You struggle inside, even though people think you have it all together.
You feel like you're disappointing people no matter how hard you try.
You want to stop feeling scared or overwhelmed.
Is it possible you haven't felt like yourself since a loss or trauma?
Women need a therapist who understands the psychology of women. One who can offer you the safety of another woman who gets how much you expect of yourself. Let's figure out together what's not working and how to change it. Get beyond the sabotaging influence of the past and develop the self-confidence you need to get whatever you want.
I have been doing therapy as a licensed MFT since 1987. I specialize in depression, trauma/PTSD and the anxiety, phobias, or panic that result from trauma. I help increase self-confidence and resolve grief. I am fully trained in EMDR and find that it provides amazing transformation for people with trauma symptoms. About half of my clients identify as lesbian, bi-sexual or queer; a quarter women of color. Yes, I work with plenty of heterosexual and European-American women and some special men too.

"Depression is very different from sadness. Two of the clearest differences are the self-attack and pessimism that accompany depression. Sadness, alone, doesn’t cause us to hate ourselves or blame ourselves. Nor does it cause us to interpret our past, present and future as terrible and hopeless.
Depression, however, comes with a classic pattern that basically gets down to: “I’m bad; I’ve always been bad; I’ll always be bad;” and/or “my life is bad; it’s always been bad; it’ll always be bad.” Obviously people don’t usually think in these exact words, but it is experienced as a pervasive sense of being unforgivable, or of failure, defectiveness, lack of lovability, hopelessness, or powerlessness."
If you want nothing to do with any particular religion, but still want some kind of spiritual life, this book will teach you many ways to develop a spiritual life that is just right for you.
"I just wanted to let you know it was a very insightful and thought-provoking read. Thank you for writing it."
"I think this book needs to be available to the many people out there who are struggling with this very issue; how to find a HP in these troubled and ever-changing times."
"I think this material could go really far and change people's lives."
