Have you reached a place where the expectations placed on you feel constant, unspoken, and impossible to meet? You may find yourself responsible for managing everyone else’s needs while your own are minimized, delayed, or ignored, leaving you unsure where your role ends and others’ demands begin. When boundaries are unclear, repeatedly crossed, or never respected, exhaustion, resentment, and emotional disconnection can take hold. Many adults are conditioned to tolerate this imbalance quietly, carrying heavy relational and emotional weight without permission to rest, push back, or choose themselves.

I am also a lived-experience provider.

Life transitions can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate them alone. I work with adolescents and adults facing a variety of concerns, including adjustment to co-parenting, stress related to major life changes, and the academic, emotional, and social pressures that often come with the high school years. My goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.

I have experience helping women's issues during treatment which include but are not limited to, self-esteem improvement and behavioral patterns.
My ideal client is willing to "do the work" outside of session, within their means or abilities, and is open to change to gain improvement in behaviors and thought processes. Someone who can't seem to pinpoint how to navigate toward self-improvement and has a willingness to discuss a plan for getting better. A person who has the ability to collaborate and fully participate in treatment. If a person is not sure of their goals, I can support a person in exploring ideal outcomes to determine goals for therapy.

I support women who are navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, postpartum experiences, motherhood, and the many emotional layers that can come with these seasons of life. I also work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship stress, burnout, and major life changes. Many of the women I work with are so used to taking care of everyone else that they rarely have space to care for themselves. Therapy can be a place where you finally get to exhale. I strive to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are.

Welcome. I will challenge you (with your permission), laugh with you and expect you to come with a goal and be willing to be actionable about whatever homework you decide to try. If you aren't prepared for a little challenge to your thinking, you aren't engaged in our counseling process. It's okay to be unsure, but not to believe anyone can make things better without your effort. Paying for someone to say you're right 100% of the time may feel good in the moment, but there is no growth in the comfort zone and no comfort in the growth zone.

Sometimes life takes you in a direction you never planned. In those seasons, there is often both loss and possibility. A relationship ends. A career shifts. Anxiety grows. Grief lingers. Trauma reshapes how safe the world feels. You may appear steady on the outside but feel overwhelmed or disconnected within, wondering who you are now and how to move forward.

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.
