Women's Mental Health Issues
For Women Ready to Reclaim Joy, Boundaries, and Inner Peace
Are you feeling emotionally exhausted or disconnected?
Has a recent event, relationship challenge, or internal struggle left you overwhelmed?
If you answered “yes” to any of the questions below, it might be time to make yourself a priority and
seek professional support:
❓ Common Questions Women Ask Themselves
-
Has a recent experience shifted your mood or energy?
-
Are you still carrying pain from past trauma?
-
Do you struggle with setting boundaries with others?
-
Are you a mom who feels constantly drained and underappreciated?
-
Has your relationship lost its spark, joy, or intimacy?
-
Does social media negatively affect your self-worth?
-
Do you feel lonely—even around friends and family?
-
Does your family have a history of mental health issues?
If these sound familiar, you're not alone—and you don't have to keep pushing through without support.
I offer compassionate, non-judgmental online therapy sessions that fit your life and schedule.
Mental Health in Women: You're Not Imagining It
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, women are nearly twice as likely as men to experience a major depressive episode. Why?
-
Hormonal shifts (including perinatal, postpartum, and menopause changes)
-
Psychosocial pressure and emotional labor
-
Increased likelihood of trauma and abuse (physical, emotional, psychological)
These experiences can manifest as anxiety, depression, low self-worth, and emotional burnout—but therapy offers a safe path forward.
How Self-Esteem Shapes Your Mental Health
Were you ever taught to love yourself as you are?
Many women grow up hearing:
-
“Be prettier.”
-
“Be more ladylike.”
-
“Find a man to take care of you.”
-
“Why can’t you be more like your sister?”
These messages create a critical inner voice that follows us into adulthood.
In therapy, we’ll work together to rebuild your self-esteem—by unlearning these limiting beliefs and replacing them with self-acceptance, confidence, and compassion.
Motherhood: The Joy and the Weight
Motherhood is life-changing—but no one told you it would feel like this.
You may be coping with:
-
Postpartum anxiety or depression
-
Infertility, unplanned pregnancy, or birth trauma
-
Behavioral concerns or developmental worries about your child
-
The sheer emotional overload of parenting
Therapy can be your one hour of peace. A time to pause, breathe, and focus on YOU—not just your role as a mom, but your needs as a woman.
Relationships: Finding (and Leaving)
What’s Right for You
Are you stuck in a toxic or emotionally draining relationship?
Do you keep repeating patterns that lead to heartbreak or resentment?
Maybe your partner brought up divorce—or maybe you did, in a moment of frustration or pain.
In therapy, we explore:
-
Why you feel drawn to unhealthy dynamics
-
What your needs really are in a partnership
-
How to communicate more effectively
-
Whether to heal a relationship—or heal from one
You don’t have to navigate these decisions alone.
Can Therapy Help Me Heal My Trauma?
Yes—but only when you're ready. Therapy isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about empowering you to process pain, feel your emotions, and take ownership of your healing.
I’ll be here to:
-
Listen, without judgment
-
Validate your pain
-
Create a safe, supportive space for emotional growth
-
Help you move toward the life you want
💲 Is Therapy Expensive?
Therapy is an investment in your well-being. If you have health insurance, most plans cover mental health services, including therapy sessions.
