I specialize in helping people navigate through relationship issues, life transitions, grief/loss, and women’s issues specifically. I also work with the military population on issues related to deployment and marriage/relationships. My counseling approach is nondirective, which means that I will meet you in a nonjudgmental way, listen to what you would like help with, and work with you to set realistic and attainable goals. I also use CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to help you restructure any unhelpful/untrue thoughts that you may be having. You may be surprised to learn that we will use humor in our sessions too!

I work with young adults (18+) and mid-life adults who struggle with a variety of issues, from feeling depressed and/or anxious, like things are harder than they should be, to dealing with the stress that comes during a life transition, whether it’s entering or leaving a relationship, a job, or a home. You can live with more resiliency, self-expression, and clarity if you can be in a better relationship with yourself and those around you. I can also help you explore how the beliefs and messages you were raised with are impacting your life now and help you imagine and create new patterns that serve you better.

As a therapist my goal is to support my clients as they grow in confidence and strength. As a therapist and a client myself, I believe therapy can help us grow deeper in understanding ourselves, as well as believing in our own capabilities. In sessions, I utilize the skills that fit each client, as well as my dark sense of humor and non-judgmental stance. I have found particular enjoyment working with ADHD, teens, parents, people struggling with boundaries, those in the LGBTQ community, and anxiety. Many providers have a set modality for treatment; I enjoy working with clients to understand their personalities and needs.

You are not alone! Do you experience times when you are controlled by intense emotions or are paralyzed by anxiety/fear, and at other times you feel detached and numb. Is it difficult to get up in the morning to face another day of loneliness, regrets and even suicidal ideation. Perhaps your relationship suffers from conflict and lack of intimacy or you are going through a breakup. I have experienced life and its challenges. However these challenges can be overcome! Each person has a unique sense of belonging and attachment that can be nurtured to achieve his/her best self.

When we go through difficult times, it is so easy for our hearts to simply go to "sleep" to protect ourselves from further pain and disappointment. Sometimes it can be challenging to know how to break out of the ways our hearts have opted for the status quo. With 31 years of counseling experience and a passion to see hearts awakened, I offer to come alongside those who are sincerely hungry for true transformation.

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.
