I believe therapy should be a safe, non-bias, judge free space where you can be seen and heard regardless of what you are going through. In our sessions together, we can challenge and explore where we currently are in life, and how to manage, cope and overcome obstacles with full transparency. With experience working with LGBTQ+, BIPOC, polyamorous, and sex positive, community dealing with various mental health issues and life stressors, together we can set goals and build our toolbox to get to our ideal, higher, authentic self. If you are ready to make your healing journey a priority, you have come to the right place!

Over the past twenty years, I have been helping adults, teens and couples navigate a number of life's challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties and other major life transitions. Building trusting, honest, direct and empathic relationships with my clients is most important to me and is what I believe makes therapy successful. People seek therapy when they are struggling with something that is not working in their lives or they are dealing with painful emotions. Through a mutually respectful, collaborative process I help my clients develop new coping strategies and skills to make the changes they are looking for in their lives.

We all hit roadblocks in our lives that prevent us from living a more satisfying life. Perhaps you’re going through a life transition and are struggling to adjust. You may be feeling more stressed, depressed, or anxious and this is getting in the way of your day to day and your relationships. Psychotherapy may be just what you need at this moment. Choosing the right therapist will depend on whether you can connect with that person, the therapist's skill level, what you are looking to get out of therapy, and how ready you are to embark in this process of change.

I am an empathic, compassionate, psychodynamically trained psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience helping people do the courageous work necessary to make meaningful, transformative changes in their lives.
Therapy, as I practice it, involves a collaborative process, requiring the active engagement of both myself and my client. I have particular success with people who already have some degree of intellectual insight about themselves but who have difficulty translating that knowledge into making emotional and practical changes in their lives -- building bridges from mind to heart and spirit.

It can be challenging to go through the stages of therapy, but the goal is that you leave the session exhaling with a smile that you took a step towards supporting yourself, that you made yourself a priority, and are on your way to tackling life’s stressors. We can work together to face the struggles that brought you to therapy and find solutions that help you feel inspired and empowered. I have spent much time doing crisis intervention and trauma therapy work. I am also passionate about working with grief/bereavement clients and have recently developed an interest in working with self-esteem building in client sessions.

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.
