Women's Issues

We as women have a unique experience of this world. There are many explicit and implicit messages we receive from society. From the way we present ourselves, to expectations surrounding careers and motherhood, we receive many conflicting messages that can have negative affects on the way we perceive ourselves. I can help you untangle your beliefs about yourself from the expectations others may have of you.

Women experience issues with infertility, feeling drained and unseen in the world and that is where I come in. Together we can work to take ownership of your place in the world. Each of us are valuable and we deserve to be seen and heard; we deserve to take up space. My hope is to help create that space for women where they can feel safe and beautiful.

I specialize in providing support for clients that self-identify as female. The feminine identity is tied to social constructs that can feel limiting, disempowering, sexualized, perfectionistic, and much more. My goal is to help clients better understand their connection with themselves and gain an understanding of one’s authentic emotions. I help women with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, workaholism, substance use concerns, adult children of alcoholics, and, relationship issues.

I specialize in working with women facing a wide variety of concerns This includes issues like stress, relationship Issues, low self esteem/self worth, feeling Inadequate, balancing multiple roles, etc. My goal as a counselor working with women is to assist in developing positive strategies to manage these struggles, while coming from a place of personal understanding on gender and how it may play a role.

Over the years, most of my client-base has been women. As women, there are unique challenges that inform and influence how we navigate the world, how we see ourselves (how others sees us), and how to juggle the many roles we fill everyday. On top of everyday things people experience, women also have to deal with concerns in politics and personal safety. I work with women to further boundaries, increase self-confidence, and empower them to not settle.

I have experience working with women of all ages, and love to help women (and girls!) through the concerns they are facing at all stages of development. Each woman's journey is different, but all women face systemic pressures that affect them personally. I love to help women contextualize the their own concerns within these systemic pressures, and help them navigate their world in ways that work for them.

Traumatic experiences, such as physical, emotional, & sexual abuse, neglect, cultural, gendered, and racial trauma, and growing up in a chaotic or stressful family, are stressful events that can exceed our ability to cope. We move on as best we can from these experiences, but often find that we continue to struggle which can show up in our lives as emotional dysregulation, anxiety, upsetting memories, fear, difficulties in establishing trust, or unsatisfying relationships.

When I was 18 I decided to focus my education and my profession on issues that are shaped by binary gender norms. I was among the first class at my university to graduate with a degree in Women's Studies and I am proud that I made that choice so long ago. Since that time I have continued to draw from this educational experience and I shape my practice around the need for gender equity in relationships and our lives overall.

I have an understanding and appreciation for many of the unique challenges, expectation, and difficulties woman face. I enjoy working with women of all ages and backgrounds. Whether your struggle with women's health, issues related to pregnancy or parenting, or relationships I would be honored to help.

I’m passionate about helping women shift how they relate to their stress, anxiety, worry or fear through the skills of self-compassion, self-expression, boundary setting, coping and acceptance. Ultimately, I enjoy helping women learn how to trust themselves, follow their hearts and live life more fully. I also work with women in relationships who struggle with relationship distress, sexual inhibition, sexual desire or who have been betrayed by their partners.

Therapy tailored to common concerns among women; providing a safe and understanding space to address life challenges, stressors, and questions around identity as a woman

In today's society, women are more empowered and more stressed out than they have ever been. As their voices and visibility grow louder and brighter, so does the pressure women feel to "have it all" and to "do it all flawlessly." This cultural and internal pressure has detrimental effects on physical, emotional and spiritual health. I open my door to you to have a safe space to make mistakes, embrace your flaws as beautiful, and to own that you are enough just as you are.

Being a woman is magical and beautiful but it does not come without struggle. Let us make sense of what you are going through with respect to the female experience in modern society.
