You’re constantly putting other’s needs ahead of your own, but the people-pleasing only goes so far, and it’s never enough. Helping others used to make you happy but the balance has been lost. The worry about what others will think and how you might make them feel has become too much, leading to emotional and physical burnout. Feeling responsible for everyone else’s emotions is a heavy burden to carry, but for some reason, it’s hard to put that burden down. You’ve started to believe that eventually, everyone will leave when you aren't useful to them anymore.

Do you feel you have a lot weighing on your mind but don’t know where to let it out? Do you often find yourself hesitant to talk through how you’re feeling? It takes courage to recognize the need to reach out to someone and even more so to act on it. As a licensed clinical social worker, I can provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to be heard and allow you to put those thoughts into your own words. My approach is rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and utilizing techniques to help you change the way you approach difficult situations.

You look fine. That’s part of the problem. People describe you as strong. Meanwhile, you’re carrying things nobody knows about. The childhood you don’t talk about. The sexual abuse you still question. The relationship that changed you. The years spent feeling unwanted, unprotected, overlooked, too much, or never enough. You keep showing up for work. Taking care of people. Paying the bills. Then you lay awake at night wondering why you’re still carrying all of this.

I have experience working with clients who want to process anxiety, depression, religious trauma, sexual stress, peer relationships, and family/marital issues. I believe that therapy is most helpful when it functions as a safe space for clients to come exactly as they are. In all my work, I am passionate about creating a welcoming space that fosters compassion, authenticity, openness—and hopefully joy. My goal is to support my client as they find their own unique path towards healing, because I believe no one should walk through their struggles alone.

Life can be unpredictable and challenging, and sometimes we just need someone to walk alongside us—a steady, compassionate presence who helps us process our thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. I’m here to offer that space. I specialize in working with women and adolescents (ages 12+), particularly those navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity issues, and life transitions. As a mother, and someone who has extensive experience with mental health challenges, I understand how important it is to feel seen, heard, and safe—especially in a world that often overlooks and misunderstands us.

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.
