Counseling for Women and Relationships
Women experience many demands in their life, busier than ever, manage multiple roles and responsibilities that lead to overwhelm and stress. Maybe you are consistently thinking that you aren’t good enough or that you have to do more to prove your worth and value. Do you typically care for others really well before take care of yourself, or forget to take care of yourself? Does overwhelm and stress control the many different roles and relationships in your life? Are you struggling with parenthood, trying to build a family, or coping with an issue related to women’s health? Counseling for women and their busy lives and commitments provides the right space for processing and exploration.
Women have more choices to enjoy their life, but women also more demands, commitments and expectations than ever before. We see that women are typically working hard to balance every aspect of their personal, professional and family lives, making self-care and personal wellness almost impossible to achieve, leaving women feeling exhausted.
I believe that my role as your counselor is to provide you with a safe, supportive and collaborative environment, supporting and empowering you to make wanted changes in your life. My approach with counseling for women is integrative, holistic, and tailored to meet your individual needs and goals.
In my practice, I draw on a number of evidence-based modes of therapy. These include mind-body therapies, cognitive behavioral therapy (cbt), acceptance and commitment therapy (act), mindfulness, positive psychology, EMDR, and solution-focused therapy. During sessions, you can expect me to be active and engaged, and to build on your strengths and experience. I will also be unconditionally supportive, encouraging, and non-judgmental as we work together to address your challenges and reach your goals.
Whether you are dealing with a temporary problem or want to engage in longer term work on complex issues, I can help. I hope you will contact me so we can discuss how we can work together. I believe every woman has the potential for satisfaction and fulfillment in life, and I would love to help you on your path to wellness.
Counseling is helpful for treating many areas of your mental health.
Women choose counseling for many different reasons, even to sustain positive mental health. Nearly everyone can benefit from the support of a therapist and a safe space to process feelings and examine challenges. I work with women who are dealing with a wide range of issues, including:
Stress
Anxiety
Depression
Relationship or parenting concerns
Childhood Trauma
Low self-esteem
Negative body image
Parenting Issues
- Family of origin issues
Adjustment to Life Transitions
- Caring for parents AND children
- Combining work and family
- And more…
Your mental health matters.
How would your life change if you felt better? Would you be more connected and present in your relationships, with your children, or have more satisfaction in your marriage? Would you be more confident in your engagement as a parent or in your career? Would you have a better outlook on your future? Counseling for women focuses on the unique challenges that women face on a day to day basis.
Ultimately, now is the time to invest in you and your mental health. You deserve a private space to be authentically you, and focus on the goals that will help you become the best version of you, complete with the coping and calming skills that work for you. As women, it is important that we set aside time for us, so that we can be the best version of ourselves and find more satisfaction in all of the things that matter: our family, our children and our careers.
Having a good self-care plan begins with finding the right counselor to support and empower you as you walk through life’s demands. Over the course of my career, I have dedicated my work to helping women uncover what holds them back, providing guidance to gain the strength, confidence, and clarity needed to enjoy life authentically.. I want to help you to make decisions confidently, to heal emotionally, and to thrive in your life.

When you became a parent, the anxiety of taking care of your child, from the physical needs to the social-emotional needs, increased immensely. You may be wondering how to navigate everything that comes with raising kids. Children do not come with a manual or handbook, and navigating all of the unique situations with your child can be overwhelming! And, each child is different and unique, and learning how to add more children to your family adds to the stress.
