I am a highly skilled Licensed Clinical Psychologist with specialized training in multicultural psychology, trauma, and women's issues.
I am a relational psychotherapist, which means that I believe relationships (with family, friends, coworkers, higher powers, our relationship with our self, etc.) often play a role in our suffering and, yet, also play a crucial role in our healing. Relatedly, the relationship between the therapist and client is of utmost importance and requires trust and authenticity for both parties involved. In my work with clients, I use a variety of individualized, eclectic approaches to help each person meet their goals and needs. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, empowering, and collaborative.

I specialize in women's issues, such as learning how to establish parenting-work-life integration and bring emotional intimacy into relationships.
If a person experiences physical pain, seeking treatment is expected. To me, it is important to do the same when one experiences emotional and/or mental pain. Whether it be lack of balance, understanding a past/recent traumatic event, or navigating difficult relationships, life can leave us feeling off balance and disconnected from people and things that mean the most to us. Being able to help people heal from emotional pain, restore connections, and find joy in their lives is my greatest passion.

Using a person-centered approach, my specialty areas include Internal Family Systems, grief and loss, men's and women's issues, trauma and aging.
Feeling overwhelmed and frustrated when outcomes do not meet your expectations? Burdened with beliefs that keep you feeling stuck? Increased emotional reactivity and negative behavior? Experiencing pain and suffering from a recent loss of a loved one, job, relationship or even a pet? These symptoms are difficult to treat on your own. They need openness and validation from a professional. A place to calm the nervous system and feel safe to vulnerably explore the issues at-hand. I take great pride in providing that environment. Someone did that for me and it transformed my life. It would be a privilege to do the same for you.

My areas of specialization are: bariatric pre-surgical evaluations (weight-loss surgery evals), depression and anxiety, women's issues, disordered eating (compulsive overeating and binge eating), self-esteem issues and relationship issues.
My practice is founded on the belief that despite our life challenges, there is a silver lining behind each dark cloud that is waiting to be found. Whether the rainbow represents a diverse group of people coming together, the promise of a better life, or a pot of shining gold waiting at the end, one thing is true: rainbows are often a symbol of hope, and that is exactly what I hold for each person with whom I work: HOPE.

Let's face it: life is messy. We are all broken people living in a broken world and doing the best that we can. And sometimes our best just doesn't seem to be good enough. We can find ourselves disillusioned and heartbroken and yet we don't know how we wound up here. We long for more out of this life and yet we don't know how to get there. Whether you are grieving a loss, struggling to make a decision, or simply find yourself stuck in a rut, counseling can help you understand not just the origin of your problems but also assist you in developing practical coping skills and solutions.

There are few things harder than asking for help. Sometimes people seek counseling for this help and sometimes they just want to make positive changes in their lives.  I aim to build genuine and productive connections with clients, incorporating a relaxed setting and humor when appropriate. Counseling may be a hard journey, but things like trust and comfort level can create an ideal setting for growth. - I am currently taking on new clients. However, I am not seeing couples, those struggling with eating disorders, or substance abuse.

You’re trying to navigate all of the transitions that come with being a teenager or young adult in the world. Maybe you feel overwhelmed and isolated as you try to do it all on your own. Transitions aren’t easy, whether you’re moving from one career to another, out of relationships that no longer serve you, or from college to graduate school. As hard as it can feel when you’re in the midst of it, these changes offer an opportunity for you to explore where you come from, who you are, and who you want to be.

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.
