Women's issues are also an important part of my practice helping individuals who have life changes and stress that impact their lives.
I believe the key to a successful therapeutic experience is the collaboration between the therapist and the individual. I work to develop an empathetic and authentic connection with my clients. I am flexible in understanding the goals and needs of individuals whether it is issues around relationships, or their personal journey in recovery from addiction. My approach is non judgmental and open. Helping woman to heal from past issues of trauma and abuse and issues around families of origin are of special interest to me. Client evaluations for the court regarding substance abuse or mental health are also part of my clinical work.

Finding the right ‘person’ for yourself or a loved one can be beyond challenging. You want to know that that person will be truly engaged in what you have to say, won’t judge you by your thoughts or behaviors, and care enough about you to offer compassion and guidance through your toughest days. I’m familiar with this search, and I believe that I could be the person you need right now as you begin the work to your higher self. One of the first things I tell all of my clients is that they have to feel a connection with their therapist. You have to feel safe, supported and most importantly, respected.

Waitlist for new clients
I focus on women, specializing in working with those who have been through trauma, difficult life circumstances or feel they are generally not living up to their potential. This may manifest as low self esteem, depression, anxiety, re-occurring relational issues, difficulties with saying "no" to others, and a variety of other bothersome symptoms. I utilize EMDR therapy to process traumatic material, which has been very effective for many people.

Perhaps everyone around you thinks you have it all together. Maybe you're doing it all and managing a smile in the process. But, on the inside, is it chaos? Perhaps you landed here because you're not just managing to do lists, but fighting that voice in your head that tells you you're doing it all wrong, and that you're not good enough. You're working on boundaries, trying to communicate effectively and desperately trying to connect with those around you while trying to be the best at everything - Are you juggling ALL. THE. TIME? Exhausted, have nothing left to give, and no time for you? Well, not anymore. I'm glad you found me.

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.
