Women's Issues

It is my life's mission to help women recover from the depression and anxiety caused by striving for perfectionism.

I can help you identify practical strategies to overcome barriers to happiness and health using strength-based, solution-focused interventions and evidence-based best practices. I incorporate an understanding of the science behind how brains and bodies work to help you comprehend the 'why' behind your experiences and use the information to make sustainable changes. My approach can include homework and resources to support growth outside sessions and help you maximize your time

My education, nonprofit work, professional, & personal experience allow me to have a deep understanding of the unique perspectives of women of all ages, & refines my ability to provide precise treatment & support for the overall mental well being of women. I prioritize creating a sense of safety & trust in therapy that offers women the experience of being heard & validated, increasing self worth, & building confidence that empowers her to use her voice to execute the change she needs & wants.

As a woman myself, I can help navigate life struggles and difficulties in order to develop a skillset that helps with empowerment and life balance.

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.

My passion for helping women comes from years of experience working with women in both medical and mental health settings. Navigating through life’s challenges during the many biological and psychosocial changes in a woman’s life can be difficult to manage. These issues can include but are not limited to Infertility, Postpartum, Miscarriage, Menopause, Medical Diagnosis, Divorce, Adult Dating, Abuse, Single Parenting , Parenting Adult Children, Loss of a Spouse, Body Image, and Career Changes.

I specialize and focus specifically on treating Women. Life experiences such as pregnancy, safety in the world, body image, sexual concerns, self-esteem, assertiveness, workplace stress may be easier to open up and speak about with a female counselor.

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.

In the words of feminist icon Betty Friedan, “Who knows what women can be when they are finally free to become themselves?” It is one of my greatest passions and honors to support other women in the process of unshackling themselves from the internalized patriarchy, sloughing off the illusions of “not good enough”, “too much”, and “good girls don’t . . . “ to liberate the authentic expression of the wise woman within.

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.

Women are the backbone of their immediate and extended families. Juggling work, household responsibilities, raising children, and being the taxi driver to events while trying to maintain relationships in and outside the home is sometimes complex and burdensome. Let's discuss empowerment, self-love, self-compassion, self-worth, and self-esteem!

Our staff has extensive experience supporting women with transition. This includes but is not limited to pre-marital counseling, pregnancy support, miscarriage and child loss grief, infertility, menopause, divorce support, and college transition support.

I have experience working with women in a variety of issues including self-esteem, body image issues, relationship issues, burn-out, stress and more.

In my training and research, I focused on the experiences of women, specifically Latina/x women.

I have worked extensively with women throughout my career.

Working with women is one of my passion areas, particularly helping women navigate the difficulties they face because of living in a patriarchal society.

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.

I have the privilege of holding a safe and comfortable space for young adult and adult women who identify as a “yes” person but are at a breaking point. They sign up for “all the things”, enroll in every activity, and often support others more than take care of themselves. My clients are often navigating major life transitions, such as college, marriage/relationships, or work/career changes. I help women set boundaries, confidently communicate their needs, feel confident!

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating PMDD, perimenopause, and menopause. As a member of The Menopause Society, I bring both professional knowledge and personal experience to my work with clients facing these challenges. I’ve helped many individuals manage the emotional and psychological impacts of these transitions, offering compassionate care and support tailored to each person’s unique experience.
