As a foreign-born immigrant from Bulgaria, I work especially well with people from collectivistic cultures like my own. If you desire a transformation in your life, I offer supportive skills balanced with authentic and collaborative techniques aimed at identifying patterns that keep you from showing up as your best self. I offer a fresh take on therapy that balances evidence-based strategies with grounding mind/body approaches.

I also specialize in veteran care, SMI, women's issues, & childhood trauma.
It has been my honor and privilege to work with a variety of individuals from all walks of life. In that work, I've found therapy to be most beneficial when clients: have a desire to change, even the smallest amount of hope that change is possible, and they are open to topics and techniques (some of which may be non-traditional) that may assist them with making desired and long-lasting changes.

Although I am an intake and assessment therapist, my ideal client is a woman who is struggling with parenting alone and division of labor despite having a partner. I love working with moms and have a passion for bringing awareness to the married single mom syndrome. I believe women are more than their labor, and I'm on a mission to help women put themselves first.

My ideal client is motivated for therapy. Their issues can include spiritual confusion, perinatal struggles, relationship concerns, family conflict, boundary needs, and/or a desire for greater self-awareness. They desire true change, which comes with a combination of empathy, education, and constructive feedback, if necessary, from the clinician.

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.
