Accepting new clients! Relationships are at the heart of being human — but why do they feel so hard sometimes? You might feel disconnected from your partner, weighed down by trauma, or navigating anxiety, neurodivergence, or major life transitions. Or, maybe you simply want to feel more secure and connected through life’s ups and downs. Whether you’re coming in as a couple or an individual, my goal is to offer a safe, supportive space for self-exploration, growth, and authenticity.

Sessions often include talking, mindfulness, somatic grounding, art making, and other forms of holistic and evidence-based therapies. Through the process of creative exploration, clients discover strengths and resources within themselves that help them solve problems and recover a deeper sense of self.

Each person possesses the innate ability to learn, grow, and make meaningful changes in their personal lives, relationships, and circumstances. In my practice, I strive to help individuals explore and understand the thought patterns and behaviors that may be influencing their lives, often in ways they aren't fully aware of. Many times, these unconscious patterns can lead to repetitive behaviors, creating dissatisfaction and emotional challenges. I believe that every individual has the potential to grow from both their positive and negative experiences, and it is my goal to support clients in discovering their own paths.

Our relationship with ourselves is life-long and at times, takes the back seat in our own lives. Perhaps you have felt overwhelmed as life continues to move forward while you have found less joy in things you used to love. You feel stuck as if you’re losing parts of yourself, or maybe you aren’t sure who you are just yet. As time has gone on, your relationship with yourself may have shifted as you navigated school, career and developing relationships and community. Our struggles may make it feel like we carry around a burden of pain. Life appears to find ways to enable us to walk around our pain or over it but not through it.

The goals of therapy are directed toward providing a positive and collaborative forum to ease presenting difficulties; and draw on the individual's strengths and resilience to enable greater contentment and satisfaction in life. The foundation from which I view issues is from a systems approach. Thus, my focus is on the relational context that each individual resides within. Additionally, I borrow ideas from Attachment , Emotionally Focused, Cognitive-Behavioral, and EMDR constructs when tailoring goals developed for each person's unique needs.

I passionately help BIPOC adults who have felt alone or misunderstood for far too long. They may be navigating autism, ADD/ADHD, loneliness, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, health issues, autoimmune disorders, hormonal changes, chronic pain, fatigue or burnout that feel layered and complex. They want help understanding why they feel this way and how diet, lifestyle, family history, oppression, and their environments have impacted them. My clients want lasting transformation—not temporary relief. They are seeking holistic, compassionate, culturally rooted and spiritually safe space where they feel seen, honored, and supported.

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.
