As women, we face many challenges throughout our lives.
You don't have to go it alone.
Therapy can help.
I am here to help women with our unique life experiences.
Some of our struggles include:
Social pressure beginning at an early age, for girls to look a certain way. Many begin dieting as teens, thinking that if we were thinner, we would be happier.
Often, battling our weight and hating our bodies is a lifelong issue.
Having children can include infertility, pregnancy loss, and postpartum depression and anxiety.
Motherhood changes our bodies and identities, and consumes us while children are growing up. Many try to balance this with careers, often with exhaustion.
Midlife brings more transitions: empty nest, menopause. Some go through divorce, which may feel like starting life all over again.
As our parents age, daughters and daughters-in-law are usually the ones to manage their needs. Many women also nurse their husbands through long illnesses.
We care for everyone but ourselves… all while our culture tells us that our faces and bodies should not change as we get older.
This is quite a list of challenges!
But it doesn't have to be a sad story.
Imagine having someone who...
...understands you like no one else.
...makes sense of your world.
...gives you hope.
I have some goals for you.
I don't just want you to feel better.
I want you to know your own strength.
I want you to meet your own needs without guilt.
I want you to decide for yourself how you want to live.
I've been a psychologist helping women for over 25 years.
Want to talk about whether I might be the right person for you?
And if we can laugh along the way, even better.
