Do you feel like you’re running around meeting others' needs, but struggling to care for yourself? Maybe you’re tired of trying to be perfect, find it hard to set boundaries, or feel weighed down by family dynamics that still impact you today. If you’re exhausted from trying to hold it all together, therapy can be the place where you don’t have to. I love working with women & gender expansive clients navigating anxiety, trauma, and the complexities of reproductive health issues such as endometriosis. I offer a space to heal, grow, and explore what "self care" really means for you, while also unpacking systemic factors at play.

Welcome! My name is Amy and I am a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. Do you feel like you are carrying more than you might admit to others?

Welcome! You found your way here. Perhaps chronic patterns of feeling depressed, anxious, or hopeless have prevented you from reaching life goals. Perhaps emotions and memories of past events intrude your thoughts, and you're wondering if you can ever reach the "before" time again. Starting therapy is often a decision people make when what they’ve tried on their own no longer feels sufficient.

Hello! At some point or another, we all benefit from talking to another person to work through problems, explore who we are, or just get thoughts or feelings outside of our head. I'd love to be that external person for you! With an emphasis on human connection, our sessions may look different week to week. Some weeks there might be a focus on problem solving, others an exploration of patterns, and some may just be talking about things (we call this externalizing!). From young kids to older adults, we face transitions in every stage of life. I'm here to listen without judgement and help you navigate anything life throws your way!

People find themselves struggling with something that is making life more difficult than it needs to be. Maybe friends and family aren't there for you anymore, or they just can't understand what is happening with you. You need to talk to someone who can help you sort it out-someone who can listen and reflect with you, but won't tell you what to do. Someone who can help you find the answers that come from within. You want a good counselor. So, now that you know that, how do you choose one?

My ideal clients are adolescents, young adults, and adults, especially within the 2SLGBTQ+ community, gender diverse, and other, even intersecting marginalized individuals. Those of you who are ready to explore who they are beneath what they've been given. You may be navigating gender-affirming care, healing from religious trauma or cult experiences, processing family estrangement, or standing at a meaningful crossroads. Together, we will use narrative, reality, and person-centered approaches to gently sift through what does not serve you, and build something that actually reflects who you are.

Therapy doesn’t have to begin with answers—it can begin with curiosity. You might identify as a people-pleaser or perfectionist, or find yourself navigating anxiety, burnout, body image concerns, relationship or identity challenges, or a major life transition. This can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who you are or what you truly want. Together, we can slow down, notice what’s shaping your experience, and explore what feels out of alignment. I aim to create a collaborative space where you can show up as you are, deepen self-understanding, and move toward a more authentic and sustainable way of being.

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.
