You deserve to feel happy—not anxious.
You’ve outgrown the ways you learned to survive.
Now it’s time to heal.
Trauma-informed therapy for women who want to feel free to be themselves
If you are here you Might Be Struggling With…
Anxiety and Overthinking – feeling on edge, worrying about what could go wrong, or replaying conversations long after they’re over.
Self-Criticism and Perfectionism – never feeling quite good enough, comparing yourself to others, or feeling like you have to work twice as hard just to keep up.
Relationship Difficulties – wanting closeness but pulling away when things get too intense, feeling stuck in relationships where you don’t feel seen, or fearing rejection if you speak up.
People-Pleasing and Boundaries – saying yes when you mean no, carrying others’ needs while ignoring your own, or feeling guilty for wanting space.
Low Self-Worth – doubting yourself, worrying you’re a burden, or struggling to believe you’re valuable just as you are.
Emotional Loneliness – feeling unseen, unheard, or disconnected—even when you’re surrounded by people.
Stress and Burnout – holding everything together, juggling too much responsibility, and feeling exhausted from the weight of it all.
Unprocessed Grief and Anger – carrying old hurts, regrets or disappointments that still affect how you see yourself and your relationships.
You are in the right place. My therapy is just for you.
Many of these struggles aren’t random, and they’re not a sign that you’re “broken.” They often begin in childhood, when we learn—consciously or not—how to stay safe and get by in our families, schools, and communities.
If you grew up feeling unseen or criticized, you may have learned to doubt yourself or work extra hard to prove your worth.
If closeness once felt unsafe or unpredictable, you may now pull back just when you want connection most.
If you had to take care of others early on, it may feel nearly impossible to put yourself first.
These protective strategies were smart and necessary at the time. They helped you survive. But over time, they can leave you feeling anxious, disconnected, and weighed down.
The good news: patterns that were once automatic can be understood—and shifted. In therapy, we work together to uncover where these ways of coping come from, and how you can move toward living with more freedom, ease, and genuine connection.
I’m here to help you feel free to be yourself—valued, connected, and alive. As your therapist, I’ll support you in untangling the patterns that keep you stuck in self-doubt, overthinking, or relationships where you don’t feel fully seen. Together, we’ll create space for you to trust yourself, speak your truth, and move toward the life you want—not just the one you’ve learned to survive.
When you start living from a place of self-worth and freedom, everything shifts. Your relationships deepen, your stress lessens, and you begin to feel more at home in your own skin.
And you deserve that ease, that aliveness, and that sense of belonging—with yourself, and with others.
In therapy with me, you can expect to…
Feel seen, heard, and accepted without pressure or judgment.
Slow down and make sense of the patterns that keep you stuck.
Learn how to soften self-criticism and relate to yourself with more compassion.
Build healthier boundaries and feel more comfortable saying what you need.
Experience more ease in your body through somatic (mind–body) awareness.
Strengthen your capacity for closeness while staying true to yourself.
Begin to live with more freedom, confidence, and aliveness.
Hi, I’m Ruth
My hope is to create a space where you feel deeply seen and understood—
where you don’t have to hold it all together or explain away what you’re going through.
A space where the parts of you that have worked so hard to cope can finally soften,
and where you can reconnect with the sense of ease, freedom, and aliveness you’ve been longing for.
I am a good fit for clients who…
Look like they have it all together, but inside feel anxious, overwhelmed, or exhausted.
Are tired of pretending to be “fine” and want a space where they don’t have to hold it all in.
Find themselves overthinking, second-guessing, or being harder on themselves than anyone else is.
Want closer, healthier relationships but sometimes pull back, people-please, or keep quiet to avoid conflict.
Carry a lot of responsibility—for work, family, or both—and wish for more ease and balance.
Sense that their struggles go deeper than stress or “bad habits,” and feel curious about why they react the way they do.
Are ready for a supportive space to understand themselves more fully and make lasting changes.

REVIEWS
"I strongly recommend Ruth to anyone seeking therapy. She created a safe space for me to feel heard and never judged. I’m in a much better place mentally and a lot of it is because Ruth helped me get there. She possesses many great qualities that make it easy to talk to her — she’s a great listener, deeply empathetic, smart, and kind. I will forever be grateful for my sessions with Ruth." —J. S.
"Working with Ruth was life changing. Our sessions helped me defragment the issues and root causes that were plaguing me daily and worsening my anxiety and depression. Even when I thought I had nothing to discuss, Ruth’s methods surprisingly led me to important discoveries that helped me along in healing. Ruth consistently provided books, other reading materials and techniques that were essential for emotional regulation. Never pushy or insistent, always kind, warm and made me felt really heard, seen, and understood. Highly recommend." —J. G.
"Ruth was a patient and encouraging therapist who respected me and my thoughts. I always felt heard throughout our years together. Ruth helped me become a better version of myself and for that I will be forever grateful."—T. S.
