Are you going through a time in your life when you emotions feel overwhelming? Are you lacking clarity about your true self? Do you tell yourself that you are doing the best you can, but wonder why you don't feel as good as you'd like to? Do you want to feel more like yourself, feel more connected to others and function better? Often times we have unmet emotional needs we are not even aware of, that pile up and negatively impact many areas of our lives: self-esteem, relationships, communication, academic/work performance, sports performance, parenting, etc.

Are you seeking a path of fulfillment personally and in your relationships? Engaging in a rich and meaningful life requires knowing ourselves deeply and acting on intentional choices guided by our core values, feelings, and desires. Our relationships can become more intimate as we develop clarity about our needs and courage to be vulnerable with those we trust to meet us on this level. When we have experienced trauma, pelvic pain, or challenging relationships, we need space to heal. I support clients in deepening their capacity for presence, emotional intimacy, and pleasure through mindfulness, self-compassion, and self-acceptance.

You only have one body. Accepting it can seem impossible in a society that values thinness. Our brains learn that actions like restriction, over exercise, binge eating, avoidance and control help us to feel better in the short term. Yet, ultimately lead us to feeling worse mentally and physically in the long run.
My goal is to help you break these patterns by teaching you how to untwist your thinking, build realistic strategies you can use forever, and identify your untapped strengths.

I work with highly responsible adults who are coming out of long periods of stress—emotionally hard relationships, caregiving, demanding careers—and realizing they’re completely depleted. Maybe your life looks ‘fine’ from the outside, but inside you feel flat, trapped, or like you only have energy to collapse on the couch. You may experience anxiety, depression, or other health challenges, and want more than symptom relief; you want to rebuild a life that may include meaningful work, a livable home, a stronger body, a sense of peace and safety, and real joy again.

I don't believe you're broken, even if you are suffering. You are already whole, and much of our suffering comes from losing sight of that wholeness, that unbroken light within ourselves. The goal is not to help you conform better to a failing system or function better on the surface while still feeling empty or lost inside; the goal is to help you find the root of what is happening for you, and locate the inner spiral that is the pathway out of suffering and into self-knowledge, maturity, and self-compassion.

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.
