Women's Issues

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.

A large part of my professional experience is working with young women as they navigate the patriarchal society we live in and the resulting difficulties, trauma, and marginalization women experience (with intersectional identities resulting in additional marginalization). My experience here includes working with sexual trauma recovery, intimate partner violence, harassment, stalking, etc as well as issues related to fertility, parenthood, and coming of age concerns.

It is a unique experience to live and grow in a society that often silences women. It is so frustrating to continue to settle for those relationships that don't truly elevate and honor who we are. We will work together to unlock your voice, move through the stuckness, and step into the powerful being that you are.

Women's issues encompasses a wide range of things that may be affecting your day to day life. As women, we experience day to day life bombarded by societal and cultural expectations that do not empower us. Knowing how much these external pressures affect your internal life is the first step in moving in a direction of radical self-acceptance.

Stephanie has experience with Women's Issues in practice.

I specialize in women's issues with a focus on building self-compassion, self-love, and resiliency. As women, we yearn for connection and a place to be ourselves. Together we can explore who you truly are. Additionally, I work with women entrepreneurs. You may find yourself linking your “successes” or “failures” to your worth. Navigating the pitfalls of business and keeping motivation is hard to do alone. Together, we can tend to your mental health while you tend to your business.

I'm passionate about serving women. I have had specific training around perinatal mood disorders (postpartum depression, anxiety, psychosis) as well as infertility challenges. I'm passionate about advocating for and encouraging women to create and maintain boundaries as needed and to define themselves how they choose to.

Balancing work, friends, love, and aspirations – how do you prioritize when everything is equally important? You’re expected to do it all but you feel like you are barely staying above water. You’re so busy building your career, that sometimes a social life or self-care seems out of reach – or maybe it’s the other way around – maybe your social life is great but you dread going to work everyday. Finding yourself is a lifelong journey and it helps to have someone in your corner.

I support women navigating identity struggles, life transitions, and work-life balance. My focus is on empowering women to overcome societal pressures, build confidence, and address emotional challenges, helping them find fulfillment and strength in their unique journey toward healing and personal growth.

I love working with the whole family system.

As a therapist specializing in women's mental health, I have extensive experience addressing a range of women's issues, including life transitions, relationship challenges, and balancing personal and professional roles. I work with women dealing with societal pressures, trauma, and identity struggles, helping them navigate these complexities with compassion and understanding. My focus is on empowering women to reclaim their sense of self and developing resilience.

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.

Women’s issues include concerns affecting emotional and mental well-being at different life stages, such as relationship challenges, career demands, reproductive health, body image, self-esteem, and significant transitions. Societal and cultural pressures also play a role. I offer a compassionate, holistic approach, providing a safe space to explore these complexities. I will support you in managing these challenges and fostering personal growth for a balanced, fulfilling life.

I am passionate about helping women navigate the unique pressures and stressors that they face in our society. I have extensive experience working with women across the lifespan (12-60yrs old), with a focus on young adulthood through middle age. I use an anti-racist approach to explore how intersectional identities interact with societal biases. Most of the women I work with struggle with perfectionism, indecisiveness, difficulty with assertiveness, and self-esteem issues.

I work with women and young adults in college or early in their career who are experiencing panic, social anxiety, ADHD/attention problems, stress, and job burnout. Most young adults who come to work with me are used to doing it all (and doing it well) on their own. While each woman’s story is her own, it’s helpful to remember that she doesn’t have to go at it alone. That’s why I provide tailor made therapy for women to support the unique struggles common to many women's experiences.

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.

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.
