I'm a trauma-informed LMSW who specializes in working with young adults, teens, couples, and the LGBTQ+ community. I support clients experiencing OCD and anxiety through Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and help those navigating burnout, relationship challenges, and generalized anxiety or depression. I also work with clients who feel disconnected from themselves or others, guiding them in strengthening self-worth and developing healthier relational dynamics. Using mindfulness and CBT, I work collaboratively to shift unhelpful belief systems and guide clients toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

I believe therapy is about understanding what we’ve been through—how our early experiences might still shape how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. Often, we find ourselves caught in emotional patterns that once helped us survive, but now leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or dissatisfied. In therapy, I help clients explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, so they can better understand themselves and what they need to move forward. I offer a warm, nurturing, and non-judgmental space where your emotional experiences are not only welcome—they’re essential to the work.

The challenges of life can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or frustrated. Sometimes handling things on our own isn't enough. Therapy can help you gain insight into the root causes of distressing emotions and learn how to manage them.

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.
