Have you been conditioned to be quiet, to second-guess yourself, to feel hopeless, disempowered, or powerless? If you identify as a female, you've landed on the right profile for beginning your journey towards empowerment, healing, growth, and unveiling your true authentic self. Whether you are trying to conceive, endured a pregnancy loss, stillbirth or termination, have one or ten children, are a step-mother, going through fertility treatments, are a single mother, adopting, or not driving down this road at all and do not relate to childbearing, I would be honored to work with you. Empowering women is a hallmark in my practice.

My approach to psychotherapy is based on attachment theory which states that our first important relationships (namely, with our parents) influence how we relate to those closest to us now. As infants, we learn to do whatever is necessary, including distorting our thoughts and feelings, in order to maintain that connection. This early experience even affects brain development setting the stage for depression, anxiety and dysregulation. Fortunately, current relationships (including with a therapist) can provide a corrective experience. That is the beauty of psychotherapy - by understanding how our past affects our present we are better able to negotiate our future.

Regardless of what's happening, if you're ready to be happier at work, in life, and in your relationships, I can help you create the life you deserve.

Women face unique challenges throughout their lifetimes. Counseling and coaching are supportive tools that help us navigate ups and downs, meet personal goals, and understand ourselves more profoundly and meaningfully. Even when our outer worlds are seemingly at peace, many women struggle with past pain and trauma, unhealthy relationship patterns, prioritizing actual self-care, meaningful friendships, and health and wellness goals.

“I’m overwhelmed. I’m just so tired.” “I didn’t know being a mom would be so hard.” “I don’t want to parent the way I was raised.” “I just got clean and I want to stay clean and sober.” “My PTSD from childhood abuse/DV/traumatic birth gets in the way of my daily life.” These are things my clients tell me when we first meet.

My approach to treatment is to create a space that is supportive and empathetic so that the client will be in a place to build rapport, explore issues that are interfering with their quality of life, and develop a better sense of goals and the means to reach them. I operate from a Strength-based and Cognitive-behavioral therapy lens with elements of other modalities.

Are you exhausted from dealing with a narcissist or toxic relationship, whether it’s with a partner, ex, or family member? Have you tried everything to successfully interact with this person but still find yourself suffering, going in circles, and feeling utterly drained? You may even be questioning your own sanity, wondering if you’re the crazy one. To make matters worse, the toxic person may have manipulated others into believing they are the victim, and it’s unbearable to watch everyone else fall for their facade when you know the truth. You’re not alone and you’re not crazy. I have so been there and understand the struggle!
