Motherhood isn’t what you expected. You’re overwhelmed, sad, exhausted, guilty, and anxious. The to-do list never ends and you’re not getting the support you need. Maybe you’ve struggled to create the family you desperately want and feel broken. There is nothing wrong with you. Sometimes we need support in creating boundaries and other times we need the courage to unlearn beliefs and habits. You may need to grieve all that was lost and start over. Womanhood Coalition helps women define motherhood on their own terms. Together we will work through the self-doubt, fears, and obstacles to heal wounds and transform.

In our lives we are all trying to maximize our happiness and minimize our pain. Our life situation can feel overwhelming, pain can feel constant, and happiness can feel far out of our reach. Unfortunately, sometimes what we thought would make us happy ends up bringing us more pain instead. I offer support and tools to help you re-orient yourself on your path toward cultivating happiness. I use a holistic approach to helping my clients, which may include a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Buddhist-oriented psychology/mindfulness strategies, emotion regulation, and communication skills training. I bring over 25 years experience as a therapist to help individual adults, teens, couples, and families to achieve their goals. I have a particular focus on helping people with anxiety and depression, substance use issues, work stress, family/marital conflict, and insomnia, chronic pain, and other health conditions. I also do testing for and treatment of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. I have an extensive knowledge of psychiatric medications, and I can be of particular help if you have questions about medications. I can help you to work more effectively with your prescribing doctor to manage your condition.

My work as a psychologist is rooted in a profound belief that by recognizing and honoring our complex, messy life stories with honesty and gentleness, we lay the foundation to heal the obstacles preventing us from building fulfilling, meaningful lives. Throughout life, we all create narratives about ourselves to help us survive. These narratives are shaped by myriad factors (individual life experiences, relationships, intergenerational legacies, and experiences of oppression/privilege, belonging/rejection, among others). Over time, our narratives and coping mechanisms fall short. We wonder, what went wrong?Why? What's wrong with me? Drawing from 10+ years of clinical training/experience,I provide a compassionate, empathic, culturally responsive, and social justice informed space in which we collaboratively unpack stagnant self narratives. In the process, we identify skills to translate insight into behavioral changes to enable you to live a life aligned with your personal values/goals. In coming to this site, you have taken a step toward self care, healing, growth—toward learning tools to build the life you desire. Whatever struggle, doubt, stagnancy, or questions bring you here, I have deep respect for your decision to take this step and I hope to be able to support your journey. I am licensed in both NY and CA and provide remote services

As a culturally affirming trauma therapist, my highest intention is to restore dignity to those who have been marginalized or exiled from our human community because of their traumatic experiences. I see therapy as a journey we embark on together, where I am invited not only to tread the well-worn paths of our shared humanity, but also to walk reverently into the sacred spaces of my clients' life stories. I approach this work with humility, deep respect, and a fierce commitment to my clients' well-being. I am known to hang in there when things get tough, and I enjoy a healthy dose of playfulness and humor in every relationship. For over 30 years, I have specialized in the treatment of childhood trauma and traumatic loss, self-harm, eating disorders, and adoption. I have also worked extensively with grief, depression, anxiety and school difficulties. As a member of the LGBTQIA community, I am privileged to work with those who identify on the LGBTQIA sexuality and gender spectrum. I know how difficult it can be to ask for help. Beginning therapy requires a great deal of courage and a willingness to loan your trust to a complete stranger. I will work to earn that trust and begin our work together at a pace that works best for you. I also offer a 25-minute free consultation session to meet one another and discuss any questions.

It’s not natural to live in a perpetual state of discontent and anxiety. Yet, this seems to be your experience lately. Your life feels incompatible with the way you dream about feeling in your wildest heart. Many days are spent going through the motions, bobbing along the surface hoping you don’t get pulled under. On these days you wonder if your vision of the life you’ve dreamed is merely a mirage in the desert…but you don’t believe so- something tells you there’s more. You have found success by many standards, yet you feel blocked from accessing more joy, ease, contentment, and embodiment of the things you picture yourself to be. I offer a unique combination of methods and modalities to help you access your full potential and FEEL better. My toolkit as your guide includes Somatic Experiencing, Equine Assisted therapy and coaching, nature informed therapy, attachment and relational healing, mindfulness, and parts work (IFS). In our work together, my hope is to empower you to heal patterns in that hold you back from the relationships you desire and the purpose filled life you've imagined from yourself. Together we will honor and heal what keeps you stuck, and expand your ability to feel joy, purpose, connection, and presence. I look forward to speaking with you!

My work as a therapist centers on relationships and the science of attachment. I work to help couples slow down, and start speaking from a heart space so that you can strengthen your relationship from a place of emotional safety and security. I work with individuals who are working through relational issues, and want to understand or change old patterns that aren't serving you now. I work with adults who deal with anxiety, and there's plenty to be anxious about in the modern world! I focus on helping you develop skills to regulate when anxiety feels overwhelming, and on parsing out what's in or out of our control. I specialize in working with anxiety, relationship issues, and couples. My style is psychodynamic, relational, and somatically rooted using both body and cognitions to generate healing. Some of my favorite modalities and theories include ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), attachment theory, and mindfulness. Like recovery, the therapy process is nonlinear, and the road can feel hard before it starts to even out. I am honored to sit with my clients in the uncertainty and hold space for this, until the light begins to show through. If you're feeling overwhelmed, you're not alone. Reach out to me, and we can start to hold some of those feelings together.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you felt prepared to deal with the stress of everyday life, traumatic experiences, or symptoms of depression and anxiety? It may seem like you have tried everything to take control back and don't know what else to do. You may feel like you struggle in every area of your life. It feels overwhelming, scary, lonely, and even hopeless at times. View 7 Photos I help people of all ages to develop the skills they need to take regain control of their life and feel happy again. We will work together to help you stretch and grow so you can achieve your goals. You are your own best expert on your life, and I am here to support you while you learn new ways to cope with life challenges. Oftentimes we compare our circumstances with others and dismiss what we are experiencing. My goal is to help you feel comfortable and safe talking about things that may be challenging. I work with preteens, teens, and adults in all stages of life and provide couples counseling, too. I look forward to working with you to find your peace from within.

Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you doesn't mean you can, should or need to do it alone. - Lisa Olivera. Together we can build a safe and collaborative space that fosters growth. Life can be messy, even demanding; we will have hard days; and that’s okay. I approach therapy with authenticity, compassion, and humor. Each individual requires a personalized therapeutic approach and I aim to cultivate that early on in our time together. I use an integrative approach to therapy with a focus on Acceptance and Commitment therapy, decolonizing and anti-oppressive therapy modalities. As a queer clinician, I strive to create and maintain a judgment free zone. Some areas of my focus include childhood trauma, relational trauma, religious deconstruction, attachment theory, anxiety, depression, stress management, and life transitions. In my free time, I love creating new memories and laughing until no sound comes out. When the weather isn't bad, you can find me by the lake with a good book, or tending to my outdoor garden. You can always find me listening to disco music, going to concerts, or cooking in my kitchen. Life is what we make of it.

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.

People are complex and life is complicated - sometimes we can manage alone and sometimes we need additional support. I'm here for those times that lean towards support. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or even bored with your current situation. You may have an urgent concern and insufficient tools to deal with it. Or, you might not be quite so sure what the problem is exactly, but know something isn't right in your core or spirit. You are probably seeking to change your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, or beliefs in some meaningful way. By being here and looking for a therapist in the first place, you're taking a brave first step. I believe that my clients are experts on their own lives - my job is to provide a framework and support for you to uncover your own unique solutions. My guiding philosophies are person-centered, existential, and transpersonal/mindfulness-based. I am also a CRC with a special interest in the intersection of disability, career, and mental health.

I am happy to meet prospective clients for free and non-committing phone consultations.

Many of us move through life wishing for bright days and glowing nights that flow with comfort and ease. Yet, achieving even a moment of balance in mind, body, and spirit often remains elusive. Life may throw us off, placing challenging blocks in our path. I endeavor to bring a gentle curiosity to the therapy space we co-create. My approach to the work of therapy is depth oriented, emotion focused and client driven. Our time together is likely to involve facilitated contemplative exploration, experiential intervention and an ongoing summoning of creativity in the service of generating a life more reflective of your authentic self. I'm a "well-seasoned" cis-gender woman and mother to a neurodivergent teen. I am a queer, neurodivergent, disabled therapist, deeply rooted in holistic and anti-oppressive ideologies. I am passionate about working with members of these communities as well as young adults and others who seek to experience more peace in their lives. With extensive experience working with college students, the LGBTQIA community, and neurodivergent people, I find I resonate deeply with other therapists, healers, artists, and creatives.

Have you experienced stressors so severe that you cannot seem to move on? You may try to put it out of your mind and avoid triggering things, but you continue to feel stuck reliving those painful and frightening memories. Feeling controlled by your past can make it feel like you are destined to suffer. I have wonderful news though—recovery is possible. Having worked extensively with trauma and Complex-PTSD (C-PTSD), I can say with certainty that there is light at the end of the tunnel. There is nothing more rewarding to me than walking alongside clients as they emerge from the grips of their past. View 8 Photos I use Brainspotting (BSP), a deeply healing modality, as well as EMDR.

Sometime we all feel unhappy, stressed, confused, or "stuck." Talking to an empathic and experienced therapist may be your first step toward developing new insights about positive change. My therapeutic approach is to encourage you to talk about your concerns openly in a confidential and safe environment where you will not be judged. A major benefit of therapy is to provide you with a second point-of-view on your personal material--a perspective other than your own. This process provides you with new ways to think about your choices and behaviors, and frees you to achieve your goals. I love working with clients who want to make their lives more joyful. I welcome clients from all walks of life, cultures, and backgrounds. I have worked with people on the LGBTQI spectrum throughout my career, even before those letters were meaningfully combined.
