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. This is hard work and it's not always fun work, but for a life with more control, awareness, and acceptance, it's work worth doing.

I work with adults who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms. We work together to figure out what you can do to help yourself feel better, including in between sessions. If you are having nightmares, I think it helps to know that they give us access to emotional material we need to process, with support, to truly get beyond past traumatic events. Research has shown that people diagnosed with PTSD who have access to those feelings, such as through their nightmares, can heal and recover with specialized support. If you want to feel more empowered, more in control of your own mental health, I can help.

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.
