I believe that life is made up of moments that are both big and small, and therapy is a safe place to process the thoughts and emotions that go with those moments. I enjoy creating a space where people feel that they are able to share the stories of their unique lives without judgement and receive compassion in return. Open communication builds a strong therapeutic relationship, and my personal style is direct yet supportive. I draw upon various treatment modalities to create an individualized approach to sessions.

Not sure what to do? Feeling desperate and hopeless? Struggling with letting go of the past? Don't know what to do about your child's out of control behaviors? We all come to a point in our lives when things seem unbearable. Sometimes we need a little help for a short amount of time, and sometimes we need a huge assist for an indefinite amount of time. My hope is that you begin to gain the confidence and stability to live life, not simply survive this world. I have an eclectic approach and pull from many therapeutic modalities to meet people where they are in their therapeutic journey.

A lot of people who find me are high achievers who are good at their jobs and struggling in their personal lives. My clients are often organized, analytical, and used to solving problems, but trauma, relationships, and sexuality don't respond to the same strategies that work everywhere else. Some are neurodivergent, and have spent years masking, overperforming, or wondering why connection feels harder than it should. Some are carrying something they've never said out loud to anyone. They're not looking for generic support. They want a therapist who is specific, skilled, and won't waste their time.

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.
