Women's Issues

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

Being a woman in the world is no small task! The gender roles that bind us are spoon-fed to us from birth: smile more, take up less space, eat less, talk less, think less - but care THE MOST. Sometimes it takes awhile to see how those roles we were socialized into play out in our lives. Therapy can be a good place to explore those dynamics and experiment with new ways of being in the world that allow you to have a voice, take back your power, and cultivate self-love.

I specialize in women's issues because women are the backbone of any society. I see all persons who can benefit from my services, however, they must know I utilize a BIPOC feminist lens (I am white) as the center of my practice and methods.

The challenges for women and female-identified people in society, in families, and even with oneself, are multi-layered and complex. I foster a feminist approach to therapy so as to both consider the greater context of being a woman and the very personal and unique experience of being who you are. Women are powerful and brave, sensitive and creative. Women and female-identified people deserve to feel supported in all realms of personal, professional, social, and political life.

Do you worry you are wasting your life with the wrong decisions? Maybe you’ve recently started to question who you are, your relationships, and what you want from life or maybe the fear of “falling behind” your peers plagues you? It may feel impossible now, but you can navigate this with less stress and greater confidence and I can help you get there.

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.

Women's issues are relevant to all individuals, including non-binary and trans individuals, who experience any combination of biological, societal, relational, or occupational challenges based on their gender identity. I work with these individuals on identifying areas of their lives where oppression prevents optimal self-expression and freedom to thrive. Counseling helps my clients become more positive about themselves and their self image, as well as increases self-advocacy and confidence.

It's hard to encapsulate just what this topic entails, but if it impacts you, it matters.

As a feminist, I believe in equal rights for all regardless of gender or identity. I specialize in sexual assault, abortion support, role in relationships, and exploring identity.

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.

Being a woman in America today brings about a unique set of issues, even more so as a new mother. Things like compassion fatigue, burnout, and overall stress and anxiety, just to name a few. To get the most out of therapy one has to able to take into account the bigger systemic issues at play.

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.

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

Women often navigate complex challenges, including self-esteem struggles, life transitions, and the pressures of balancing relationships and personal growth. I provide a supportive space to heal from past trauma, break free from unhealthy relationship patterns, and cultivate self-compassion, resilience, and empowerment.
