Women’s Issues: Navigating the Systemic & the Self
Reclaiming Agency in a High-Demand World
Being a woman in today’s world often feels like an endless exercise in "managed overwhelm." Between the biological transitions of our bodies and the social constructs that demand we be the primary emotional caretakers, peacekeepers, and high-achievers, many women find themselves in a state of chronic burnout. In my practice, I provide a courageous and curious space to untangle your authentic self from the "shoulds" imposed by society, family, and tradition.
The Architecture of the "Woman’s Burden"
We don’t just look at your internal thoughts; we look at the "system" you are operating within. We work together to address:
The Emotional Labor Deficit: Navigating the exhaustion that comes from being the "Chief Emotional Officer" of your family or workplace, leading to a profound sense of shut down.
Identity & Role Transitions: Supporting you through the "big shifts"—motherhood, the empty nest, career pivots, or menopause—where the old map of your life no longer fits the new terrain.
Internalized Perfectionism: Deconstructing the "inner critic" that demands flawlessness, often fueled by social constructs of power and equity.
A Multidimensional Clinical Path
With over 20 years of experience and a PhD in Child and Family Studies, I integrate specialized tools to help you reclaim your vitality:
Attachment & Mutuality: We explore your relationships through the lens of Systems Theory, identifying where a lack of mutuality is draining your "social battery" and triggering rejection sensitivity.
EMDR for Gendered Trauma: We use EMDR to process the "stuck" memories of systemic or personal harm—from workplace bullying to reproductive trauma—that keep your nervous system on high alert.
Spiritual Deconstruction: For women in high-control or traditional spiritual systems, I use my Master of Divinity to help you navigate the disillusionment and trauma that often arise when your identity clashes with institutional "rules."
Holding Space for the "Woman as Healer"
I have a "special love" for working with female therapists, pastors, and leaders. When you are the one holding the world together, who holds you? I provide a confidential, peer-level sanctuary where you can drop the "expert" mask and be a human who is cared for.

Dorothy Brown
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have been a feminist since I was born, or at least since college. I have worked with women regarding discrimination. While women are clearly the stronger sex, able to be in touch with their intuition and able to bring the magic to life, they are often undervalued. I work with women to see their strengths, their innate wisdom and regain their power.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
I feel it is different speaking to a male therapist about women's issues, specifically in that you then have to explain yourself more deeply. I cannot simply say "yes, I get it." By sharing the female experience aloud, it forces us to examine the difficulties and complexities from a different lens. I can offer more traditionally "masculine" viewpoints that can shift the way you approach or think about certain problems. So many women struggle with relationships with men in their life (Fathers, partners), that having a different type of open and supportive conversation with a man can be transformative. And, when there is distress in those relationships, we can role play and practice how the communication could go differently next time.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
My clients have always found me to be relatable due to my transparent and approachable style. I have specialized in women's issues because I'm a passionate advocate and believer in what women can bring to the table. We have long had to fight for so much and as we reveal the layers of society, I think we learn how this has impacted us on a deep level. Even with this work we are still professionals, parents, and caregivers, sometimes all at the same time. See me to talk about these issue and to think about what might work for you to develop a healthy relationship with yourself and the world at large.

Knoxville is home to the University of Tennessee — the state's flagship research university — and serves as the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains and Appalachian outdoor recreation culture, giving it a distinctive blend of college-town energy and Appalachian heritage that shapes its therapy community. The city's growing healthcare sector, anchored by UT Medical Center and Covenant Health, provides institutional mental health resources and supplies clinical training to the local community. Knoxville's working-class Appalachian communities carry distinct cultural attitudes toward help-seeking — including strong value on self-reliance and community support — that therapists must navigate with cultural sensitivity. The University of Tennessee's psychology programs, combined with the city's proximity to Appalachian communities experiencing opioid-related crisis, mean addiction recovery and co-occurring trauma are among the most active areas in Knoxville's local therapy landscape.
