Women's Issues Therapy

Being a woman comes with a unique set of pressures. Therapy can help you stop performing and start living on your own terms.

What This Can Look Like

Women carry a lot — often invisibly. You're managing careers, relationships, families, households, friendships, aging parents, and your own health, all while being told you should do it with grace. You're expected to be strong but not intimidating, emotional but not “too much,” ambitious but not at the expense of anyone else's comfort.

Maybe you've been people-pleasing so long you've lost track of what you actually want. Maybe you're navigating a major life transition — becoming a mother, ending a marriage, starting over — and you feel unmoored. Maybe you're just tired of performing a version of yourself that everyone else is comfortable with.

How I Can Help

I help women untangle the expectations they've been carrying — the ones from family, from culture, from society — and figure out what they actually want their lives to look like.

In therapy, we'll explore the patterns that keep you stuck: the over-functioning, the self-sacrifice, the belief that your worth is tied to how much you do for everyone else. We'll work on boundaries, self-trust, and building a life that feels like yours — not one you've been performing for someone else.

You Might Be a Good Fit If...

You feel like you've lost yourself somewhere along the way

You're constantly putting everyone else's needs before your own

You're going through a major life transition and don't feel like yourself

You struggle to set boundaries without guilt

You feel pressure to 'have it all together' and you're exhausted from the performance

You want to stop living for everyone else and start figuring out what you need

Common Questions

It's a broad term that includes anything related to the unique psychological, social, and cultural pressures women face — identity, body image, motherhood, career, relationships, self-worth, reproductive health, and more.

Not at all. Some of my clients come in during a major transition, and others come because they've realized the way they've been living isn't working anymore. You don't need a crisis to deserve support.
