Anxiety Sun, Depression Moon and Bipolar Rising. I am excited to meet you and start this new adventure. I have over 20 years of experience working as a women's health nurse practitioner and am now transitioning to mental health and wellness.

Please email me and I can give you details on how to schedule an appointment. I am open to seeing new patients and plan to take many common insurance plans.

Are you feeling anxious, worn out, at the end of your rope, not knowing where to turn, depressed, even hopeless? Has a long line of caregivers failed to help you? Have you been on medications, seemingly forever? Have these never really delivered or are they no longer working as they once did? Or have they shown troublesome side-effects or perhaps even stopped working all together ? If so, you might like to have a pair of fresh eyes take a look at your issues and get another opinion. So, make use of your no cost/no obligation initial phone consultation to ask me whatever questions have been weighing on your heart and mind.

Women's Issues Psychiatrists

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.
