Women’s Therapy:

Positive treatment requires respect for the rich tapestry of experience that makes a woman who she is, from her health history and cultural heritage to her socioeconomic status, sexual orientation and, in particular, her time of life.

Early Adulthood:
With a girl’s transition to womanhood come emotional stressors like self-image, schooling, the workplace, dealing with relationships and individuating from her parents.

The Childbearing Years:
A host of factors can tax a woman’s ability to cope during these stressful years and challenging times. These commonly include:

• Pregnancy
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Loss
  • Infertility
• Postpartum
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Psychosis
• Parenting
• Marital issues
• Separation/Divorce

The Transition of Menopause:
Redefining roles, re-examining marriage, children moving on, and the powerful physical changes of perimenopause and menopause often trigger emotional conditions. At the same time, many women also feel the special strain of caring for aging parents.

Group Therapy:

In catering specifically to the needs of women, I offer small group experiences on issues related to women’s needs.

Group sessions can provide you with the following benefits:

• Experience a sense of acceptance and belonging.
• Discover that you are not alone in the difficulties you are experiencing.
• Hear ideas from others which enhance your ability to make decisions
  and solve problems.
• Personal accomplishment from the experience of being helpful to others.
• Learn to constructively express your feelings and ideas to others.
• Gain encouragement by observing the successes of others.

Couples Therapy:

First and foremost, the purpose of Couples Therapy is to assist clients in determining the desired course of their relationship. Couples therapy can focus on deepening connection and developing new strategies for reducing conflict. It can involve identifying areas of conflict, examining roles of individuals, and aid clients in implementing new behaviors to foster greater trust and acceptance to achieve a more satisfying relationship.
