Therapy for Women

Are you the one who always holds it all together—but secretly feels like you're falling apart?

Many of the women I work with are highly responsible, dependable, and caring—juggling careers, family, and countless expectations. They show up for everyone else, but often struggle to show themselves the same care. Underneath the surface, there may be stress that never seems to turn off, worries that creep in at night, or a persistent feeling that they’re not doing enough—no matter how much they give.

Sometimes this comes from a chaotic or emotionally neglectful upbringing. Even after building a life that looks different from the past, the emotional residue can linger—leading to anxiety, self-doubt, difficulty resting, or feeling disconnected from joy.

You might find yourself thinking:

  • “Why can’t I just relax?”

  • “Other people have it worse.”

  • “I should be able to handle this.”

But you don’t have to keep carrying this alone.

I offer a collaborative, strength-based approach to therapy where your story is heard without judgment. Using EMDR, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, we’ll explore the root of your anxiety and begin to untangle the old patterns that no longer serve you. Our work together creates a space where you can reclaim calm, trust yourself again, and soften the inner pressure to be perfect.

You deserve rest. You deserve peace. And you don’t have to earn them by being everything to everyone.

Let’s begin your healing journey—together.
