Women's Issues

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.

Reproductive health issues can feel incredibly isolating. We can get stuck in the unhelpful comparisons to others, feel trapped in the stigma that comes from societal expectations, and may want to scream at how many years it can take to diagnose or understand complex reproductive health conditions. I hope to provide a nonjudgmental space to sort through and make meaning of these experiences, as well as to provide tools to help you advocate to your care team and communicate needs to loved ones.

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.

I work with woman & teen girls in a variety of issues. Such as Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Self-esteem issues, Parenting, Teen dating abuse, Body Image issues, and Intergenerational truama. I enjoy working with woman & teenage girls. It's becoming increasingly difficult for woman & teens to feel like they fit in, to not feel marginalized, isolated, or rejected from their peers and society. I encourage and teach woman/teens to accept themselves, stay true to who they are.

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.

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!

I was raised as a feminist by a feminist; my first social justice action (at age 14) was a march and rally with my mother and many of her college classmates, organized to call attention to the need for better lighting in the student parking deck after two female students were assaulted there within a month. In my clinical work, I have helped many female clients to overcome codependency, increase self-esteem, work through past rape trauma, and escape abusive relationships.

I primarily work with women-identified adults who have experienced trauma. I use holistic, somatic methods to help women: - validate and express emotions including anger - cultivate inner strength, intuition, trust and creativity - connect to sensual pleasure and empowered sexuality - develop more satisfying relationships on your own terms - navigate patriarchy and gender oppression I especially love working with queer/bi women seeking to explore their sexuality and gender expression.

I have worked extensively with women throughout my career.

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.

Here in the South, there is a level of sexism in the very air we breathe, the way we were coached to behave, and in the way others were trained to view us. It can be a lot to navigate what it means to be a woman - in your family, in the workplace, in a relationship, as a parent, as a partner, in social circles. If things just feel really hard and you can't put your finger on why, we can explore that! There are lots of ways to take charge of yourself more effectively.

Moving through this world as a feminine person brings its unique challenges and gifts. Many of us feel cut off from our instincts and intuition, the brave, fierce, and discerning sides of ourselves, and the empathic, deep-feeling, and nurturing. In therapy I work to help you process, heal from, and find your own sense of meaning within the varied experiences that many women experience across the lifespan.

With expertise in women's issues, I provide tailored support, empowering women to navigate life's challenges, from mental health to learning how to own their voices and narratives, and minimize shame and doubt.

My main focus is on women's mental health and the unique experience of being a female identifying person; I have a special interest and focus on perinatal mental health.

Most of my clientele are women. As a woman, I can relate to issues that are gender specific.
