Women's Issues

I work with women at all stages in their lives. I have particular training and background with perinatal mental health challenges including infertility, infant loss, new parents, new identities and mom and parenting challenges. I have been working with the Baby Blues Connection organization for over 10 years and work with clients individually, a couples and in groups. I have personal experience in this arena and find this work important and much needed for our communities.

I help individuals navigate anxiety, self-doubt, and life transitions, recognizing how systemic and historical factors shape their experiences. From societal expectations of caregiving to workplace inequities, marginalized genders often face unique pressures. Generations of gender norms, discrimination, and limited access to resources have contributed to patterns of perfectionism, burnout, and self-sacrifice. I process these challenges, set boundaries, and reclaim power.

During my time in the hospital, I witnessed women experiencing a wide variety of challenges from complication due to child birth, miscarriages, female related cancers, complex medical concerns, and mental health issues. I took part in advocating for women in a predominately male dominated hospital system that sometimes wasn't the most empathetic to women related concerns. In my work with women, I hope to provide a professional and personal perspective in helping you heal, understand, and grow.

Rochelle specializes in women's issues, providing a safe, empowering space to navigate societal pressures, identity, relationships, and self-worth. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a feminist therapy lens, she helps clients overcome anxiety, trauma, and self-doubt, fostering resilience, confidence, and personal growth while challenging limiting beliefs and societal expectations.

Courtney is pro-women and a strong-willed feminist. Women experience this world in unique ways and honoring those experiences as not only authentic but truly valid, is vital to our success. Cultural oppression may have painted women as weak but this message is fueled by the fear of women's true power. Self-realization and self-love are the tools women need to escape the confinement of projected ideals of women.

As a woman and first time mom I feel passionate about working with women across the lifespan, on issues related to identity, intimacy, sexuality, self-esteem, trauma (incl. childhood abuse, intergenerational inheritances and experiences of oppression), spirituality, community, transition to motherhood, parenting, etc. Through accompaniment, compassion, support, somatic skills, evidence-backed methods, holistic healing and referrals, we will help you access the experience YOU need to feel whole.

I employ a feminist approach to empower clients to explore the profound influence of patriarchy on their lives. Through a collaborative therapeutic process, I assist clients in gaining insights into societal expectations, fostering self-awareness, and building confidence. My goal is to support women in breaking free from oppressive norms and cultivating a sense of agency in their personal and social spheres.

I am particularly passionate about supporting women in remember, rejuvenating and reclaiming their inherent power and wisdom.

Women's mental health often presents differently than men’s—whether for cisgender or trans women—and yet, it has been largely overlooked. In my work, I approach women’s mental health with an understanding of how social and systemic factors shape our experiences, offering a critical lens on the unique challenges we face. I also bring extensive knowledge of the biological influences on women’s mental health, all while holding space for the complexities of each individual’s journey.

I remain deeply mindful of how our culture and society shape women's experiences, placing this awareness front and center in our sessions. Through the transformative tools of self-compassion, processing, and empowerment, I assist women in navigating and challenging oppression, whether it manifests on a personal or systemic level. As a client, you will increase resilience, allowing space to advocate for change in meaningful ways.

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating PMDD, perimenopause, and menopause. As a member of The Menopause Society, I bring both professional knowledge and personal experience to my work with clients facing these challenges. I’ve helped many individuals manage the emotional and psychological impacts of these transitions, offering compassionate care and support tailored to each person’s unique experience.

I help support women in working through the issues that are most important and unique to them such as overcoming limiting beliefs, building confidence, and boundary/relationship issues. I have been working primarily with women, including female entrepreneurs, for the past 15 years.

Reproductive health issues can feel incredibly isolating. We can get stuck in the unhelpful comparisons to others, feel trapped in the stigma that comes from societal expectations, and may want to scream at how many years it can take to diagnose or understand complex reproductive health conditions. I hope to provide a nonjudgmental space to sort through and make meaning of these experiences, as well as to provide tools to help you advocate to your care team and communicate needs to loved ones.

I love working with those who identify as women on various issues including: deciding to have children or being child-free, assertiveness skills in the workplace or in relationships, processing systemic racism, family of origin concerns, and more.

I practice through a feminist and social justice lens. I believe our various identities shape our experience in our relationships and in our world.

As a feminist, I believe in equal rights for all regardless of gender or identity. I specialize in sexual assault, abortion support, role in relationships, and exploring identity.

If you have a uterus, you know how much it can affect your day to day life. From my experiences of endometriosis and ovarian cysts, I know about chronic pain and the mental health effects of the menstrual cycle. As if internal physical concerns weren't enough, being socialized as a girl teaches you to put others needs (and wants!) before your own, have permeable boundaries, or that you can rest when all the work is done. Let's unpack this and take down the patriarchy!

Women’s issues include concerns affecting emotional and mental well-being at different life stages, such as relationship challenges, career demands, reproductive health, body image, self-esteem, and significant transitions. Societal and cultural pressures also play a role. I offer a compassionate, holistic approach, providing a safe space to explore these complexities. I will support you in managing these challenges and fostering personal growth for a balanced, fulfilling life.

I have 20+ years of working with adult woman across the age spectrum and of diverse representations and experiences.
