THERAPY for WOMEN IN WAYNE, PA
For relationships, stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and more. In-person and virtual sessions available.
Nothing about the female experience is “easy.”
From an early age, women are handed expectations. We’re taught to prioritize others, smooth things over, and shrink ourselves in the face of conflict. Strength is expected, while softness is scrutinized. Emotional labor goes unseen. Health, hormones, and wellness get pushed to the background. And asking for more—more space, more respect, more care—gets dismissed as “too much.”
Over time, this can chip away at your sense of self. It blurs the line between love and responsibility, and between guilt and boundaries. When you’ve been taught to carry others first, learning how to carry yourself can feel foreign. But it is possible, and it’s not selfish. It’s necessary.
I help women come back to themselves—to their worth, their beauty, and the strength they may have forgotten but never lost.
Struggle doesn’t always look like falling apart—sometimes it looks like holding it all together.
This is a space for the versions of womanhood that rarely get named—and for the healing that begins when they finally are.
Maybe you’re the woman who…
-
On paper, it looks fine—success, happy kids, a seemingly beautiful life. But behind closed doors, your needs go unseen, your voice feels small, and you wonder if you’re just too sensitive. You constantly try to “fix” things and explain your feelings just right. No matter how careful you are, it’s never enough. Deep down, you feel like you’re the one disappearing.
-
You were the peacemaker, the one who saw dysfunction for what it was—even when no one else would name it. You were told to be grateful, to be quiet, to be good. Somewhere along the way, you learned it was safer to take the blame than to speak the truth.
-
Did I say the wrong thing? Was that too much? Should I have done it differently? You overanalyze every interaction, trying to stay one step ahead of disappointment, judgment, or conflict. What you want is peace—not just in your relationships, but in your own mind. Because constantly second-guessing yourself and worrying about everyone else is exhausting.
-
You’ve been told you’re too emotional or too sensitive. But what if you’ve spent your life feeling deeply in families or relationships that dismissed or diminished that? And part of you wonders: if I were different, would this be easier? The truth is, you’re not broken. You’ve just had to fight for things that should have come naturally—love, safety, and dignity.
-
Everything you do is for everyone else. You keep the schedules, plan the meals, and smooth over the tension. You haven’t had a quiet moment in your own mind in years. You snap, then feel guilty. You cry, then hide it. You’ve been so focused on being a “good mom” that you forgot how to be you. And if nothing changes, you fear you’ll burn out completely.
MY APPROACH
I meet you where you are without judgment or pressure, and without expecting you to have it all figured out.
We’ll begin with what feels hardest right now. From there, we’ll start untangling the patterns, pain, and protective roles you’ve carried for years. Not every woman needs the same thing, so I tailor my approach to you.
I use a blend of psychodynamic therapy and CBT. Together, we'll explore how your past has shaped the way you see yourself, others, and the world. Then, we’ll build new ways of thinking and responding that actually support you in day-to-day life.
This isn’t just therapy to help you cope—it’s therapy designed to help you change. You'll learn to set boundaries without feeling guilt, stop over-apologizing, and finally hear your own voice beneath the noise. Over time, you’ll feel more grounded, more present, and more like the version of yourself you’ve been trying to get back to—or maybe meeting for the very first time.

That’s more common than you think. It doesn’t mean you failed—or that therapy can’t work for you. With me, we’ll go deeper, clearer, and more directly into the root of what’s going on. I also offer neurofeedback, which can be especially helpful if you’ve done therapy but still feel anxious or stuck. You can learn more about it HERE. Sometimes your brain just needs a different kind of support—and that’s not your fault. Therapy here is about finding what actually works for you.

Only if it feels relevant. Sometimes the past holds answers to patterns in the present—but we’ll always move at your pace. I’ll never push you somewhere you’re not ready to go.

No. My role isn’t to hand you a list of instructions. It’s to help you stop outsourcing your decisions to other people and start trusting your own inner voice. I’ll ask questions, offer insights, and help you understand yourself—so you feel empowered to make choices that fit who you are.

You’re not alone—and you’re not a bad mom for feeling that way. Motherhood can be both beautiful and overwhelming. If you’ve lost yourself in the roles of caregiver, schedule-keeper, and emotional anchor, it makes sense you feel like you’re unraveling. Here, you can say the hard things without guilt—and rediscover yourself, not just as a mother, but as you.
