You Were Meant for More Than Just Getting Through the Day
You go through the motions. Smile when you're supposed to. But inside? It's all shallow breathing, racing thoughts, and that sinking feeling that something's off. I help women in Castle Rock stop white-knuckling through life and start feeling like themselves again through practical, neuroscience-informed therapy.
I Know What It's Like
Are you lying awake at 3AM replaying every conversation from today? Second-guessing every decision, feeling like you're never quite enough despite doing everything for everyone else?
As a woman, a mom, and a therapist, I know what it's like to look like you've got it together on the outside, while quietly unraveling inside. I've sat with women who are tired of holding everything together for everyone else.
The Questions That Keep You Up at Night
"Why does this feel so hard when everyone else seems fine?"
The pressure, the guilt, the impossible standards you hold yourself to.
"Why am I so anxious about things that shouldn't matter?"
Racing thoughts, second-guessing, feeling like you're never doing enough.
"Why do I feel guilty for wanting something for myself?"
Constantly giving to others while your own needs take a backseat.
"Why can't I just say no without feeling terrible about it?"
Struggling with boundaries, people-pleasing, and losing yourself in others' expectations.
What It Feels Like When You're Steady Within
That spiraling sensation? The panic? It stops running your day.
You stop fearing emotions and get the self-trust to handle them.
You stop reacting from stress and start responding from steadiness.
You slow down and say what matters, without the guilt or second-guessing.
This Is Where Everything Can Shift
You're smart, capable, and the one everyone else leans on. But lately, you've been exhausted from trying to keep it all together. In therapy, we'll work together to untangle the stories that keep you stuck and help you finally feel powerful in your own life again.
Stop Reacting from Emotion
You know that feeling when your day gets hijacked by one comment, one email, one look? Learn to respond with intention instead of getting swept away.
Set Boundaries Without Guilt
Tired of saying yes when you mean no? Of feeling guilty for wanting something for yourself? It's time to choose yourself without the guilt spiral.
Show Up Confidently
Whether it's at work, in relationships, or just existing in the world - stop second-guessing yourself and start trusting that you know what you're doing.
Create More Joy & Ease
Life doesn't have to feel like you're always behind, always stressed, always "on." There's a version of your life that feels so much lighter.
Why Women's Specialized Therapy?
Understanding Your Experience
As a woman who understands the pressures of modern life, I get the challenges you face. From perfectionism to imposter syndrome to the mental load of managing everything, your experience is validated and understood here.
Tailored Approach
Women's therapy isn't just therapy for women - it's therapy that understands how gender, society, biology, and life experiences uniquely impact women's mental health and well-being.
A Different Kind of Therapy
This isn't traditional "talk therapy" where we just rehash problems. I offer a different kind of support: one that blends the emotional depth of counseling with the practical momentum of coaching and the clarity of education. This is strategic, neuroscience-informed therapy designed to get you steady fast and help you finally feel like yourself again.
Regulate Emotions in Real Time
Learn to understand your emotions, name them, and respond in ways that align with who you want to be - even in the hardest moments.
Shift the Thoughts That Keep You Stuck
Stop getting trapped by racing thoughts and worst-case scenarios. Build self-awareness without judgment and learn what your thoughts actually mean.
Take Meaningful Action
Move past survival mode into a life you actually want. Get clear on what matters and take steps toward the life you're meant to live.
You Deserve to Love Your Life
Not just survive it. Not just tolerate it. There is a life that is so much sweeter than this. A life that feels so much better.
You're not meant to live in emotional survival mode, numb one day, overwhelmed the next. That heaviness and quiet ache inside is a sign that you're ready to learn the skills that will make you feel steadier. Feel joy again.
What If You Could:
Here's What I Want You to Know:
No one taught you how to feel, how to process emotions, name your needs, or choose yourself without guilt. You've been surviving on strategies that look like achievement, caretaking, or powering through. They worked. Until they didn't.
But you can learn. And when you do, everything changes.
Ready to Stop Just Surviving and Start Thriving?
You don't have to white-knuckle through life anymore. Schedule your consultation and take the first step toward feeling steady, confident, and like yourself again.
Frequently Asked Questions About Women's Therapy

Women's therapy addresses the unique pressures, expectations, and experiences that women face - from societal expectations to hormonal changes to the mental load of managing multiple roles. It's therapy that understands your specific context and challenges.
Do you accept insurance for women's therapy?
I currently accept Medicaid only. For those without Medicaid, I offer sliding scale rates. Please call to discuss payment options - your mental health is worth investing in.

The length of therapy varies based on your goals and needs. Some women see significant improvement in 8-12 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support as they navigate different life phases and challenges.
What if I've never been to therapy before?
That's perfectly okay! Many women come to therapy for the first time feeling uncertain. Our first session is simply about getting to know each other, understanding what brought you here, and discussing how therapy can help. There's no pressure - we go at your pace.
