“Therapy is more than just venting to someone.”

As a teen, therapy was one of the first places I remember feeling seen and understood. I worked through my anxiety and codependency issues and it changed my life. And I have a feeling it may change yours.

Therapy is for everyone, and I am committed to creating a non-judgmental, sensitive, empathetic, and humor-filled space where therapy no longer feels intimidating. Therapy is more than just venting to someone. It involves identifying the thoughts and behaviors keeping you stuck as well as the life experiences and other influences that may have shaped these patterns. I want you to be able to really get to know yourself and feel empowered to move forward in the world and create a life you love.

My therapeutic approach pulls from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). However I tailor every session to meet the unique needs of my clients. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, self esteem, parenthood and eating disorders across the spectrum. Many times our eating disorders or their behaviors function to keep us feeling safe, in control, and valuable, so learning how to make it to the other side can be difficult. I’m here to walk you through that process.

Kind Words From Real Patients

“No practice has helped me the way Therapy for Women has.”

“I have been to many therapists for trauma work but no practice has helped me the way Therapy for Women has. This practice is based on mutual trust. Your therapist will happily share bits of their own life experiences. This always makes me feel less alone in what I am experiencing and make sessions feel so comfortable. I really think this practice is something special and I am SO happy I found it when I did.”

“Therapy for Women empowers clients to see change in themselves.”

“Therapy for Women offers a fresh and modern approach to therapy which involves empowering clients to see change in themselves. They give you tools to supplement what’s talked about in session so you can go home and practice life skills. This step has been so crucial for my long-term recovery and emotional stability. The therapists genuinely care for each client. No matter why you go to Therapy for Women, these women WILL change your life. I really can’t thank them enough.”

“Therapy for Women has saved my life and then stuck with me to help me rebuild it from the bottom up.”

“In addition to individual therapy, I'm in a weekly group. I've created wonderful friendships here. It's also functioned as a safe space for me to experiment with things like stating my needs, getting vulnerable, setting boundaries, and receiving feedback from a non-therapist. Therapy for Women has saved my life and then stuck with me to help me rebuild it from the bottom up.”

“They just genuinely care about their patients.”

"I found this center when I needed it most in life. They matched me with a few therapists and first time was a charm. The center itself is very quick to act if you need anything. I see a psychiatrist within the practice as well and he too is amazing. They just genuinely care about their patients. You don’t feel like a time slot to them."

“…the very first therapist they hooked me up with was my perfect match.”

"Finding the right therapist is the hardest journey when you are already at your worst. I've tried multiple and none were working for me. But then I was told about Therapy for Women Center and the very first therapist they hooked me up with was my perfect match. We've been together coming on 2 years and she has really been amazing."

“The office has a soothing atmosphere, you immediately feel comfortable and at ease.”

"Happy to have found Therapy for Women Center. I can feel a change in my thinking and lifestyle and it is a huge difference from a year ago. So grateful! The office has a soothing atmosphere, you immediately feel comfortable and at ease."
