As an Associate Counselor my goal is to support you by providing a safe space to explore what's on your mind for those located in Pennsylvania and Washington. As a certified yoga instructor and therapist, I believe in taking a holistic approach to wellness through the the power of your thoughts. This is what drew me to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). It's a fancy term that explores the connection between one's thoughts and their actions. While working together we can explore how negative thought patterns can ricochet into our daily lives and seek how to shift those thoughts into something more positive.

My clients are primarily women. Whatever calls you to therapy can be the beginning of new possibilities. The pressures of external stressors, anxiety, depression and patterns of living can let us know that deeper changes are trying to happen in us. But how does an inner world reveal itself and offer its un-lived resources? A therapeutic relationship initiates a process of experiencing more about oneself. Many of my clients have been in therapy before and know that such a process can help release new energy and awareness. Listening to yourself sometimes begins with someone really listening with you.

Or maybe it’s that they're not making progress on meaningful things and instead seem caught up in surviving day-to-day.

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.
