I use a holistic approach to healing that includes mind, body and spirit. I have a particular focus on women's health issues, sexual abuse, and PTSD. Every pain, trauma, and obstacle we experience in life has information to share with us. The most difficult times we face can be truly transformative if we know how to listen to them. Sometimes we can get lost down these turbulent roads and my job is to help you navigate the path that you are already on.

If you've made it here, then you likely have it all together on the outside, but on the inside you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or lost. You’ve read all the self-help books and listened to all the podcasts, but you still can’t make the changes you know you want and need. You feel the constant pressure to perform, which shows up as tightness in your chest and belly and clenching your jaw. You feel anxious and can’t remember the last time you felt really relaxed. You give love, grace, & understanding to others, but your inner critic is so loud and demanding, you can’t seem to convince yourself that you deserve the same love and care.

Therapy Intensives for High Achieving, Reflective Women Ready to Live with True Autonomy. You're an ambitious woman realizing the patterns that got you here can't take you forward. From the outside, things look impressive. From the inside, you're tired in a way that rest doesn't touch. The "not good enough" whisper never quite leaves. Maybe you're navigating betrayal, the erosion of a relationship, or the long shadow of a mother who couldn't show up. You've done a lot of personal work and still feel stuck between what you understand and feel and how you live.

Healing can be a beautiful process, both physically and mentally. It can bring relief from pain, restore functionality, and promote a sense of well-being. It can also offer an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery. I specialize in a holistic approach to anxiety, trauma, and behavior modification through mind and body. The philosophy of trauma-informed counseling is based on the understanding that individuals who have experienced trauma require specialized care and support. I acknowledge the impact of trauma on my clients' lives and work collaboratively with them to identify and address their individual needs and goals.

Do you feel stuck, even though you’re doing all the “right” things? Often, how we show up in the world reflects how we learned to survive in it. Deep down, we all want to feel seen, heard, and valued—but beliefs that we’re unworthy or “not enough” can leave us anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed. Together, we’ll begin to notice, challenge and heal those old messages so you can reconnect with your most authentic, grounded self. Our work is about returning home to yourself—to a place of authenticity, self-compassion, and connection—so you can move through life with greater ease, confidence, and a renewed sense of belonging.

Everyone is dealing with stress, feelings if emotional discomfort, and general struggle. Unfortunately, not everyone has a safe place or person to help them process these thoughts and feelings in a way that you can get relief. There is nothing worse than being in the trenches of life and having no one there to remind you that there is a light and help you find it. No matter where you are in life, everyone needs the opportunity and the space to unpack those uncomfortable feelings and get them out. You are important and you deserve the time.

We all find ourselves in places in our lives where we ask how we arrived to where we are. It can be confusing, disorienting, and overwhelming. Sometimes being able to shift focus and try a new approach can be helpful. My hope is to have the privilege to walk along side you as you consider change, embrace exploration, and solidify your internal foundation. Adolescents and children face difficulties that can become behavioral challenges for parents and the family system. Changes from loss, family additions, and divorce can also be unsettling. Knowing how to navigate through those challenges sometimes requires outside support.

Do you feel stuck in a cycle of unfulfilling relationships? Perhaps you're struggling to communicate effectively with your partner, repeating patterns that leave you feeling disconnected and misunderstood. Or maybe you're single and notice that every relationship seems to hit the same roadblocks. The weight of relationship challenges can show up as anxiety, depression, or a deep sense of loneliness. You might find yourself overthinking every interaction or feeling like you're losing yourself in relationships. If this resonates, you're not alone – and there is a path forward.

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.
