Difficult and painful experiences can leave lasting effects on both body and mind. Trauma may shape how your nervous system responds, your ability to stay present and concentrate, your capacity to trust, how safe you feel in your body and relationships, and even how you view yourself and the world. Over time, it can feel hard to stay grounded, connected, or whole. Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to heal, restore a sense of safety, rebuild trust, and strengthen your connection with yourself and others. It can also help you reconnect with your ability to navigate life from a place of calm and joy rather than fear. You don’t have to carry this alone. Healing is possible, and I’m here to help.

Our relationship with food and our bodies is deeply personal, often complex, and always evolving. You may find that thoughts about food or body image consume much of your day, or that your mood and sense of self-worth feel tied to eating behaviors, weight, or body shape and size. Struggles with dieting, restricting, bingeing, purging, emotional eating, rigid eating rules, or over-exercising can leave you feeling trapped, anxious, ashamed, hopeless, or out of control.  It doesn’t have to stay this way. Things can get better. Therapy offers a non-judgmental, supportive space to explore these struggles and your relationship with yourself. Because recovery looks different for everyone, we’ll set goals that honor your unique needs and pace. Along the way, therapy can help reduce shame, uncover the roots of these patterns, build self-acceptance, shift behaviors that no longer serve you, and support you in moving toward lasting freedom, confidence, and peace of mind.

Living between cultures can be both enriching and challenging. You may struggle with acculturation, identity, language, a sense of belonging, prejudice, discrimination, or balancing different cultural expectations at home, work, or in relationships. Therapy offers a supportive, culturally informed, anti-oppressive space to explore these experiences, honor your background, and strengthen your sense of self. Together, we’ll work on helping you navigate cross-cultural stressors with greater resilience and confidence.

Living with anxiety can feel overwhelming and debilitating—racing thoughts, constant worry, restlessness, panic, or physical tension that doesn’t let up. Anxiety can affect your sleep, relationships, work, and ability to feel present in daily life. In therapy, you’ll learn practical tools to calm your mind and body, reduce worry, and feel more grounded and in control.

Relationships are an essential part of the human experience. They can be deeply meaningful, but they can also bring conflict, disconnection, loneliness, self-doubt, and pain. When relationships feel strained—or when it feels difficult to form or maintain them—it often affects every part of our well-being. You may notice recurring patterns, struggle with communication, or feel unseen and unheard in your closest connections. Or you may long for deeper connections but find it hard to create or sustain them. Therapy can help you better understand yourself and your relationships, uncover dynamics that keep you stuck, and develop healthier ways of relating—so you can build stronger, more authentic connections.

Throughout different stages of life, women often encounter unique challenges that shape their mental health and well-being. You may be struggling with gender roles and expectations, motherhood, work/life balance, burnout, relationships, identity, or sexuality. These challenges may be compounded by reproductive health concerns, infertility, pregnancy, postpartum changes, or the effects of hormonal shifts such as perimenopause, menopause, or PCOS. Therapy offers a supportive and affirming space to navigate these experiences, gain clarity, strengthen your sense of self, and prioritize your well-being.

Major life changes—whether planned or unexpected—can leave you feeling anything from stressed and overwhelmed to anxious, panicked, depressed, numb, irritable, or uncertain. Career shifts, relocation, divorce, or parenthood may stir up old wounds or make you feel unsteady about the future. Therapy provides support to process these transitions, strengthen coping skills, and find clarity, so you can adapt with resilience and create a meaningful path forward.

As someone living with a chronic illness or facing cancer, you know it can affect far more than just your body—it can bring uncertainty, fear, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, anger, shame, guilt, grief, hopelessness, exhaustion, and strain on your relationships, identity, and quality of life. If you are a caregiver, you’re also going through it. Caregiving can bring its own mix of demands and complexity, along with unspoken needs and emotions that may feel difficult to acknowledge. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to process the impact of treatment, survivorship, caregiving, or ongoing health challenges. Together, we’ll focus on strengthening resilience, restoring hope, adjusting to a new reality, and helping you live as fully as possible.

Grief and loss can touch every part of your life—your emotions, your relationships, even your sense of self. You may experience waves of sadness, depression, anger, regret, fear, numbness, or emptiness, and wonder if things will ever feel “normal” again. Or you may find yourself in “survival mode,” trying to convince yourself and others that you’re okay—afraid that if you stop to process what has happened, you’ll feel overwhelmed by your emotions, fall apart, and stop functioning. I see you. Therapy offers a compassionate space to share your story, honor your loss, and move at your own pace, while gently helping you find a way forward.
