Author name: Psychotherapy for Women

There is significant strain that comes from the sacrifice mothers make when returning to work. As a working mother myself, I am walking this road with you and know that it is possible for things to feel lighter.

If you are looking for extra support in navigating a current phase of life and it’s challenges, or you are struggling with chronic health challenges or mental health diagnosis, and everything in between, therapy can help.

Have you ever felt that your senses are being flooded and overwhelmed by noises, lights, or touch? Do these moments feel intense and all consuming? When this happens, does it feel incredibly triggering or hard to manage? If so, you are likely overstimulated.

To stop using avoidance, it’s important to actively take steps to confront and tackle issues head on. Instead of shying away from discomfort, work through it. Talk about your feelings. Open up to others. Have hard conversations.

Deciding whether or not to get divorced is a hard place to be. For many women, they think about leaving for many months and sometimes years before deciding to explore whether or not this is the right decision for them.

I often see depression and feeling sad, down, or lacking enjoyment in day-to-day life, be made worse with unhealthy habits you may not even recognize are contributing to your mental struggles.

Many women and mothers specifically report a constant feeling of overwhelm that they can’t shake or seem to get rid of. If this is you, I see you.

If your significant other’s family is currently driving you nuts, I see you, and you are not alone in this struggle.

Someone hurting your feelings does not give you a free pass to hurt theirs in return. Conflict resolution (if that’s your goal) is only achieved with respect, honesty, and a willingness to work on things.

There is truly nothing like anticipating the arrival of your newborn and those first several weeks of soaking in all the snuggles with your new baby. It can also be an incredibly overwhelming time for women and be a significant trigger for loneliness. If you are pregnant or newly postpartum and feeling lonely, you’re not alone.
