I offer short-term therapy for individuals and couples in a season of change. I work most often with women, queer folks, and parents; couples trying to find their way back to each other or navigating separation or divorce; service-based professionals experiencing burnout and wanting to reimagine their business practices; and more generally adults looking for an unconventional, creative path forward. My approach is intuitive and interactive, a blend of both depth work and a clear focus on desired outcomes. I draw primarily from somatic, emotion-focused and attachment-based modalities.

Hi! I'm so glad you've reached out and are taking this step.
I believe that therapy is all about the relationship created between client and therapist. Healing happens when we can talk about our struggles and are met with compassion, understanding, and acceptance. That connection allows for examining ourselves and finding ways to change our lives in a positive way.

I believe we all need a safe harbor; a place to land where we can explore our lives, the beautiful, as well as, the challenging and painful. When I think of counseling, I think of a space where you can show up as you are and bare who you are to yourself and a compassionate, clear, and experienced other. Whether you are experiencing life transition, confusion, anxiety and fear, existential malaise, difficulties with self worth, relational troubles, or other concerns, the therapy space can offer a place where you can explore these concerns in a safe and supportive environment.

“Psychoanalysis, at its core, heals through love. Often, you may feel pain and anguish without knowing where it truly began. In a safe, non-judgmental space, in the hands of a qualified professional, you will walk an unknown path—exploring hidden places, uncovering your story, and gaining the chance to rewrite your future.”

You may be facing a change you didn’t choose, like illness, grief, caregiving, chronic pain, or the weight of past trauma. Or you might be navigating an internal shift: anxiety that feels overwhelming, a loss of identity, or old coping strategies no longer working. Many of my clients feel stuck between who they were and who they’re becoming, unsure how to manage the emotional and physical impact of everything shifting around them.

You may be someone who feels overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in patterns that don’t make sense, even after trying to change them. At times you may feel emotionally reactive, disconnected, or unable to make decisions. In other moments, you may feel very little, while your body carries the burden through anxiety, insomnia, or physical symptoms. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and capable, yet struggle with something that feels difficult to name or understand.

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.
