As women, oftentimes life demands a huge amount of our energy and mental capacity. In order to keep up, we tend to neglect ourselves or our relationships. When this happens we can begin to feel unbalanced. This constant demand can lead to overwhelming feelings of worry or sadness. We may worry about our future, the people in our lives, or things we need to get done. Additionally, at times we might feel as though we are being tested or triggered by unresolved issues or people from our past. This along with other challenges is bound to leave us feeling completely drained and out of balance.

My view on successful psychotherapy is that it provokes insight, motivation and productivity for you, not only in session but out in life. Together we create a purely confidential, client-focused relationship to distinguish your desired outcomes. Then, using a blend of mind-body and cognitive-behavioral techniques, we explore your thoughts and how they shape the way you feel and behave. We also develop new patterns of thought and behaviors to create the way you want your life to be. Lifestyle behaviors such as diet, exercise, self-care and social interaction also come into play as they shape the whole person.

Did you ever wonder what your life would have looked like if you had made some decisions differently? Did you ever have anyone to help or guide you, unconditionally, in exploring all your options in making those decisions? My focus as a therapist is about learning your strengths and resilience to find the best version of yourself, identify and validate all layers of your emotions, and help you create solutions for life's challenges. I enjoy working with individuals looking to build a strong sense of self, who may be struggling to balance their own needs with the needs of others.

Do you desire to live your most authentic life? Maybe you don’t know what it looks like. You might even feel afraid to find out. Life can feel scary at times. And sometimes we face moments that overwhelm us, and that cause us to shut down and disconnect.

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.
