Women’s Issues

Counseling support in Orlando, FL for women experiencing stress, overwhelm, and anxiety.

Supporting Women in Finding Balance and Fulfillment

Many women today face the exhausting pressure to do it all — to excel at work, care for their families, and support aging parents, often while putting their own needs last. This constant striving to meet every expectation can lead to burnout, anxiety, and a deep sense of disconnection from oneself.

In therapy, I help women rediscover balance and self-compassion. Together, we’ll explore ways to reduce overwhelm, set healthy boundaries, and make intentional choices that align with your values. The goal is to create a life that feels more peaceful, grounded, and authentically your own.

How can I help?

As a mom of 2 children, married for over 20 years and caring for aging parents, I truly understand your struggle. I have lived it myself! I can provide you with a level of understanding and compassion to help you deal with the heavy load you carry. I can also help you learn to reframe the way you look at things so that you are better able to embrace healthier, more supportive perspectives. A big focus in my practice is equipping my clients with the skills to take good care of themselves. Despite taking such excellent care of others, we often have no clue how to provide ourselves with even a fraction of the TLC we offer so freely to our friends and family. Let me help you learn to apply these caregiving skills to yourself.

Objections

I don’t have time,
I’m too busy taking care of everyone else.

Ever heard the saying “If mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy”? How about this one: “Happy wife, happy life”? These sayings were invented for a reason! You are the heart and center of your family. If you take the time to address your own internal struggles, think of the ripple effect it will have on your family. We so often take our frustrations out on those closest to us, which all too often, means that our families bear the brunt of our discontent. By taking the time to learn to take better care of yourself, you are also modeling the critically important skill of self-care to your children.

There’s nothing that can relieve my level of stress
because I have too much to do.

At the very least, therapy can serve as a pressure valve release….a safe and judgement free place for you to let it all out and get the support you may be lacking in other relationships.

Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken — it’s about remembering what’s whole.

We integrate mindfulness, relational therapy, and trauma-informed techniques to support your unique journey.
