However, I also really enjoy working with young people and women's issues as well as with anyone going through life transitions, such as divorce etc.
My ideal client would be someone who has reached the point where they realize that what they have been doing is no longer working. They understand that it is time to be open to and consider the benefits to making positive changes in their life. This person is ready to examine the areas in their life that have become blind spots, and are willing to address those blind spots in a safe, compassionate and fruitful way.

I care deeply about women's issues and pride myself on offering a supportive environment to explore pain and traumatic events.
I love working with clients who want a better understanding of the deep interior of their mental, physical, and spiritual function in relation to the world around them and the relationships they engage in. Using an eclectic and collaborative approach, the relationship I build with my clients is deeply rooted in the Humanistic tradition of treating others with unconditional positive regard. Paradoxically, many of our wounds are created in painful relationships that make us scared to trust other people, yet these wounds can only be healed within the context of relationship; therapy provides this opportunity.

I specialize in trauma, self-esteem, women's issues, and antagonistic relationships, so I wonder if I can support you in a way that can help you move forward on your journey.
Women I see often share they feel “stuck" in unhealthy life and relationship patterns, and that no matter how hard they try, they find themselves repeating cycles they just can’t seem to get out of. These experiences often impact their self-esteem, friendships, relationships, and how they navigate the world- which can be so hard. With the help of EMDR and IFS therapy, I feel confident our work together can unveil a more authentic version of you.

All within the context of the invisible labor that we manage. Therapy does not always consider women's unique challenges. This is invalidating and blocks effective solutions.

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.
