Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Women’s experiences are shaped not only by individual psychology, but also by the roles, expectations, relationships, and institutions surrounding them. Across the lifespan, women may contend with appearance as social currency, pressure to remain agreeable, unequal emotional labor, sexual safety, reproductive choices, motherhood, infertility, betrayal, caregiving, hormonal changes, aging, and the expectation to hold everything together without appearing affected.
Women have also historically had pain, fatigue, hormonal symptoms, and medical concerns minimized, psychologized, or dismissed as emotional instability, a legacy extending from the language of “hysteria” into present-day experiences of delayed diagnosis and inadequate care. Naming these realities does not require blaming or diminishing men; it requires recognizing the conditions that shape women’s relationships with their bodies, needs, anger, ambition, and authority.
Therapy creates room for the conversations women often edit, minimize, or carry privately. The work is neither about rejecting every role nor submitting to roles that require self-abandonment. It is about separating personal distress from what has been socially reinforced, rebuilding trust in one’s perceptions, and deciding how to live with greater agency without losing connection to the people and commitments that genuinely matter.

Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
I work with women navigating identity, relationships, motherhood, divorce, life transitions, boundaries, and the tension between caring for others and remaining connected to themselves. Drawing from depth psychology and a relational perspective, therapy can become a place to understand inherited patterns and expectations while developing a more authentic relationship with your own needs, desires, and inner life.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When You’re Carrying Too Much
As women, we often move through life balancing everything — work, relationships, caregiving, identity, and the invisible pressure to handle it all with grace. You may be outwardly capable and composed while inside you feel depleted, resentful, or unsure who you are beneath all the roles you play. Maybe you’re constantly taking care of everyone else, striving to meet impossible standards, or feeling guilt no matter what you do. Perhaps you’ve lost touch with your sense of joy, rest, or voice — the parts of you that feel most alive.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you reconnect with yourself and create a life that feels grounded, balanced, and authentic. You’ll learn how to:
Identify and challenge beliefs that keep you stuck in guilt or perfectionism
Strengthen your boundaries and rediscover your own needs and values
Reduce anxiety and overwhelm through neuroscience-based tools
Rebuild confidence and self-trust in relationships and decision-making
Experience calm, freedom, and clarity in place of pressure and self-doubt
This work is not about “fixing” you — it’s about helping you feel at home in your own life, with space for both ambition and rest, care and boundaries, strength and softness.
I BELIEVE:
You can be nurturing without losing yourself.
You don’t have to earn rest or worthiness — they’re already yours.
Setting boundaries is an act of love, not rejection.
Growth doesn’t mean becoming someone else; it means coming home to yourself.
Women heal best in spaces that honor their complexity, courage, and truth.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Women often carry multiple roles, responsibilities, and expectations while quietly struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, body image, caregiving stress, or major life transitions. Cultural and family expectations may make it difficult to express personal needs, establish boundaries, or prioritize emotional well-being.
I provide a compassionate, empowering space where women can explore their experiences without judgment, reconnect with their authentic voices, and strengthen their sense of self. Together, we work toward healing emotional wounds, developing healthier relationships, establishing meaningful boundaries, and creating a life guided by confidence, self-respect, and personal choice.
