Life transitions happen. People come to see me because they're experiencing difficulty coping with emotions and circumstances, struggling with relationships, or self-defeating patterns. They desire new boundaries or improved family dynamics. We work together in a warm, safe environment where deep personal issues are explored, having impact long after therapy has ended. We are dealt challenges: relationship issues, mid-life crises, assertiveness, self-confidence, self esteem, sadness/grief, pet loss, family-of-origin issues, fear of success, career changes, emotional and mood challenges, anxiety, stress and compulsive eating, life limiting illness, or the effects of trauma.

I believe change is possible, that there is hope, and that there are answers to be found within yourself. Now more than ever, individuals and those in relationship, are feeling the effects of living in a world that sometimes feels like it doesn’t quite fit them, they feel overwhelmed by the challenges of life, or feel unhappy in their current life situations. Do you find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma/PTSD, motivation, communication issues, or a loss of a sense of self that affects your day-to-day life, relationships or ability to function?

I help midlife women navigate life transitions, menopause, painful sex, and high-functioning anxiety so they can reclaim their confidence, reconnect with their bodies, and reignite passion in their lives.
You love your family, your career, and the life you've built—but something feels off. You feel overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, and like you're just going through the motions. Your mind won’t slow down, and you’re exhausted from trying to keep everything together. Maybe sex has become painful, your desire has faded, or intimacy feels more like a chore than a source of connection. You miss the confident, vibrant version of yourself—the one who didn’t second-guess everything, who felt desired and fully alive.

If college is the best four years of your life, then why do you feel like this? Stressed and alone. Surrounded by people, but struggling to connect. Wanting love, but tired of the games and swiping. Scared of the real world, and still stuck with that vape habit and yoyo diet from high school. Or maybe you were so excited for parenthood, but not for this. This is so loud and hard and nothing like the pictures online. Life transitions - my favorites being college and parenthood - can shake you up and reveal cracks you never knew were there, but they can also shake you loose from your old habits so you can grow.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
