At some point, many of us find ourselves carrying more than we were ever meant to carry. I support individuals who feel overwhelmed, burned out, or misunderstood - often navigating the lasting impact of trauma, anxiety, or depression. My clients are seeking more than just coping skills; they want to feel grounded, safe in their own skin, and respected for who they truly are. I provide a space that is neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and centered on honoring each client’s unique wiring and lived experiences.

So often, life can feel overwhelming.

These struggles can feel lonely, but you don’t have to go through them alone. Therapy provides a supportive space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and gain clarity and insight into your experiences.

Simply put, life is hard. At times we lose sight of who we are and where we hope to be. We can feel stuck or overwhelmed. We all need a safe space to be heard and to process through difficult situations and emotions. I believe we all have the inner resources to overcome our challenges and to move from surviving to thriving. Therapy can help you become more grounded, confident and motivated. In therapy you will learn coping skills and concrete strategies to navigate difficult situations, cope with stress and manage your emotions. Perhaps this is even a time to challenge yourself to become the version of yourself you hope to be.

Your mind has been pushing you around with negative, anxious thoughts. You have tried to "be more positive" but you still find yourself getting stuck in cycles of rumination and worry. You are having problems in your relationships and some days feel like a ride on an emotional rollercoaster. You know something needs to change but you aren't sure what. You're feeling stuck.

The search for a therapist can be intimidating, as you are choosing someone with whom to share your most intimate thoughts and feelings. It's not easy to choose, but I wanted to share a bit about myself to help you see if we might be the right fit. I'm probably not exactly what you think of as a therapist, as I am a former airborne soldier with the United States Army. I'm not the prim and proper, super put together therapist who just tells you everything will be alright, (though it will)! Instead, I'm the a therapist who walks beside you on your journey to see things differently, make changes in your life, and advocate for yourself.

I know the term "eating disorder" can feel scary. In the beginning, clients typically tell me they can't stop thinking about food. They find a large part of their day is dedicated to their next meal. They miss out on time with loved ones because the concern of what they will “be able” to eat is too strong. A lot of my clients find themselves in a dieting spiral. They “do good” for a while, and then they binge later, leading to feelings of shame and guilt. Most have heard confusing things about bodies throughout their lives.

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.
