Identity & Empowerment
Therapy for Women’s Issues
Women navigate a complex intersection of societal expectations, professional pressures, and deeply personal life transitions. From the "mental load" of household management to the structural challenges of gender inequality and ageism, these systemic factors often manifest as chronic anxiety, burnout, or a sense of fragmented identity.
I provide a grounded, clinical space to explore these realities. Drawing inspiration from the legacies of resilience established by figures such as Simone de Beauvoir and Margaret Atwood, our work focuses on deconstructing these external pressures to reclaim a sense of authentic agency and self-compassion.
Navigating the Psychological Landscape
The female experience involves unique psychological stressors that require a nuanced approach. We address the internalized standards that often lead to a cycle of performance and exhaustion.
- Perfectionism & Guilt: Deconstructing the "doing it all" narrative to reduce self-criticism and cultivate internal validation.
- Anxiety & Depressive States: Addressing the statistical prevalence of panic and mood disorders through evidence-based regulation strategies.
- Body Image & Self-Worth: Healing the relationship with the self in a culture that commodifies female appearance.
"Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are."
Relational & Generational Healing
Whether processing the impact of past trauma, navigating the seismic shift into motherhood, or managing the complexities of divorce and "sandwich generation" caretaking, therapy provides the emotional scaffolding necessary for these transitions.
By examining relational dynamics and attachment patterns, we work to strengthen your boundaries and communication. The goal is to move beyond merely "coping" with life's demands and toward a state of integration, confidence, and psychological strength.
