Women's Issues

I support women navigating challenges related to identity, relationships, career stress, motherhood, and societal expectations. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, self-doubt, life transitions, or burnout, I offer a space to explore your experiences and empower you to set boundaries, embrace self-care, and build confidence. My approach is trauma-informed, feminist, and culturally aware, recognizing the unique pressures women face in today’s world.

Women face a myriad of issues like shame, guilt, trauma, exhaustion, parenting, and relationship issues and need spaces where they can process. I enjoy journeying with women toward feeling safe empowered and helping them navigate spaces in the world, especially those that have been traditionally male.

From an early age, women are taught to take care of others, feel unrealistic expectations for their bodies, careers, and family, and are targets of unwanted sexualization, leading to shame, fear, and anxiety. Therapy can help you connect with your Sure Self, manage anxiety, set boundaries with unrealistic expectations, and feel safer in your body. Many of the people I work with struggle with perfectionism, self-esteem, and burnout. You're not alone.

My approach is built on a foundation of feminist, anti-oppression values. I believe therapy is ineffective if the greater social context a person lives in is not examined critically; most of the time, doing so is empowering for all genders.

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.

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

Leveraging my dual perspective as a clinical therapist and a woman, I offer empathetic support to clients facing women's issues, informed by extensive training in multicultural challenges affecting women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ communities. My approach blends professional expertise with personal understanding, creating a nuanced, supportive environment for navigating complex issues and fostering empowerment and growth.

As women we juggle so much! We strive to succeed in our careers, maintain our close relationships, and manage our responsibilities. Sometimes this blocks us from making self-care, fun, and relaxation a priority. When life then adds unexpected and challenging stressors on top of an already jam packed schedule, the stress can almost feel like too much to handle. There is no need to go through challenges alone! Call today so we can determine if AROSE eTherapy is right for you! Relief is a call away

Examine facets of your potential

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’s issues can encompass a broad spectrum of experience, but a common denominator is identifying with a group who has faced marginalization in overt and more invisible ways for millennia. Living well as a woman looks different for everyone – and so I aim to help my clients imagine a supported, hopeful and vibrant life, then set to work creating that. As women we can hold ourselves back unconsciously, so I’ll occasionally hold a mirror up to challenge my client’s views and judgments.

I specialize in women's issues such as grief with pregnancy loss, infertility, and self-esteem/body image. I understand the loss that we can feel when our world has been turned upside down. My job is to help you process and navigate this loss and together we can cultivate some acceptance by rewriting your reproductive story.

I practice through a feminist and social justice lens. I believe our various identities shape our experience in our relationships and in our world.

Do you struggle with feeling valued, seen or heard? Have you felt untethered to your self-image or uncomfortable in your body? I work with women to develop confidence and feel comfortable in their bodies at any size. Together, we will explore with curiosity the ways in which you struggle and feel pain, and how you have learned to cope and adapt. Unlearning and processing what makes life hard for us can be a daunting task. Asking for help when you need it is brave first step.

I have experience in aiding women in addressing self-esteem and body image concerns. Furthermore, my expertise extends to facilitating the successful reintegration of new mothers into the workforce. Additionally, I specialize in assisting first-time mothers in adapting to their new routines and responsibilities.

I am rooted in intersectional feminism, passionate about helping women love themselves deeper and address concerns unique to their identity. I love to work with clients who may be struggling with body image or insecurity. From working with women who have experienced abuse, abortions, miscarriages, and infertility, to my personal struggles with motherhood, I know how vulnerable and difficult these life experiences may be. I bring compassionate guidance to my work so clients may feel empowered.

Presenting Fem can be intensely frustrating and confusing. People tell you when, how, and even if you should have a family. You work twice as hard to get half as far. Your body is a topic of legislation. The way you present your woman-ness, the size of your body, the clothes you wear, your sexuality, the way you speak- is under constant critique. There are so many "rules" for how to live and they're all in conflict and changing constantly. Let's talk about how YOU want to live your life!

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.
