Research indicates that women suffer from depression, anxiety, and eating disorders at disproportionate rates. Many women endure perhaps the most intense form of stress--interpersonal trauma ( e.g., rape, domestic violence, child abuse). An even larger proportion of women experience chronic high levels of stress, as they attempt to balance their responsibilities as professionals and their roles as mothers, wives, and daughters. I have been committed to improving the lives of women for the past 25 years. My professional training and experience have focused on effectively addressing the most prevalent issues among women. I strongly believe in empowering women to overcome obstacles, trust their instincts, learn new coping skills, and achieve greater balance in their lives. I utilize an integrative approach and empirically-validated forms of therapy. In addition to my focus on women's health, I enjoy working with men and couples as well.
