Are you looking for support navigating your teens or twenties? Early adulthood is full of transition and expectations - this can be exciting and stressful. This stage of life often comes with unexpected curveballs and maybe some relationships that are challenging to manage. You need someone you can be genuine with, and someone who genuinely cares, to make the most of your time in therapy. Someone who knows how to offer support for what you're going through (who isn't your parents or best friend). I'm here for exactly that, to process these challenges and provide professional support in an environment that feels comfortable for you.

Being human is difficult. We can all feel stuck at times, like things need to change, things are out of control and moving too quickly, or we are exhausted from too much change. I am passionate about journeying with adult individuals to discover helpful insights to live with a bit more ease, to stay more present, to walk with you through the process of change, or simply to validate that being human can is hard. I see clients struggling with burn-out, anxiety, depression, existential dread, trauma, processing emotions, reembodiment, and life transitions.

Finding relief, support, meaning, and a clear path forward are the goals of most of my clients. We work together on both practical possibilities and internal understanding. A major part of the process is increasing the ability to really see and use the goodness within oneself to not only navigate complicated situations or recover from painful events but to find a sort of personal freedom capable of improving the quality of everyday life. Exercising this victory muscle can be a deeply spiritual endeavor. I invite you to call me to explore our potential for a mutually comfortable fit.

I take a modern approach to therapy. As an LMFT and LCPC I see individuals of all ages and life stages : individuals, children, and families.

You might be managing anxiety, moving through a major life transition, or feeling stuck in patterns that affect your relationships and sense of self. Whatever brought you here, I'm glad you're looking.
I work with women who are ready to understand themselves more deeply, whether that means navigating roles as a partner, parent, or caregiver, rebuilding trust in themselves, or simply finding more steadiness in daily life. I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is healing, and I bring a warm, down-to-earth presence to that work.

Life’s challenges sometimes can feel like mountains which we are never going to get over or storms that we may never be able to see another sunset or sunrise. This is when we need a little helping hand that I can provide to allow you to move within the world in a healthier and more fulfilling way. I work with adults, adolescences, preadolescences, children, and families to help get through their challenges. I enjoy age diversity. I have over 20 years of experience with children and teens either as a teacher, athletic coach, or a counselor.

My approach to counseling is largely based on the therapeutic connection between an individual and their therapist, as this is one of the best predictors of progress and improvement over the course of therapy. I use strengths-based and relational methods to connect with individuals and support them in making changes to their lives. Clients can expect validation, respect, safety, and empathy when working with me.

How amazing would it be if there was one 'go-to' book to guide everyone in learning how to live their lives to the fullest, discover true happiness, and relish in the satisfaction of working through the daily challenges we are handed. I have yet to discover this book. However, in my 13 years of working with children, youth, adults, and families with emotional and behavioral challenges I've learned that our experiences in life, no matter how difficult, are important and shape how we relate to others, how we feel, and move through this journey of life.

I enjoy working with people who are struggling with infertility, perinatal concerns, and new parenthood. I am especially interested in supporting those who desire to build their own families and need emotional support through the process of infertility, fertility treatments, and exploring various pathways to parenthood such as surrogacy and adoption. I am a strong advocate for maternal mental health and I believe more support for mothers is needed in our society after birth and adoption. I also enjoy working with those who are going through transitions in life, whether that is due to relationship changes, a move or change in job.

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.

Women are incredible, and yet, I don’t know a single woman who hasn’t held deep pain and shame about herself at some point; somehow feeling like she is both too much and not enough. Shrinking herself, fighting imposter syndrome, avoiding conflict, feeling guilty for having needs and choosing to care for herself... Maybe you know that feeling too, and maybe that’s why you’re here. It doesn’t have to be this way. You can learn how to move from self-criticism to compassion, rebuild your confidence, and let go of the insecurities that make it so hard for you to see your worth. You can learn how to love yourself and your life again.

Your relationship with food and your body has taken over your life, and you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and alone. You may be fed up with the shame, exhausted by the lack of control, or worn down by how isolating this struggle has become. You might not even remember a time when things felt different. But one thing is clear: you’re ready for relief. You’re ready to leave the eating disorder behind. You want to feel confident, grounded, and in more control of your emotions. Most of all, you’re ready to reconnect with yourself. My clients come to therapy looking for a space where they can finally feel understood.

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.
