Women's Issues

My expertise in women’s issues includes addressing relational dynamics, self-esteem, and life transitions unique to women. I provide a safe and understanding space for exploring these concerns, helping clients find clarity and empowerment in their lives.

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.

I specialize in women's issues with a focus on building self-compassion, self-love, and resiliency. As women, we yearn for connection and a place to be ourselves. Together we can explore who you truly are. Additionally, I work with women entrepreneurs. You may find yourself linking your “successes” or “failures” to your worth. Navigating the pitfalls of business and keeping motivation is hard to do alone. Together, we can tend to your mental health while you tend to your business.

I use holistic approaches to develop gender-responsive treatment strategies for PTSD and depression, focusing on the unique challenges individuals face at different life stages. These strategies address issues like pregnancy, menopause, menstrual cycles, fertility struggles, and grief. Additionally, I explore how body image, gender identity, and sexuality intersect with these experiences, emphasizing the importance of neurodiversity.

Who run the world (girls)! Societal expectations. Family demands. Glass ceilings. Whoa. No wonder you're stressed! Anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship challenges, discrimination, hormonal changes, and low self-esteem are just a few of the issues women are commonly facing. Let's face that stuff head-on together! We'll work together to help you gain new insight, self-awareness, coping skills, communication skills, and emotion regulation skills to get you feeling in control.

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

I help women (cis, trans, gender-fluid) reclaim what brings them alive in a world that often asks them to shrink. Together, we make space for your truth, your longing, and your complexity—beneath roles, expectations, and systems that have shaped you. I support you in softening self-doubt, honoring your needs, and coming home to the parts of you that are ready to be known, felt, and fully lived.

Leveraging my dual perspective as a clinical therapist and a woman, I offer empathetic support to clients facing women's issues, informed by extensive training in multicultural challenges affecting women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ communities. My approach blends professional expertise with personal understanding, creating a nuanced, supportive environment for navigating complex issues and fostering empowerment and growth.

Many people who were socialized as female growing up have a ingrained set of rules about how a women “should or should not” be, look, act, laugh, drink, dress, have sex, parent, cook, etc. These differ from culture to culture, but restrict many women/femmes from living life as their most authentic selves. I work with women/femmes to tune out of expectations from families, society, even partners, and tune into what their body wants and needs, and what their heart desires to share with the world.

As a therapist working with women’s issues, I support clients navigating a wide range of emotional, relational, and identity challenges. Many women carry the weight of societal expectations, past traumas, and internalized shame, especially around topics like body image, sexuality, and self-worth. My work focuses on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where women can reconnect with their voice, set boundaries, and heal from patterns that no longer serve them.

Examine facets of your potential

Women experience issues with infertility, feeling drained and unseen in the world and that is where I come in. Together we can work to take ownership of your place in the world. Each of us are valuable and we deserve to be seen and heard; we deserve to take up space. My hope is to help create that space for women where they can feel safe and beautiful.

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

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.

I have a long history working with women in a variety of settings, and understand, both implicitly and explicitly, the various issues we face. I have training in doula work, have volunteered with Planned Parenthood, and understand the industrial birthing complex. I am familiar with sexual assault and sex work, and I am knowledgable in hormonal, antenatal, perinatal, & menopausal changes. I am currently working towards a Women’s Mental Health Specialist certification.

As a woman and first time mom I feel passionate about working with women across the lifespan, on issues related to identity, intimacy, sexuality, self-esteem, trauma (incl. childhood abuse, intergenerational inheritances and experiences of oppression), spirituality, community, transition to motherhood, parenting, etc. Through accompaniment, compassion, support, somatic skills, evidence-backed methods, holistic healing and referrals, we will help you access the experience YOU need to feel whole.

Women carry a heavy burden in relationships, often holding their own 'stuff' (pain, trauma, shame, fears, hopes, dreams) and also carrying that of those in their circles. It's a unique experience, and there is nothing more sacred than allowing space for fellow women to give voice to their experience in ways that are new and empowering.
