Do you feel like you have to keep it all together but deep down, something feels off? Maybe you’re carrying the weight of trauma, whether it’s from your family, your personal experiences, or even passed down through generations. You might find yourself stuck in patterns of self-sabotage or emotional overwhelm, unable to fully express who you really are. Your goal is to heal those wounds, let go of what’s holding you back, and finally show up as your authentic self. You want to live a life that feels whole, connected, and true to you.

Life can be full of ups and downs. Sometimes the challenges we face can shake us and begin to disrupt our current day to day connections with others. Unconscious thoughts, childhood experiences, and daily interactions can impact thought processes influencing the way we view ourselves. Struggling to cope with these challenges can begin to create a negative sense of self. You begin to no longer see your true self worth. I practice utilizing a holistic, integrative approach, as I focus on the importance of helping individuals gain insight into the origins and meaning of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

From overwhelmed to Empowered! We often find ourselves stretched thin, trying to meet the needs of others while also searching for our own sense of peace and balance. Despite our efforts, we end up feeling drained, anxious, or disconnected. The weight of these demands, combined with feelings of sadness, frustration, or loneliness can feel suffocating. I understand what you’re going through. Achieving peace of mind, setting boundaries and finding rest often feels out of reach. Together, we’ll explore the root causes of your challenges and develop practical strategies for a more balanced, fulfilling life aligned with your true needs.

Women's Issues Therapists

How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?

Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?

As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?

Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
