With 18 years of experience, I specialize in working with women's issues - from women in their 20's, facing dating challenges and life transitions, navigating life in a new career and post college, to helping women of all ages with anxiety/depression/stress.

I specialize in women's issues, work/life balance, grief, sexual assault/rape recovery and adjustment disorders.
Life and its challenges can get pretty overwhelming! I strive to work collaboratively with people to create positive changes in a caring and non-pathologizing environment for those who are struggling with a variety of problems. My guiding approach to effective therapy focuses on seeing the problem as separate from the person. I believe that people are the experts of their lives. I choose to sit in a place of curiosity to help you uncover already present strengths or develop new approaches to life's challenges.

I work with substance abuse with co-occurring disorders, family and friends of substance abusers, people in life transitions, women's issues and couple's therapy.
I have been a therapist for 10 years. This has been a lifetime goal for me. I waited to become a therapist until I had the time in my life to dedicate myself to this career. My life experience has brought me to a place of openness and acceptance of everyone's life journeys. I have worked with all different types of people in many different walks of life. Everyone wants to be heard when life is not as we expect it to be. I believe that is what therapy is all about, being heard.

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.
