Specialties: anxiety, depression, teen/young adult issues, life transitions, stress and women's issues.
Ready or not, we all experience those times in our lives of transitions and challenges. Whether it's changes in relationships, new life stages or changes in our emotional well-being. No one likes to feel "stuck". You may have thinking patterns that served you in the past, but are now hindering your personal growth. Let's explore that together. Having a safe space for you to process it all is so important. A space for you to realize your potential and solidify your personal goals. I value being able to provide that space to others.

Are you feeling stuck and disconnected from yourself? Are you working to change old habits and self-sabotaging behavior? These women's issues can manifest into depression, anxiety, or a state of consistent stress or low self-esteem. Women experience many disruptions during their lifetime and during the creation of their self-hood. It may feel like you have lost yourself and lost your sense of identity. Women also experience an overwhelming sense of emotions. For women of color, the pressure to reconcile racial identity, language, economic disparities, and bi-cultural obligations can create feelings of sadness and powerlessness.

I also have particular expertise in the treatment of anxiety, depression and women's issues.
To benefit from therapy it is important that you and your family feel safe and comfortable. As you work together to develop new problem-solving and coping skills your therapist needs to demonstrate well-developed listening skills combined with the ability to be straightforward and supportive as you move forward. It is also important that your therapist presents with solid credentials and experience in the areas in which you need assistance. I have been told by my adolescent clients and their parents that they feel comfortable and respected, while also provided with skills that can be practiced between visits.

Our specialties include treating Anxiety, ADHD, Autism, Depression, and Women's Issues to name a few.
Navigating the complex relationship between mental health and the world around us can be challenging. This challenge may be amplified for individuals of color or those from cultures that may not fully support or understand the benefits of therapy. Feeling familiar with anxiety, depression, or stress should not be the norm. Struggling with boundaries in your relationships should not be a constant battle, and ADHD should not hinder your connections. At Personalize Your Therapy, we believe these challenges can be overcome.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a specialty in women's issues.
Sometimes we find ourselves at an inner-crossroads. Maybe you’ve realized you’re repeating cycles you know you want to break. Maybe you’re feeling unfulfilled but can't pinpoint why. Maybe you feel tossed around by your own intense emotions, or maybe you just can’t seem to make the changes you crave. You’re not alone. I work with clients who are often smart and anxious, who tend to feel exhausted by working so hard yet somehow still feel like it’s never enough. I also work with clients who feel sensitive to the world around them, often to the point of overwhelm.

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.
