Sometimes wounds leave scars. Often, the deepest wounds are the hardest to heal. When trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, and self-doubt surface and feel overwhelming, restoring balance becomes essential. But how do we begin? Our practice brings decades of experience in the mental health field, working side by side with clients to understand how thoughts, feelings, sensations, life experiences, and behaviors are interconnected. We walk with you through challenges to help make sense of what is happening and to find the answers you already hold deep within yourself, but sometimes struggle to access.

As a seasoned clinician, I practice full-hearted, relational therapy and counseling with clear focus and humor! Only if the relationship fits, and you are ready for in depth work: a) heal past trauma(s); b) look for deeper meaning/direction in your life through Jungian exploration of the unconscious (dream work, archetypes, shadow/body work, active imagination, etc.), which is often experiential; c) address anxiety about these times in a women's group. I also bring in sociological issues of oppression, racism, patriarchy, etc., as relevant, and have strong background in Buddhist meditation and Celtic spiritual pagan practice.

Hello! I am a queer and multi-ethnic therapist. I specialize in working with Indigenous and Chicanx children and adults with the following identities or life experiences: highly sensitive people (HSP), queer, neurodivergent and histories with complex trauma. I work best with those who want to heal inner child wounds and who crave deeper healing for themselves, their families and communities. I speak Spanish conversationally.
My ideal client has an understanding that therapy is a reciprocal space and process, where there is much to be learned from both sides.

It is easy to get swept up into what the world defines a woman should be. This world can pollute the mind into believing that extreme measures need to be taken in order to fulfill the status quo. It is exhausting molding oneself into a mold that was never meant to be. Each woman has been created for a unique purpose, and if the purpose gets diluted with the expectations of this world, the true beauty and intellect of the woman is hidden and that is a travesty. When a women sees her value in God's eyes, she truly becomes alive, as she understands she was created for a purpose, and is not a mere afterthought.

Over the past 10 years, I've worked with women exhausted from feeling responsible, from pushing themselves to meet impossible standards, from comparing themselves, and from confusion about how to prioritize their own self care and balance it all.
Periods like pregnancy, early motherhood, and midlife can feel especially vulnerable and intensify feelings of guilt, worry, and overwhelm.
I promise, you're not alone if you're blaming yourself and feeling stressed and unsure of yourself.

My role as a therapist is that of a fellow-human that joins you on this chapter of your journey. Think of us together on a walk. On our walk, we encounter the natural elements that both slow us down with fatigue and overwhelm, and also motivate us with inspiration and delight. What makes this journey bearable, do-able, and sometimes even fun is that we are together. You are not alone. The safety I intend to cultivate for you provides the atmosphere for inquiry, exploration, curiosity, and growth.

In the real lives of everyday people stuff happens. Some of it hurts a little. Some of it hurts for a lifetime. I use several evidence-based therapies to help work through feelings of abuse, betrayal, danger, and damage to recover, repair, and rebuild. Finding hope and help is a great start.

Therapy is a very personal and intimate process. I believe a therapist should be a bit less clinical than other health professionals, while at the same time providing a safe and comfortable, yet professional atmosphere. My practice is designed to allow clients to truly be at ease with me, which is one of the most important steps in the completion of successful therapy.

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.
