I enjoy working with a wide variety of people who are struggling with anxiety or depression, or having a hard time in a relationship. I think life is filled with challenges at all ages, and we can always make positive changes in our lives. As a therapist, I am very comfortable to talk with. I will listen carefully and work with you to figure out ways to deal with whatever is bothering you. Rather than specializing in one technique, I have training in several approaches and will flexibly use whatever is most helpful for you.

In my practice I help women gain new tools for coping and growing into a higher version of themselves. They are motivated for change and feeling an urge to start making different choices, but not quite sure how to do that. One of my clients calls me the "choice whisperer," because when I get involved suddenly they feel like they have so many more options for how to behave, when to stand up for themself, and when they are allowed to be vulnerable.

I am currently accepting new clients! Have you ever avoided doing things you loved because you’re worried about what others think? Have you experienced confusion and prejudice because of your identity? Has it negatively impacted your sleep, eating habits, or relationships? Living authentically can come at a cost to those with marginalized identities; the stress, fatigue, and fear that come with interacting with non-affirming people can ultimately shrink your world. The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves can shape beliefs about the world and our place in it.

I mostly work in the evenings, with limited availability during the day. I don't have much flexibility in my schedule, so I typically see clients on consistent days and times - weekly or bi-weekly.

I believe that each client is their own best expert, and has come to counseling because they have hit a log jam or bump in the road. Often times they have unresolved issues in their past that have been triggered by current issues that have the same theme. Also, some clients come to counseling due to current situations that are more short-term. My counseling style is very respectful, collaborative, going at a pace that meets the client's needs. Validation of the client's strengths, feelings and stressors is key to helping them transcend traumas and negative experience of the past and present.

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.
