Therapy for Women
Are You Suffering From Stress, Anxiety, And Feeling Overwhelmed?
As a woman, you probably juggle a wide range of responsibilities and stressors every day. Despite the fact that you’re smart, successful, and strong, it’s overwhelming to do it all—especially when you feel pressured to be resilient and keep everything together. You have a lot on your plate; it can all become too much.
I get it: to others, your life looks great. But they have no idea you are suffering. The need to keep up the façade that everything is okay is wearing you down. Something huge is missing from your life. You have been so busy tending to the needs of others for so long—and making things look effortless in the process—that you don’t know how to fix what is really wrong. You may be frustrated with your partner or lack of dating prospects, and you’d feel better knowing that you are on track toward the right relationship.
When you experience high levels of stress, you might blame yourself or feel inadequate. It may be hard to see which expectations are unrealistic or unmanageable. The result is often a sense of self-doubt and insecurity that you aren’t enough. This feeling can introduce anxiety, sadness, and loneliness into your life. And, eventually, life feels so hard as you become increasingly dissatisfied with your accomplishments, your relationships, and yourself.
Fortunately, therapy for women offers you a chance to make lasting changes in your life. As a therapist who specializes in women’s issues, I will approach your challenges with a compassionate ear and an eye toward a solution. Working together, you will gain new skills and insights that can help you create the life you want.
Many Women Are Conditioned To Mask Their True Emotions
You present so well. But your life is missing something important.
I have 20 years of experience supporting clients in therapy, and I’ve seen the effect that extreme pressures and high expectations put on women—often from a very young age. Like many of my clients, you may have grown up in a challenging family environment, whether dysfunctional relationships were modeled to you, or you were relied upon by your parents to be the strong, capable daughter. Maybe you were never given permission to break down, set boundaries, or feel supported in your emotions. As a result, you were cheated out of loving, mutually supportive relationships because you were never given blueprints for healthy, positive attachment.
At the same time, you have grown up in a society where “feeling good about yourself” is a requirement. It’s possible the comparison culture of social media has stirred deep insecurities and made you question your self-worth even more. The misconception that being “perfect” is the ideal and possible to achieve has probably made you question why, no matter how hard you try, you can’t find happiness.
You’re not alone in your struggles. Healthy emotional, communication, and boundary-setting skills are hard to learn in isolation; we all need guidance in these areas. The counseling process is designed to be empathic, personalized, and productive as you obtain new skills for managing the stressors women face.
My Therapy Practice Provides Online Counseling To Women Looking For Lasting Relief And Real Change
It can be extremely liberating to finally put words to the fears and concerns you’ve been holding inside for so long. My goal in therapy is to help you explore your emotions as you learn actionable steps for moving toward the life that you want.
Therapy can be beneficial for women who don’t feel as secure or confident as they would like—women who are in emotional pain and looking for effective, meaningful support. Whether you’re stressed, anxious, depressed, or struggling with dating or your relationship, counseling can lay the groundwork for positive growth..
What To Expect
The therapy process is oriented around your unique needs and goals. We will begin exploring where your sense of dissatisfaction comes from and what we can do to change it. Through this process, we are likely to discuss your upbringing, past relationships, and distressing or traumatic experiences that negatively impacted the way you approach life.
Yet, the most important aspect of therapy will be addressing how you feel right now and the changes that are important to you. I will focus on your objectives and desires for the future, identifying what is causing pain or doubt in the present. Then, we will collaborate on a smart, concrete plan for how to become unstuck and move forward with confidence. I will give you practical tools for managing stress, improving your relationships, and implementing the changes you want.
My Approach
Though I am honest and direct, I take a compassionate approach with clients in therapy. My aim is to help you feel seen, understood, and capable of true progress. You will be able to see your challenges in new, insightful ways, fostering a sense of perspective that can truly facilitate healing.
The women I work with in counseling know that I genuinely care for them, and they look forward to therapy knowing that they will leave our appointments feeling lighter, stronger, and clear about how to take the next step.
Some of the counseling benefits my clients have reported are:
Changing old behavior patterns and making better choices
Becoming unstuck from unhealthy cycles
Alleviating stress and worry
Creating a stronger work-life balance
Increased feelings of joy, fulfillment, and hope
Greater self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-empowerment
Achieving successful, healthy relationships
