Therapy for Women
Helping women achieve their goals.
I’m glad you’re here.
For twenty-five years, I’ve sat with women carrying more than anyone around them fully realized. Career pressure. Family responsibility. Quiet loneliness. Relationships that look functional from the outside but feel emotionally uneven beneath the surface.
Some arrive knowing exactly what needs to change. Others only know they can’t keep living the way they’ve been living.
My work is not about fixing you or forcing you into a rigid version of healing. It’s about helping you hear yourself clearly again beneath the noise, pressure, and expectations that slowly pulled you away from your own center.
Together, we make space for honesty, insight, steadier relationships, and the kind of change that actually holds once real life resumes.
What makes my work different
I notice patterns quickly
Years of leading therapy groups changed the way I listen.
I notice the places where you minimize yourself, overfunction for others, apologize before asking for what you need, or quietly disappear inside your own relationships.
Most people are not struggling because they lack insight. They’re struggling because the patterns are deeply ingrained.
That’s the work we untangle together.
I teach this work too
I’ve taught graduate-level students group therapy and interpersonal process, systems theory, and practicum at Pepperdine University.
Teaching continually deepens my understanding of relationships, emotional patterns, and the factors that enable people to create change.
Teaching is my passion.
How we work together
Women usually arrive carrying more than one conversation inside them.
Usually, it’s relationships, pressure, old patterns, grief, responsibility, or the quiet realization that the life they built no longer fully fits who they are.
My approach is relational, direct, and engaged. I ask questions, notice patterns, and help connect insight to meaningful change. Sessions are active and collaborative, not passive places to endlessly revisit the past.
What tends to surface in therapy
- The conversation you keep avoiding
- The decision that still follows you years later
- The version of yourself you lost track of somewhere between what everyone needed and what you wanted
- The pattern you recognize but can’t seem to interrupt
- The grief, anger, loneliness, or resentment that never fully had a language
- And if what you’re carrying isn’t listed, we’ll make space for that too
Not sure where to start? That’s normal.
A consultation gives us a chance to talk through what’s bringing you here and whether working together feels right. If we move forward, we’ll begin making sense of the patterns, pressure, relationships, or internal noise that’s been hardest to carry alone.
My practice fills quickly. If I’m full, I can place you on the waitlist or help connect you with another therapist.
I provide therapy for women in person in Yorba Linda and by Zoom for clients across Orange County and throughout California.
