Many of the women I work with appear capable and composed on the outside, yet feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected internally. They are often balancing careers, family responsibilities, and constant expectations while quietly struggling with anxiety, low mood, burnout, or life transitions such as motherhood or midlife change. Therapy provides a space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface. Together we work toward greater emotional steadiness, clearer boundaries, and a renewed sense of self.

As a clinical mental health provider and retired veteran, I have witnessed client reluctance/avoidance in seeking therapy. The most common feedback I hear to reluctance in seeking therapy is cost, fear of being judged, stigma, no connection with the therapist, therapist pushed religious beliefs, and poor negative experiences with prior therapy. It is my mission to provide an experience for each client that encompasses affordability, hope, dignity, and respect in a collaborative and safe space. My goal is to ensure you feel listened to and understood. My approach is team work and I look forward to helping you achieve your goals.

I specialize in women's issues, relational dynamics, and queer experiences.
It’s hard to be human. Even in the best of times, change and growth can be uncomfortable and often overwhelming. I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, OCD, complex trauma, grief, major life transitions, self-esteem, and motivation issues. I have found immense purpose in addressing issues related to relationships, intimacy, sex, and identity exploration, as well as LGBTQ+ and women’s issues.

We cover a vast list of specialities including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, women's issues, and more.
I love making space for... Those of us who can't seem to turn off anxiety or feel overwhelmed by the never ending "what ifs" and looping thoughts. Those of us who feel lost and confused about who we are, what we believe or how to love ourselves. The one who has experienced pain, hurt, or trauma and doesn't know what to do next to experience some relief.

I have worked with women's issues, aging-related concerns, life transitions, LGBTQ+, depression, anxiety, first-generation, and more.
The way you view the world is specifically unique to you. Similarly, the way you ask questions, seek answers, and find hope is distinctly your own. As your counselor, changing your worldview is not the approach I take. Instead, I work alongside you to better understand it, create space for your curiosity, find resilience, and to navigate life's challenges. Showing up as you are can be intimidating, but know that you are welcomed.

Are you exhausted from trying to hold everything together? Maybe your child’s meltdowns, explosive behaviors, anxiety, shutdowns, or emotional overwhelm are taking over your home — and nothing you’ve tried seems to help for long. Maybe you feel stuck cycling between guilt, frustration, walking on eggshells, and wondering if you’re somehow getting it wrong. Or maybe YOU are the one carrying years of anxiety, trauma, emotional exhaustion, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or survival mode while still showing up for everyone else. You are not too much. And you do not have to navigate this alone anymore.

I'm here to hold safe space for the questioning, the unlearning, and the becoming. Therapy doesn’t have to feel overly serious or like you’re doing it “wrong.” I believe healing can be deeply meaningful and imperfectly human... and that sometimes laughter, curiosity, and a little whimsy belong in the therapy room right alongside the hard stuff. I work with adult individuals and couples who are navigating relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, identity shifts, and the quiet (or not-so-quiet) feeling that something just isn’t working anymore. I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative rather than clinical.

Life can feel like an endless cycle of challenges, leaving us disconnected from who we want to be. Two things are often true at the same time: we can feel capable yet still desire to manage stress more effectively and boost self-confidence. My therapeutic approach offers a compassionate, empowering space for growth, focusing on the unique goals, needs, and timelines of each individual. Therapy is a collaborative, goal-directed process where we work together to challenge beliefs and thoughts that contribute to suffering.

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.
