My dear sister, your life hasn't been easy... You aren’t functioning at your best, or feeling like yourself. You don't feel quite like your old self, but also not like the woman you want to be. You feel guilty for not being better, but simultaneously you feel straight-up exhausted! You’ve spent your life trying to be perfect at the expense of your own happiness. You’ve put yourself last for so long, that it feels selfish to think about what you need.
You are seeking to live authentically, to create real connections with others, and to feel in control of your body and your life. You are looking for a sounding board where your thoughts and emotions can surface and be explored without judgment. You are looking for a place to untangle your thoughts, emotions, memories, and aspirations, and create a positive meaning from it all.
I Will Help You:
Clearly set and maintain boundaries in a way that is kind to yourself and others.
Confidently ask for what you want, and declare what you need — without feeling guilty.
Develop a strong, positive sense of self that is balanced and well-rounded.
Renovate your relationship with your body.
Connect with other women who empower and nourish you.
Identify thoughts and scenarios that invite challenges in.
Gain clarity on what’s keeping you stuck, so you can make choices that are right for you.
Connect with your intuition, and learn to listen to it.
Learn practical skills to take back control of your life!

Like many women, you may be struggling with negative thoughts and difficult emotions about your body and self-worth. There issues typically surface at times of stress or transitional periods such as puberty, getting marries, menopause, and illnesses. Your struggles with body image and self-worth are not your fault. You learned and internalized messages about what your body should look like from society and those around you. With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), and other evidence-based approaches I can help you critically examine and shift your thoughts and beliefs about your body and worth.

Dr. Lynn E. O'Connor
Therapist, PhD
There is no way to ignore and live untouched by the system of male supremacy, despite the progress we've made over the past decades. I help women begin to understand how the many problems and challenges they've faced, believing them to be personal and psychological, have been fundamentally political ramifications of the male supremacist system we all endure. As a feminist prosocial psychologist, I support women raise their consciousness of the effects of the broader system and help them develop the strength and confidence they need to pursue the life they've wanted.
