Our thoughts, beliefs and bodies reflect our emotional struggles. We often come to therapy when old ways of coping aren't working anymore- when we long for comfort, relief, or more authentic and deeper connections in our relationships. The whole person needs to be addressed in times of crisis, transition and loss. Healing is a word derived from the German hailjan- “to make whole.” I work with a holistic, acceptance-based and contemplative approach to psychotherapy. Practicing self-compassion and self- acceptance lead to less reactivity and more peaceful, integrated and intentional lives.

Coping with life stressors, healing from painful experiences, and making personal changes can be extremely difficult. Having support during these kinds of transitions can aid you in resolving problems, finding peace, and achieving personal goals. My practice is focused on working with women who are coping with the effects of past trauma and/or painful life events, as well as, women coping with health issues that are effecting their well- being. Additionally, I enjoy working with other therapists pursuing therapy for their own self-care and personal growth.

My specialties are in working with older adolescents (16+) and adults struggling with trauma, disordered eating, depression, anxiety, grief, breakups & life transitions. By working together, we help you or your teen create new ways to deal & heal from life's toughest challenges. Much of my work focuses on healing from difficult emotions related to current or past experiences, setting boundaries, challenging diet culture, body neutrality, building self-esteem & acceptance (especially in the era of super unrealistic social media pressures), and fostering healthy relationships with yourself & the people you care about.

Do you focus on making everyone around you happy, but forget to prioritize yourself? Are you a millennial whose relationships often feel "uneven"? Are you parents difficult to manage or estranged? Do you believe that Spirituality & mental health are intrinsically interconnected? Are you curious if psychedelics could help you move through stuck points? If you find yourself saying "yes" to ANY of these, you have come to the right page. I specialize in working with Spiritual millennial’s raised by emotionally immature parents who have been conditioned to be a “good girl”, regain their confidence & inner freedom.

Feelings act as messengers, guiding us toward a fuller, more vibrant life. They help us uncover what’s right for us, bring meaning to our experiences, and inspire growth. Yet, for many, unresolved trauma and nervous system dysregulation can create barriers, making it hard to fully engage with those messages. When we're stuck in survival mode, it’s difficult to process emotions, trust our inner wisdom, or experience authentic connection.

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.
