Women's Issues

Years of personal experience in Women's groups, Integrative Counseling training to support each woman's unique concerns. Developing a curriculum for a Women's group to also be used in individual treatment.

My passion for helping women comes from years of experience working with women in both medical and mental health settings. Navigating through life’s challenges during the many biological and psychosocial changes in a woman’s life can be difficult to manage. These issues can include but are not limited to Infertility, Postpartum, Miscarriage, Menopause, Medical Diagnosis, Divorce, Adult Dating, Abuse, Single Parenting , Parenting Adult Children, Loss of a Spouse, Body Image, and Career Changes.

As someone who pursued a counseling degree later in life, I offer a unique lens of lived experience as a parent of grown children. I enjoy supporting women across the lifespan through developmental transitions including the emotional/physical changes that can accompany late adolescence, college, pregnancy/perinatal, motherhood/parenting and/or concerns related to menopause and aging.

Becoming a mother was a transformational process that opened a window into a world of oppression I had not known. The impossible expectations of mothers in this culture creates significant distress that is often pathologized. I help women reclaim their voice and meet themselves again.

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.

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.

It's completely understandable to feel exhausted after a lifetime of trying to achieve unrealistic expectations, but that doesn’t have to keep you from taking steps towards the fulfilling life you desire. Pour some energy into yourself again. Reclaim your clarity and confidence. I help high achieving women find relief from stress, burnout, anxiety, and deep emotional pain. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

I have worked extensively with women throughout my career.

As an existential therapist, I love working with people around creating more meaning and fulfillment in their lives. We’ll address any and all of the “big life” questions that you’re wrestling with, and we’ll explore what an authentic path forward looks like for you. My hope is for you to feel more empowered, confident, and in control of your life.

Women’s issues include concerns affecting emotional and mental well-being at different life stages, such as relationship challenges, career demands, reproductive health, body image, self-esteem, and significant transitions. Societal and cultural pressures also play a role. I offer a compassionate, holistic approach, providing a safe space to explore these complexities. I will support you in managing these challenges and fostering personal growth for a balanced, fulfilling life.

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.

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! Call today so we can determine if AROSE eTherapy is right for you! Relief is a call away

Let's call this "Pelvic Issues" instead -- not just for "women." I collaborate with gynecologists and pelvic floor physical therapists to ensure the whole person receives treatment. When you're dealing with specific medical or psychological challenges related to your vulva, pelvic area, or reproductive parts I'm well-versed in combining the medical and physical with the psychological and emotional. It's all interconnected and you need a therapist who understands and can help you navigate that.

I'm passionate about helping women and girls find their voice, lean in, and find fulfillment through assertiveness training, trauma-informed care, and providing a safe and compassionate place to heal and grow.

Many women are walking around with #metoo traumas, issues with inequality in marriage and at work, and a plethora of other issues related to having a female body. Women also sometimes struggle with motherhood, having had abortions, family issues, and a host of other troubles that need sorting out. I am a feminist therapist, and I enjoy helping my female clients make sense of their experiences using a feminist lens.

Are you exhausted? Feel like you’re doing everything and going nowhere? More than 1 in 5 women experience a mental health disorder in their lifetime. The difference between normal stress and mood dysregulation and a mental health disorder is characterized as “clinically significant distress” but we so often minimize our own distress that we believe we simply aren’t coping well or that we’re just a mess. I'm here to be a safe space for you to heal.

I love working with teen girls and adult women navigating complex health issues, chronic illness, chronic pain, infertility and birth trauma. Learn third wave trauma informed CBT tools like DBT, ACT and somatic exercises to navigate overwhelming emotions, feelings and life events.

My approach is built on a foundation of feminist, anti-oppression values. I believe therapy is ineffective if the greater social context a person lives in is not examined critically; most of the time, doing so is empowering for all genders.
