Women's Issues

Many women face specific challenges related to child-bearing. Perinatal issues can really impact a woman's life, and can impact hormones, mood, and overall life outlook. I work with women who are going through various struggles, such as: infertility, miscarriages/stillborn deaths, loss of a child, health issues associated with pre-pregnancy/pregnancy/post-pregnancy, and postpartum anxiety and depression.

Many of today’s solutions for women are to just “fake it til you make it” or to take that one-size-fits-all online course, leading so many to feel like you’re never going to be able to overcome your struggles, or make you feel that you’re not doing it good enough because it didn’t really work. I work with women 1-on-1 to navigate complex societal challenges that women and femme folx experience. With so much pressure women have on them, Our therapy together helps you remember you are enough!

So many women struggle with the notion of not feeling worthy or good enough. Negative societal messages and often familial narratives create a whirlwind of "shoulds" that may not fit you. I welcome you to explore those constructs and retain what works for you and break free from the ones that don't! I invite you to an affirming space where your individuality is valued, embraced and celebrated! Let's work together to develop your own unique narrative!

I have a passion for working with women who have experienced any sort of past or present trauma; Physical Abuse, Verbal Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Sexual Abuse, and Narcissistic spouses. I believe that women who have suffered any kind of trauma need a safe space to talk about their feelings and discuss next steps in their life with no judgement.

It's completely understandable to feel exhausted after a lifetime of trying to achieve unrealistic expectations, but that doesn’t have to keep you from taking steps towards the fulfilling life you desire. Pour some energy into yourself again. Reclaim your clarity and confidence. I help high achieving women find relief from stress, burnout, anxiety, and deep emotional pain. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

As women, we experience so many life transitions. Whether its marriage, a divorce or relationship breakup, having children or becoming empty nesters, we seem to always be in flux. These transitions can often bring up feelings of anxiety, depression and/or grief. Women also have many expectations placed upon them and sometimes self-care becomes ignored and/or avoided which can ultimately lead to burnout.

Women's issues are relevant to all individuals, including non-binary and trans individuals, who experience any combination of biological, societal, relational, or occupational challenges based on their gender identity. I work with these individuals on identifying areas of their lives where oppression prevents optimal self-expression and freedom to thrive. Counseling helps my clients become more positive about themselves and their self image, as well as increases self-advocacy and confidence.

Relationships, careers, emotional burnout, caretaking, codependency, past trauma and so many other things rob the peace from women's lives way too often. I'm here to listen to your personal struggle and help find ways to manage the chaos, address the underlying issue or find new solutions that seemed elusive before. Let me help you feel understood, validated and walk you through the storm to a place of calm that can be your new reality for every day.

Empowering women through EMDR Therapy & Brainspotting, I specialize in navigating the unique challenges women face. In collaboration with you, I offer a therapeutic journey that goes beyond healing your gender-specific trauma to fostering resilience and personal growth. Your well-being is my priority.

As a woman, I understand a lot of the struggles that we face. I also recognize the power that we have and the importance of harnessing that power to discover who we are so that we can operate in the fullness of who we are. I am here to help you improve your self-esteem and sense of self, identify your values, implement and maintain boundaries, and provide tools to help you manage your anxiety and/or depression.

I love to help women to see themselves clearly. With all of the struggles that life can bring. It is important to feel grounded within yourself as you approach the emotions, struggles, traumas, griefs, and joys.

Being a professional woman and balancing work, family, responsibilities, hobbies (wait, who has time for hobbies, you ask), may feel like you're constantly on the go. It's common for busy women to experience feelings of anxiety and depression, and lowered self-esteem. Therapy is a great place to process life and relationships. Are you ready to ground yourself and feel more connected? Contact me for a 15-minute phone consultation.

Women are equally free and controlled by self, family, community, and society. We are free to be ourselves as long as it meets pre-set standards. We are free to speak up, as long as it's not too loud. We are free to dress how we want, as long as we are okay with the "consequences." We are free to have a career, as long as it allows us to take care of the home. I invite you to come process how society has kept you from seeing your true self and true potential.

Women's issues are hard to describe. We are expected to be everything, but now acknowledge it. To take care of everyone, but not ourselves. The expectations of women pull us further an further away from ourselves. It's time to return home to your body, where your wisdom is waiting for you to tap back into.

I employ a feminist approach to empower clients to explore the profound influence of patriarchy on their lives. Through a collaborative therapeutic process, I assist clients in gaining insights into societal expectations, fostering self-awareness, and building confidence. My goal is to support women in breaking free from oppressive norms and cultivating a sense of agency in their personal and social spheres.
