As a therapist specializing in women in their 20s and 30s, I've observed a pervasive challenge: the relentless pressure to achieve perfection, excel in every area, and meet the expectations of others. This often culminates in feelings of exhaustion, self-sabotage, and burnout—issues that deserve far more attention than they typically receive. Navigating significant life transitions—whether it’s college, graduate school, building relationships, or starting a family—can leave many feeling adrift and overwhelmed. If you’re grappling with self-doubt, please know you’re not alone in this struggle. I invite you to join me in a conversation where we can explore these feelings together and work towards finding clarity and balance.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and expectations, then dive into the specific challenges you are facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I’ve crafted a reliable approach to help you (a) uncover the underlying causes of your challenges and (b) develop a customized plan that ensures tangible progress.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am uniquely positioned to support women, especially those navigating significant life transitions or grappling with anxiety, self-doubt, and stress. Many of my clients face challenges such as starting college or graduate school, entering the workforce, cultivating relationships, and managing the pressures of personal and professional growth. For many of my clients, past trauma has deeply influenced how they view themselves and their place in the world, leaving them feeling disconnected or inadequate. Empowering Women in Their 20s and 30s: I work closely with young women who are dealing with perfectionism, burnout, and the strain of balancing multiple roles. Together, we address the impacts of past traumas that may contribute to these feelings, helping them navigate the complexities of career aspirations, personal relationships, and societal expectations. By blending evidence-based techniques with personalized support, I empower my clients to not only overcome their challenges but also to thrive during these pivotal moments in their lives. My goal is to help them build resilience, heal from past wounds, and create a fulfilling future.

My treatment methods

Eclectic

I use an eclectic approach to therapy, which involves integrating various therapeutic methods and techniques tailored to each client’s unique needs. In my practice, I combine elements from different therapies—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic approaches, and mindfulness practices—to address diverse issues effectively. Using an eclectic approach allows me to adapt my methods based on what works best for each individual. For example, if a client is struggling with anxiety, I might use CBT to address negative thought patterns while incorporating mindfulness techniques to help them manage stress. If someone is dealing with deeper emotional issues, I might integrate psychodynamic methods to explore underlying causes and improve self-awareness. This flexibility ensures that therapy is personalized and dynamic, offering clients a range of tools and strategies to navigate their challenges and achieve their goals.
