Many of the women I work with are navigating seasons of change: becoming a mother, adjusting to the evolving demands of parenting, moving through relationship or career transitions, experiencing changes in their bodies and identities, or simply realizing that the way they’ve been living no longer feels like it fits. I support women experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, relationship challenges, low self-worth, and disconnection from themselves, as well as those navigating reproductive and maternal mental health concerns. Together, we’ll make sense of your experiences and help you reconnect with yourself.

I believe that the right course of treatment for a client depends on who they are, what they bring into session, and how they are comfortable working. I enjoy helping individuals make meaning out of their experiences, build awareness of self, and have a space to be heard, validated and heal. I feel that a strong relationship between client and therapist is what allows for growth and the deepest level of work to be done. I strive to create a welcoming, non-judgmental, and empathetic space for that purpose.

Are you looking to repair or improve your relationship? I am a licensed marriage and family therapist specialized in treating couples' issues, specifically around life cycle transitions in the relationship (engagement, fertility, coparenting, divorce, etc), as well as issues around trust and communication. I use a systemic and strengths-based approach in working with my clients and their relationships. I begin focusing therapy on a behavioral level to work on tangible changes, and if the client continues to feel stuck, we continue by addressing cognitions and underlying emotions to the problem to identify where they are constrained.

Do you over-give, people-please, stay guarded in relationships even when it leaves you feeling drained or like you've lost touch with yourself? Do you feel exhausted from being the dependable one, the one who overthinks texts, avoids conflict, and says yes when you want to say no? Do you wonder if your relationships could feel more secure, and life feels more like your own?
Many high-functioning adults find themselves stuck in relational patterns they can’t seem to break, over-giving, over-functioning, or feeling responsible for everyone else’s emotions while quietly neglecting their own.

Are you holding everything together — and quietly falling apart?
You're the one others rely on. You manage the job, the family, the relationships, the expectations — and you do it well, at least from the outside. But inside, something feels stuck. Maybe you're carrying grief that never had space to land. Maybe you're navigating the heartbreak of infertility, the fog of postpartum depression, or the slow erosion of a relationship that used to feel solid. Maybe you simply can't pinpoint what's wrong — only that something is.
You don't have to keep pushing through alone.

Living your best life takes work, honesty and exploration. Working together, we can develop strategies and tools you can continue to use now and throughout your life. Change begins when we start to look more closely at our lives and think intentionally about who we are and who we want to be.

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.
