Supporting women through the complexities of body, voice, relationships, and identity
Your body carries stories that deserve to be heard
As women, we navigate layers of experience that often go unspoken—the physical realities of our bodies, the weight of invisible labor, the pressure to be everything to everyone, the silencing of our own desires and needs. These aren't just challenges to manage; they're invitations to reclaim wholeness.
You don't need to be "fixed." You need space to be fully seen.
A Holistic Approach to Women's Wellbeing
My work with women integrates over thirty years of dedicated study in mind-body healing—from my training as a Registered Nurse in reproductive medicine, to two decades as a kundalini yoga teacher, to specialized expertise in trauma therapy, sex therapy, and maternal mental health. This foundation allows me to address the interconnection between your physical body, emotional experience, and relational life.
Women's health concerns are rarely just physical or just psychological. When you experience pelvic pain, it affects your sense of self, your sexuality, your relationships. When you carry the mental load of managing a household, your body responds with exhaustion and dysregulation. When you lose your voice in relationships, it shows up in how you inhabit your body.
"Through holistic and integrative practices, I help women create more compassion for themselves, more capacity to feel the hard stuff, and more understanding of how to manage the stressors and impacts of our history, our environment, and our bodies."
Areas of Focus
The Mental Load
The invisible work of managing a household, anticipating everyone's needs, holding the emotional labor of relationships—this cognitive and emotional burden is exhausting and often unacknowledged. We address how this impacts your nervous system, relationships, and sense of self.
Pelvic Pain & Sexual Health
Conditions like vaginismus, vulvodynia, painful intercourse, and pelvic floor dysfunction are deeply intertwined with nervous system regulation and emotional experience. As a certified sex therapist, I work with both the physical and psychological dimensions of sexual pain.
Perimenopause & Hormonal Transitions
The physical and emotional shifts of perimenopause are profound. Changes in mood, sleep, energy, desire, and sense of self deserve attentive, informed support that honors both the biological and existential dimensions of this transition.
Voice & Self-Advocacy
Many women have learned to silence themselves—to accommodate, to smooth over, to prioritize others' comfort. Reclaiming your voice means learning to recognize your own needs, express them clearly, and navigate the relational impact of showing up authentically.
Body Disconnection
When you've experienced trauma, chronic stress, or cultural messages about what women's bodies should be, you may find yourself disconnected from physical sensation, desire, or intuition. Somatic work helps restore this connection.
Identity & Life Transitions
Whether navigating motherhood, career shifts, relationship changes, or the complexities of cultural identity, transitions often require renegotiating who you are and what you need. This work honors the multiplicity of women's identities.
How We Work Together
My approach draws on multiple modalities tailored to your specific needs:
Trauma Therapy (EMDR, Deep Brain Reorientation): To address how past experiences live in your body and nervous system—whether that's birth trauma, sexual trauma, or the accumulation of smaller relational wounds.
Somatic & Body-Based Practices: Informed by decades of yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda, I integrate body awareness and nervous system regulation to help you reconnect with physical sensation, desire, and intuition.
Sex Therapy (AASECT Certified): Addressing sexual pain, desire discrepancies, pelvic floor dysfunction, and the psychological dimensions of sexual wellbeing with specialized training.
Relational Therapy (EFT): Understanding how patterns in your relationships—with partners, family, children—shape your experience of yourself. This includes working with couples when relational dynamics need attention.
Maternal Mental Health Specialization: As a PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certified) therapist, I bring specific expertise in fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum, and the unique mental health needs of motherhood.
Cultural & Identity Work: Having conducted research on women's identity across cultures and completed a grant-funded study on Eastern-Western women's sexual self-concept, I understand the complexity of navigating multiple cultural identities.
What Makes This Work Different
Few therapists integrate the depth of training I bring—from nursing and reproductive medicine, to two decades of yoga and meditation teaching, to advanced trauma therapy, sex therapy, and maternal mental health specialization. This allows me to work with the full complexity of women's experience: mind, body, relationships, sexuality, identity, and spirit.
I also speak to the realities of high-achieving women—those who have built impressive lives while simultaneously carrying immense invisible labor, who show up powerfully in the world while feeling disconnected from themselves, who have learned to override their bodies' signals in pursuit of excellence.
You deserve therapy that sees all of you. That honors your intelligence while making space for vulnerability. That addresses your physical body alongside your emotional experience. That takes your relationships seriously while centering your own wellbeing.
