mission is to support you as you go through this process. I use Person Centered, Yoga Movement and Solution Focused therapies to help meet the need of my clients.

Life can be complicated. These complications know no economic, age, sex, religious, or racial boundary. As a practitioner working with individuals to empower them is my passion and privilege. If you are currently working to navigate through a difficult time we can work together to set goals, realize and regain your strengths to develop a long-term plan for success. There are times when everyone needs to strengthen his or her coping skills, see the situation from another view, or simply say it aloud. There are also times when the work that needs to be done is very serious. And deep. And difficult.

I specialize in supporting women as they navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, pregnancy and postpartum experiences, and the emotional impact of health concerns. I understand that these experiences can feel overwhelming, leaving you disconnected from yourself, your body, or the life you want to live. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive space where you feel safe to slow down, explore your experiences, and reconnect with your inner strengths.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health. What works for one person may not work for another, and that’s an important part of the process. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you—offering support, perspective, and tools for growth. One of the most challenging and meaningful steps can be understanding your story and continuing to grow from it. My goal is not to tell you how to live, but to help you navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and self-awareness.

I have a particular interest in women's issues as well as female empowerment, adapting to times of transition, healing past abuse, and personal resilience following grief, guilt or shame.
If life has become chaotic and overwhelming, or maybe you feel isolated with anxiety, stress, depression or grief, I’m available to help you sort through these challenges. Many struggle with parenting burnout, chronic illness, abuse, family dynamics, employment, transitions and relationships. As a licensed clinical social worker with over 20yrs of professional experience I've had the privilege to work with adults, kids and families, seeking emotional support and healing. Through the scope of a multicultural background, I offer a therapeutic approach emphasized by inclusion, awareness, compassion, advocacy, patience and cooperation.

Life is full of change. No matter the type of change life throws at you, it always comes with some adjustment, and often with some sense of loss, depression, or anxiety. Everyone experiences it, but not everyone thrives through it. I’m here to help you with the process. Whether it's a life change you've looked forward to for a long time, or one you never would have chosen for yourself, adjusting can be hard. I can provide that listening ear while you process, ask the hard questions, and offer you skills or resources to help along the way as needed.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in patterns and unhealthy relationships that no longer serve you? Do you question whether you are on the right path and wonder how to achieve the calm clarity you need to move forward? You may be managing grief, sleepless nights, burnout, anxiety, or physical or emotional pain that makes it hard to get through the day. Inside, you know something needs to change. Now more than ever, people are realising that running on empty, putting their needs at the bottom of the to-do list, and not taking time to fill their own cup can lead to long-term issues for their bodies, moods and mind.

Seeking therapy can be a vulnerable step whether you're processing difficult experiences, exploring your identity, or simply feeling stuck. I hope to provide a space where you feel genuinely accepted, understood, and supported. My goal is not only to help you navigate current challenges but also to help you develop the insight, confidence, and tools to continue thriving long after therapy ends. I especially enjoy working with queer and trans individuals and I strive provide an affirming space that acknowledges the impact of culture, marginalization, and systemic oppression while fostering resilience and self-compassion.

I am so proud of you for taking this first step. You look like you have it together, but internally, you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break. Maybe you’re navigating a major life transition, healing from past trauma, or trying to make sense of your identity and where you belong. If you’re tired of overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected from yourself, you’re not alone. If you are seeking a space where their experiences are understood and respected, I'd be honored to work with you to build resilience, and work toward healing and meaningful change at your own pace.

As an OCD and Anxiety therapist using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), I help you understand your thoughts and behaviors so you can break free from fear, self-doubt, and patterns that no longer serve you. I believe healing happens through processing the past and shifting the narratives that contribute to distress, sadness, and anxiety. Feeling seen, heard, and empowered is often a key part of that process. My dream is for you to walk into my office and feel the warm and cozy vibe. I want my space to feel safe allowing for you to be vulnerable.

I have a special interest in working with those impacted by early life and identity-based experiences (e.g., unhealthy family systems, LGBTQ+ community, folks managing ADHD). For my clients, their pain may be related to difficult family dynamics, grief, overwhelming anxiety, or the impact of marginalized experiences (classism, sexism, homophobia or racism). My hope with all clients is to help them develop increased insight and self-compassion, as well as a roadmap for where they’d like to go. Past clients have shared our work reliably felt caring, safe, and even funny or irreverent at times. Others have shared they felt truly heard.

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.
