Counseling for Women

Being a women myself and specializing in the treatment of women over the years, I have come to know how important it is to understand that we as women have specific needs and issues in the therapy process.

Some of the women specific areas I have worked with and continue to address include: motherhood, menopause, job related difficulties, trauma, self worth, problems in relationships, and using problematic behaviors to manage high emotional distress.

 

 

“When women support each other incredible things happen”

 

For moms, it can be upsetting and frightening to have feelings about motherhood that don’t seem “right.”


I understand that hormone changes, personal and family history, and social support are all vital factors in understanding and alleviating postpartum symptoms.

Common postpartum symptoms include:

  • Feeling overwhelmed and wondering if you should have become a mother in the first place

  • Feeling guilty due to high self-expectations

  • Not feeling “bonded” with the baby

  • Your thoughts are racing and you can’t quiet your mind

  • Feeling empty and numb as if you’re just going through the motions

  • Lack of focus and concentration

  • Being afraid that if you reach out for help, others will judge your inabilities

  • Thoughts of running away or leaving your baby behind

  • Being constantly in a state of worry

If one or more of the above symptoms resonates with you, reach out today for a free consultation.

Together, we’ll find the underlying issues that are causing you to feel disconnected from motherhood, and create a strategy for moving forward.
