Life transitions, unexpected changes, and traumatic events can impact our sense of self: what we believe about who we are, how we show up in the world, and how we interact with others. As a therapist, my goal is to provide an empowering, nurturing environment in which to discover a path towards healing, growth, and a more authentic connection with one’s self and with others, particularly following traumatic events. I strive to be affirming of the experiences of clients in the LGBTQ community, as well as other culturally marginalized and/or oppressed communities, and strive to meet clients wherever they are in their journey.

Have you found yourself in the space of feeling hopeless, anxious, or helpless after having a baby? Do you often experience thoughts that are uncomfortable or are not a reflection of who you know yourself to be? Are you on a journey to bring life into this world and struggling with feeling hopeless? Are you playing the blame game? Have you experienced the loss of a pregnancy? If you have experienced any of these and notice they are affecting your relationships with others. I want to provide a safe space for you as you maneuver through stressors such as pregnancy loss, infertility, birthing plans, and the perinatal/postpartum period.

Spicy? Artsy? Neurodivergent? Hypermobile? Me too. Those on the fringe are my favorite kinds of people. Your emotions are intense. You see the best and worst in life. It can get hard though; the anxiety, rage, and sadness hurt. You get impulsive - say and do things you regret. You can be a hot mess. The emotional roller coaster is exhausting - you've been riding it all your life and want off. Familiar? The good news is it's gonna be ok. You're not "crazy". You don't have to live in misery. If you think you might have Borderline Personality Disorder, or are just a highly sensitive person, Dialectical Behavior Therapy can help.

Shame is a minefield. It can steal our joy, kill our belief that we're worthy of healthy relationships and destroy who we see in the mirror. I've fought those battles in my own life and I know how easily they can leave you feeling hopeless, stuck, and resigned to destructive patterns. Together, we'll tackle the lies that life's traumatic moments have used to shape your story. We'll dig through the depression and reclaim your identity. We'll stand together against the anxiety and craft a plan for forward motion. Most importantly, we'll find hope that the change you need is possible.

Se dice que las familias son la base de la sociedad, pero también son objeto de constante agresión que busca derribar su estructura. Cada año somos testigos de cómo las familias/individuos se destruyen y lastiman a través de divorcios, adicciones, abandono de hogar, y violencia doméstica entre otros. Estos ataques producen diferentes tipos de resultados negativos que tienen que ser atendidos con sus respectivas características y peculiaridades. Cada caso es distinto, ejemplo: una pareja que se pelea y piensa en el divorcio requiere cierto tipo de atención, un joven que amenaza con irse de la casa es otro caso distinto.

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.
