About
I am dedicated to a therapeutic approach that helps **female-identified individuals** feel good now. My task is to help you build your own mental health practice, not to make therapy the practice. I encourage clients to participate in therapy for three to four months, returning as necessary. Profound healing can happen quickly. As you begin to feel improvement and growth, stepping back from weekly sessions presents the space necessary to notice and stabilize the gains you have made. It is here, in periods of informed reflection, that the natural process of brain change begins to unfold. We know this because approaches to therapeutic change have shifted rapidly in recent years. Contributions from related disciplines have helped us understand why traditional talk therapy is effective, and how to distill its healing power. As a result, my approach is able to accelerate outcomes, while building enduring psychological change. Transformation does not require an endless number of appointments. Profound change does not need to take years. If we begin with the assumption that the human system is both complex and equipped with powerful drives toward harmony, we can tailor effective therapies that offer you the means to care for your mental health and maintain your own emotional well-being.
