I primarily work with tween and teen girls ages in 6th grade and up. I also provide parenting consultation and support. I see kids typically experiencing anxiety, stress, peer difficulties, family complexities, and/or low self-esteem. My style is based on being an approachable, funny, and down-to-earth adult who your child can trust. My job is not to solve their problems but to help them develop the tools to do so themselves without experiencing high-stress levels. I have a specialty in the behavioral approaches to child and teen weight loss for kids struggling with overweight or obesity.

I offer my clients a non-judgemental space to be heard and sort through their feelings. I aid my clients in building self-compassion and tools for feeling better about themselves. Whether you struggle with your relationship with food, body, or sense of self, I believe it is possible to heal. My clients tend to hold themselves to high standards, spend much of their energy caring for others, and have a hard time putting themselves first. I believe therapy is an avenue for realigning your priorities and understanding how your personal history has informed how you feel today.

Change can be really tough. Chances are, you’re probably repeating similar patterns over and over. We all do this. It can really help us at times—if something goes well, let’s keep doing it, right? But then what do we do when it doesn’t go well or when it's no longer working for us? What do we do when it seems like each time we’re doing the same thing and getting the same response, and it’s not what we want? These patterns can go on for so long and when we finally want to do something about it—well, it can be super daunting to untangle what feels like a giant, complex, layered knot.

A former film industry professional, I was drawn to counseling in order to fulfill a passion for helping teens and young adults discover who they want to be in the world. I bring authenticity, warmth, and humor to every session. My relational approach to counseling rests on the notion that no matter how uphill, twisty, or dark a path may be, walking it with someone is always easier than walking it alone. With deep clinical experience in both hospital and academic settings, my work primarily focuses on trauma, depression and anxiety, and issues within the LGBTQIA+ community.

When was the last time that you felt truly listened to, heard & understood? You more than likely talk to many people throughout your day but how often are you making connections with others that feel truly authentic? Many people are currently feeling isolated even when surrounded by others because they do not have someone in their life creating a welcoming and safe space that allows them to feel comfortable enough to share their worries & struggles. Therapy can be this place, where building a trusting relationship with a compassionate practitioner can allow you to feel seen & can support improvements in your health & well-being.

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.
