Empowering Women's Mental Health: Dedicated Counseling & Therapy For Women

Life's transitions can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate them alone. As a specialized provider of counseling and therapy for women, we understand the unique challenges that shape the unique experiences that women face. Whether you're dealing with relationship changes, career shifts, other personal hurdles and anxiety, therapy offers a safe space to explore your emotions and discover your strength.

Women and Anxiety

If you are struggling with anxiety, you might be:

  •  Expecting the worst-case scenario 

  • Thinking through all the possible "what if this scenario happens?" and having a play-by-play of how you would respond to each scenario

  • Having a hard time thinking clearly or making decisions

  • Struggling with perfectionism

  • Constantly doubting yourself and the choices you make

  • Irritable over little (and big) things

  • Struggling with panic attacks and absolutely terrified of another happening again

  • Have a hard time being kind to yourself or acknowledging your strengths

Physically, you may have:

  • Feelings of restlessness

  • Fatigue

  • Increased sweat

  • Trouble getting to or staying asleep

  • Difficulty concentrating

  • Muscle tension

  • Increased heart rate

  • Stomach issues

  • Headaches

  • Nightmares

Anxiety can also be tied into low self-worth:

  • Having difficulty setting and maintaining healthy boundaries for yourself

  • Struggling to regulate your emotions

  • Having a hard time asking for help

  • Having a hard time receiving help

  • Believing you aren’t ever “good enough”

The relationship that women and anxiety have is a complex one. With therapy, it is possible to manage your anxiety, recognize unhelpful thought patterns (thoughts are NOT facts, after all), reduce the negative thinking, and create peace for your mind that you deserve.

Depression

If you are struggling with depression, you might be:

  • Feeling like you aren’t enough

  • Losing motivation

  • Feeling like you are a burden on loved ones

  • Losing interest or joy in things you used to love to do

  • Feeling hopeless or worthless

  • Having trouble connecting with your partner or loved ones

  • Having suicidal thoughts or frequent thoughts of death

Physically, you might have:

  • Depressed mood

  • Lack of energy and fatigue

  • Appetite and weight changes

  • Sleep changes (sleeping more or sleeping less) 

  • Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions.       

  • Restlessness, irritability   

  • Persistent physical symptoms

Depression can also have long lasting effects on your self-esteem

You might be struggling with feelings of shame, low self-worth, and a negative relationship with your body.

I will help you learn to stop self-critical thoughts and treat yourself with more kindness and compassion. In turn, you will feel more confident being yourself.

I will also work with you to improve your body image, build confidence with your identity, and improve your relationship with yourself.

Together we can figure out the best way for you to navigate these changes, find your inner strengths, and create peace and balance in your life. Our counselors offer therapy tailored for women and their experiences.

Life Transitions

Life transitions can cause anxiety, even if the life transition itself is mostly a positive one. Some transitions happen without warning and bring about change, uncertainty, and stress.

You might be

  • Changing careers/schools

  • Starting a new job

  • Moving

  • Getting married/begin dating

  • End a relationship or friendship

  • Bringing home a baby

Together we can figure out the best way for you to navigate these changes, find your inner strengths, and create peace and balance in your life.
