Hello and welcome to my practice. Through our work together, the women I work with move from merely coping to thriving- reclaiming their power, speaking their truth with clarity, and taking up space in the world with calm, unapologetic confidence. The result is a life that feels grounded, whole, and one you are deeply connected with. It will be my profound honor to go on this healing journey with you.
In our first session, we will start with brief introductions, including basic office protocol. Then, I will continue with the Intake, gathering background information. Then, we will determine your goals for therapy, which we will use in the follow-up sessions. I spend most of the session listening to the client to understand the issues and what the client hopes to gain from therapy.
I have been practicing for 16 years, and my passion has always been to help others. I am a good listener, and I trust my ability to be a wise guide on your journey. I believe that everyone has the answers within themselves to make the right choices. If you are ready to engage in the work of personal growth and healing, I am here to help you.
I help women in their late 20s to 50s—independent, accomplished, and insightful—tired of carrying invisible wounds that quietly shape their lives. Beneath your success, many of you may wrestle with anxiety, self-doubt, and the lingering impact of childhood sexual abuse or unresolved trauma. Shame, perfectionism, and inner criticism often keep you playing small in your career, relationships, and sense of self-worth. I would be able to see a client who has Aetna insurance or Kaiser insurance within 48 hours if necessary.
DBT is a powerful tool that can teach you how to regulate your emotions when past or present events may trigger you. I like to explain that we may get stuck in our emotional mind, when sometimes we need to access our rational, logical mind. DBT will help you to use both emotions and logic to create a wise mind.
Many of our behaviors are unconscious and outside of our awareness. We must first know our behaviors and beliefs when we want to make changes.
