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.

You may be the person everyone depends on. The one who keeps functioning even under enormous pressure. But internally, you may feel emotionally exhausted, chronically overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or trapped in patterns that no longer feel sustainable. Many of the women I work with are navigating complicated family dynamics, emotionally immature relationships, burnout, motherhood transitions, workplace stress, or years of over-functioning in order to keep everything afloat. Together, we identify the patterns, pressures, and relational dynamics impacting your wellbeing so you can build a more aligned and sustainable life.

Life can often feel difficult, confusing or overwhelming. Seeking help and finding the right counseling relationship can be challenging as well. My goal is to help you connect to your own inner guidance system. As an existentialist and a feminist counselor, it is my belief that people need to find a sense of purpose and meaning within themselves because the world outside doesn't always make sense. The stories we have told ourselves or been told about ourselves can have a significant impact on how we feel. The result can be depression, anxiety, anger, hopelessness, or confusion.

Are you in a tough spot or struggling? No matter what you are going through, therapy is a valuable place to get support, work towards making a change, and create a better understanding of oneself. I believe that therapy can be a beneficial experience for anyone as it provides a safe space to process feelings/stressors and to be heard and understood. My approach to therapy is grounded in relational theory - focusing 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 specialize in supporting young adults - twenty somethings, college students, and older teens (16+). I aim to partner with clients to help them develop a strong sense of self, healthy relationships, appropriate boundaries, and effective coping skills. With so many choices and options in this 21st century, it’s not unusual to feel paralyzed, anxious or depressed, especially during life's transition periods. Suddenly it may feel as if there is no “right choice” or even “a choice”, which can trigger symptoms of depression and anxiety which affect our self-care, relationships and school/professional lives.

I often say, "Being human is the hardest thing I've ever had to do." Maybe you've tried doing what’s expected but something still feels stuck. Or maybe you're dealing with problems with your partner(s) or your child is struggling, and you feel shut out, frustrated, or unsure what to do. Whether it’s anxiety or depression, OCD, eating issues, dissociation, (complex) trauma, or relationship strain, our work together is a place to slow down, sort through the noise, and finally feel like something is shifting again. This is where we stop pretending it’s fine and start figuring out what’s real.

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.
