Women dealing with life transitions such as motherhood, marriage, divorce, empty-nest syndrome, aging parents, and issues with teens can come to me knowing they will be heard and validated. Women experience more pressure to perform in every area of life and need support. Did you know more than 50% of women experience "Mother Hunger?"
If you grew up with a less-than-nurturing mother, I can help you understand the difficulties you face in your adult life. I can help you find balance and inner peace so you can become the woman you want to be. I can assist you in finding "you" again.
I love working with women! We have so many expectations both self inflicted and from others, we can easily lose our self identity and self worth. Are you struggling to connect and find peace in your relationships, or feeling anxious and overwhelmed, let's talk about it?!
Society impacts how women think and feel about themselves and their relationships of all kinds. Counseling with a licensed mental health professional can open up your life to feeling heard and appreciated, as well as generating ideas for creating the life you want to live.
I enjoy working with women and find that we struggle with many of the expectations society and social media places on us. Just to name a few: weight management, aging, beauty, career, motherhood, marriage, and many other areas. The list is long. Women have experienced trauma at higher rates than men. Research tells us that 1 in 4 women have been sexually abused. That's just based on reported cases. I work with women's issues using Expressive Arts Therapy and talk therapy. Expressive Arts will give the opportunity to express yourself without words. I have found it moves therapy to the core of the issue faster. Using expressive arts is encouraged but never forced. I work at client's comfort level.
