I uniquely support
women's issues
such as Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD).
Looking for something different? I uniquely combine evidence-based therapy with meditation, breathwork, yoga, and other hands-on techniques, like art therapy. I’ve been a licensed therapist for 14 years. I create a space where you can be heard and nurtured but also pushed to grow. We'll work together to set realistic therapeutic goals so you can thrive. Primarily I see girls and women but I also support men. I passionately support teen girls, LGBTQIA+ individuals, POC, and single parents. Together, we’ll reduce stress, anxiety, and low mood by learning clinical and coping skills to increase overall happiness and personal awareness.

Do you need to learn how to be kinder to yourself? To heal from past hurts? To find a new perspective on your issues (with a solution-focus)? Do you want to be gently nudged out of your comfort zone to meet your personal goals? Do you want someone to just listen to you and help you process everything you're going through? If you answered "yes" to one or more of these, we might be a great fit! It's important for clients to feel comfortable with their therapist, and my experience has shown me that people with these needs have benefited greatly from our sessions.

Everyday life brings a variety of situations that can cause us to feel unsure. We can be left feeling mentally or emotionally exhausted. Like most of us you want to make positive changes in your life and improve your relationships, but you just don’t know how to effectively make it happen. I know what it’s like to feel stuck, trying to navigate the waters of life filled with anxiety, depression, self-sabotage, substance misuse, relationship issues, an existential or spiritual crisis, and more. You want to show up for yourself, but you just don’t know how. Which is why I’ve dedicated my life to helping people get unstuck .

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.
