Sometimes in life, it can all feel like too much. Maybe it's one big stressful thing or maybe it's a bunch of small thing that have all added up. With life and work or school and relationships with family or friends... it can start to feel like you're losing the balance of it all. Maybe you have painful experiences from the past or are so afraid of what the future might look like. We all deserve a safe place to share our stories and find our path to a healthier version of ourselves. My job as a therapist is to support that process and empower you to see the strength you have to get there! Contact me to get started!

My favorite quote is to 'begin with the end in mind' by Stephen R. Covey. To achieve our end goal we need to know who we are and where we want to be. My goal is to help clarify who we are and to set measurable and attainable life goals. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Committment Therapy, and Narrative Therapy in my approach to helping my clients integrate their past into a meaningful present that leads to an abundant future. During our sessions we will weed out negative self-talk, establish our core values, and move towards a brighter and more meaningful future.

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.
