Therapy for Women
My passion is helping women lead their best lives.
Are you frequently worried that you aren’t good enough or that you aren’t doing enough? Do you tend to care for others really well, but not yourself? Do you feel stressed or overwhelmed by the many roles and relationships in your life? Are you struggling with parenthood, trying to build a family, or coping with an issue related to women’s health?
Being a woman today can be challenging.
Women have more choices, but also more commitments and expectations than ever before. Women are typically working hard to manage many aspects of their personal, professional and family lives, making self-care and personal wellness difficult to achieve.
"Sometimes when you lose your
way you find yourself."
~Mandy Hale
Your mental health matters.
What would be different in your life if you felt better? Would you feel more connected and present in your relationships? Would you be more confident as a parent or in your career? Would you have a sense of ease and optimism about the future? You deserve to have the time, space and support to focus on your mental health. As women, it is critical that we practice effective self-care so that we can be the best version of ourselves.
Often, counseling is part of a good self-care plan. By focusing on our own mental health needs, we are then able to be more helpful and attentive to the important people in our lives. I have dedicated my life’s work to providing guidance to women and I am here to help you gain the strength, confidence, and clarity needed to tackle life’s challenges. I want to help you to make decisions confidently, to heal emotionally, and to thrive in your life.
Therapy is helpful for treating many areas of mental health.
People come to therapy for many different reasons. Nearly everyone can benefit from the support of a therapist and a safe space to process feelings and examine challenges. I work with women who are dealing with a wide range of issues, including:
Stress
Anxiety
Depression
Relationship or parenting concerns
Family of origin issues
Trauma
Bereavement/Grief
Low self-esteem
Negative body image
Combining work and family
Adjustment to Life Transitions
And more….
I also enjoy working with women who are seeking therapy for the purpose of self-growth and exploration. This type of work is useful for women who want to take a deeper look at their goals, values, and the things that give meaning to their lives. Through therapy, women become more self-aware and empowered. They are better able to understand and attain what is truly important to them, and they can set goals accordingly.

My Approach to Individual Therapy
I believe that my role as your individual therapist is to provide you with a safe, supportive and collaborative environment. Through therapy, I will support and empower you to make wanted changes in your life. My approach is integrative, holistic, and tailored to meet your individual needs and goals.
In my practice, I draw on a number of evidence-based modes of therapy. These include mind-body therapies, cognitive behavioral therapy (cbt), acceptance and commitment therapy (act), mindfulness, positive psychology, EMDR, and solution-focused therapy. During sessions, you can expect me to be active and engaged, and to build on your strengths and experience. I will also be unconditionally supportive, encouraging, and non-judgmental as we work together to address your challenges and reach your goals.
Whether you are dealing with a temporary problem or want to engage in longer term work on complex issues, I can help. I hope you will contact me so we can discuss how we can work together. I believe every woman has the potential for satisfaction and fulfillment in life, and I would love to help you on your path to wellness.
