Counseling is sacred work. It is through the vehicle of relationship, with both God and others, that humans were intended to experience restoration. While indeed relationships can be a source of pain, they are also a powerful force for resiliency. Through the therapeutic relationship, I enjoy coming alongside clients on their journey by providing a safe and compassionate space for exploration. Together we will go beyond just symptom management and work toward understanding the root of what you are experiencing. Whatever you are facing, you were never meant to do so in isolation.

There are seasons for renewal, change and healing. Seeking therapy is a brave and vulnerable step. My specialty is counseling children, teens, and adults who are strong, but feel weighed down by trauma, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, and self worth. Perhaps you are searching because something feels broken in your life: relationships are disconnected, or an event haunts you from the past, or your emotions are overwhelming. Perhaps you are plagued by hidden grief or rejection, and you feel restless or wounded as a result. You are not alone, and you don't have to stay stuck.

I help folx improve the satisfaction of their life through nurturing their relationship with food, their bodies, and through finding harmony with their trauma history...sometimes all at once. I use EMDR to address these issues and more, and offer EMDR in an intensive format to reach peak trauma resolution in shorter amounts of time than the traditional therapy format. If you're finding it difficult to move forward in your life- to achieve your goals and feel like your best self, you could be held back by your own limiting beliefs, and I'm ready to help you push past those beliefs to find your truest, authentic self.

There has to be an easier way to get through life. Anxiety, depression and constant stress can't be how everyone else feels all the time. You talk to your girlfriends, and they’re a great support but that relief never lasts. You feel like you’re running in circles trying this tip and that. You wonder if you might be broken. You’re ready for things to change - actually change - this time. You’re ready to get out of survival mode and let go of anxiety and insecurity. Most of all, you’re ready for your life to feel peaceful and authentic.

Many people are feeling hurt, stressed, anxious, worried, misunderstood, and unsure about change. Life can push and pull us into many directions until we feel lost and disconnected. As a therapist, I get the opportunity to listen, offer new perspectives, help problem solve, and support people to become the best version of themselves. Our thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected and changing one can create positive and supportive change in the others. I enjoy working with individuals who are open to learning new skills to create positive change and go after the life they want, a life they have worked to transform for the better.

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.
