Women's Issues

Are you exhausted? Feel like you’re doing everything and going nowhere? More than 1 in 5 women experience a mental health disorder in their lifetime. The difference between normal stress and mood dysregulation and a mental health disorder is characterized as “clinically significant distress” but we so often minimize our own distress that we believe we simply aren’t coping well or that we’re just a mess. I'm here to be a safe space for you to heal.

Women are effected in a unique way by social stressors and work/family life. Since the pandemic, the pressure on women in both career and home have accelerated. For some women, this has meant leaving work to be home, creating anxiety about finances and feeling unfulfilled. For others, it has meant a shift in career and needing to take on more responsibility while feeling depressed and isolated. I assist women in finding their voice and working on their goals, while helping find balance.

Examine facets of your potential

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!

For women in particular, life transitions, especially ones that are tied to physical changes in our bodies (puberty, pregnancy, aging, menopause) can greatly impact our views of our selves. At the same time navigating this amidst societal beliefs about women that don't reflect our needs is challenging. My goal is to help women learn to filter through external beliefs, ideas, and messages and learn to trust their own experience and develop more agency and confidence in the choices they make.

I have worked extensively with women throughout my career.

No one can be strong and confidant in every area life all of the time, therapy is a safe place to bring the fears, worries, dreams and desires that you can’t always share with your partners, family or employees. You deserve to receive the kind of care and attention that you give to other people. You deserve a support system that is as thoughtful and wise as you are.

Women experience a variety of individual stressors in life. I work with these issues and specifically address the impact they have on decisions and relationships.

I support women in exploring areas of sexual identity, vaginal pain, sexual pleasure, and sexual trauma. Additionally, with a background in reproductive health, I support women who are managing pregnancy, IVF, postpartum depression, and navigating ever-changing identities.

I primarily work with women-identified adults who have experienced trauma. I use holistic, somatic methods to help women: - validate and express emotions including anger - cultivate inner strength, intuition, trust and creativity - connect to sensual pleasure and empowered sexuality - develop more satisfying relationships on your own terms - navigate patriarchy and gender oppression I especially love working with queer/bi women seeking to explore their sexuality and gender expression.

All my training and reading has stressed issues of self-esteem, lack of assertiveness, and the cost of a patriarchal society on girls and women. Have helped many women change their self-image and body-image along with that.

I help support women in working through the issues that are most important and unique to them such as overcoming limiting beliefs, building confidence, and boundary/relationship issues. I have been working primarily with women, including female entrepreneurs, for the past 15 years.

I work with women at all stages in their lives. I have particular training and background with perinatal mental health challenges including infertility, infant loss, new parents, new identities and mom and parenting challenges. I have been working with the Baby Blues Connection organization for over 10 years and work with clients individually, a couples and in groups. I have personal experience in this arena and find this work important and much needed for our communities.

In my practice, I assist many of my clients in making sense of their womanhood- whether that is coping with the restrictive expectations placed on women by society, exploring the nuanced experiences of women of color, or creating space for the meaningful celebration of trans womanhood, I offer an environment for all women to be proud of their story.

It is really hard to be a woman in today's society with politics, the patriarchy, the exhausting standards, the glass ceilings and the constant high expectations for a life that you might not even want. I can help you set boundaries with yourself and others, determine what you do want in life, and figure out how to get it while holding an understanding of what it's like to be a woman in our world today.

I am deeply committed to supporting women as they navigate life's challenges and pursue personal growth. My work is focused on empowering women to overcome obstacles, discover their inner strength, and cultivate resilience. I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space where women can explore their needs, heal from past experiences, and develop the tools necessary for thriving in all areas of life. My goal is to help women step into their authentic power and live with confidence.

With expertise in women's issues, I provide tailored support, empowering women to navigate life's challenges, from mental health to learning how to own their voices and narratives, and minimize shame and doubt.

I love working with teen girls and adult women navigating complex health issues, chronic illness, chronic pain, infertility and birth trauma. Learn third wave trauma informed CBT tools like DBT, ACT and somatic exercises to navigate overwhelming emotions, feelings and life events.
