Women's Issues
Claiming your power, pleasure, and peace
The teenage years, body image, finding your place at work, understanding your professional self, balancing it all, discovering who you are as a mother or not a mother, holding on to your creativity, moving into your post-menstrual years, and claiming joy and pleasure through all these stages. Plus, relationships! These aren’t issues for the faint of heart. And too often, the message from the world is to smile pretty and push through.
This is a different kind of space. Together, we’ll explore how your nervous system, attachment patterns, and adaptations to the world around you have both helped and hindered you along the way. We’ll make room for what’s actually happening in your body, your relationships, and your inner world, and find a version of this chapter that feels like yours.
Peri/Menopause
Your hormones are doing a lot. Let's help you keep up.
Perimenopause can last four to ten years, which is a long time to be awake at 3 a.m. composing replies to emails you haven’t received yet. Add brain fog, tears at a commercial, and a flash of rage over a slow grocery line, and it’s easy to think something’s wrong with you. It isn’t. Estrogen and progesterone run a lot more than your reproductive system, so when they start swinging, everything else swings too.
Therapy won’t change your hormone levels (that’s for your doctor), but it can change how this feels. We’ll make sense of what’s happening and practice some tools for getting through the rough moments. You’re not losing it. You’re recalibrating, and it goes better with backup.
The In-Between Years
Navigating Transitions
Some transitions are exciting. Some are painful. Most are both at once, and nearly all of them unsettle our sense of who we are and where we're headed. Transitions ask us to let go of a version of ourselves that used to fit and grow into one that doesn't quite exist yet — and that in-between can feel disorienting.
This is especially true for teens and young adults, facing so much change in so little time: starting high school, applying to colleges, the first semester away from home, a breakup, a first job, moving back home when things didn't go as planned.
Wherever you are in the shift, it's a genuinely good reason to have support. Together we'll steady the ground under you, make sense of what's shifting, and help you move forward with more clarity and confidence: grounded, but not stuck.
Anxiety
Settling the nervous system
Anxiety isn’t a flaw or a failure. It’s a nervous system doing its best to keep you safe, often based on lessons it learned a long time ago. But it’s also exhausting. Through an Interpersonal Neurobiology lens, we won’t just try to think our way out of it. We’ll pay attention to what’s happening in your body, notice the patterns underneath the worry, and build real, practical tools that help you feel grounded so you can move through the world alert but not on edge, present in your own skin, confident and competent.
You don’t have to be in crisis to want this kind of support. If anxiety has been making your life smaller than it needs to be, that’s reason enough to reach out.
Trauma & Grief
integration-based therapy
Trauma and loss don't stay politely in the past. They live in the body and the nervous system, in the way you startle, brace, shut down, or replay. Grief works the same way: it isn't a problem to be solved so much as a weight to be carried, and it deserves to be honored rather than rushed.
My approach is integration-based. That means we won't try to erase what happened or talk you out of your feelings about it. Instead, we'll help the pieces (the emotions, the bodily sensations, the memories, the relational patterns) come into greater coherence, so the experience takes up its rightful place in your story instead of overwhelming the whole of it. The goal isn't to "get over" it. It's to move through the world more freely again, validated and supported, at your own pace.
All Kinds of Minds
Including Neurodivergent-Affirming Support
Everybody deserves a therapist who sees their whole self.
Neurodivergent individuals, gifted kids, people from different cultural backgrounds, queer and gender-nonconforming folks, and others who don't fit "the norm" often get treated like their difference is something to explain, justify, or smooth over. My job isn't to correct you toward "typical." It's to help you understand yourself clearly and build a life that actually works for who you are. I ask questions instead of assuming and take my cues from you rather than a checklist or a cultural default. If you've felt that past experiences asked you to shrink, translate, or mask parts of yourself to be understood, I'd like this to be different.
Come as you are — that's who I'm here to work with.
