Women's Issues Therapists in Lenoir, NC
Some people spend so much of their lives caring for others that they forget they deserve support, too. Whether you're a first responder carrying the weight of difficult calls, a woman navigating pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, or menopause, or someone balancing the demands of a high-stress career with your relationships and personal well-being, therapy can be a place where you no longer have to carry it all alone.

I’m the owner and Clinical Director of Riverstone Counseling and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma recovery for both military and civilian clients.

My work centers on helping clients understand how trauma reshapes beliefs, identity, the nervous system, and how those patterns can be rewritten. I’m especially passionate about supporting women through grief, infertility, and complex women’s health journeys.

Life can be hard and overwhelming. Do you need help in processing what you have experienced and in developing the skills to help you move forward in your life? I believe connection plays an important role in the healing process. Connection to self and others can be created through the therapeutic relationship and experiencing someone who listens intently, without judgment, offering a reflection of your unexpressed wants and needs. I enjoy working with people who have an interest in their own personal growth, taking a journey, and trying something new.

Life doesn’t wait for the “right” moment. Many people come to therapy while managing stress, anxiety, life transitions, or loss they didn’t choose, simply trying to find steadier ground. The word bloom resonates with me because it never promises ease. Blooming doesn’t ignore hardship; it recognizes that growth requires roots, dormancy, and invisible work long before change is seen. Healing isn’t about returning to who you were before. It’s about becoming who you are now, with compassion for what you’ve carried and strength for what lies ahead. That philosophy guides my work.

I want you to know that you are NOT alone and healing is possible.
Attending therapy is not easy. No one wakes up excited to talk about their struggles, pain, or trauma, and yet, there’s real courage in choosing to face what’s difficult rather than avoid it. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression or unsolved trauma; you don't have to face it alone. I take time to truly listen to your story, understand your goals, and build a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and empowered.

People are complex and sometimes need help sorting through difficulties. Do you find yourself stuck in a pattern--a relationship malfunction or an unhealthy life-style--which you have tried to change, and cannot? The key to unlocking the process of change is to develop awareness of the underlying meanings behind these patterns, the "the how and why" of the patterns. When you compassionately understand how your implicit beliefs inform your actions and experience, you can help your system heal. All parts of your system need conscious connection with you, It is designed to heal. My role is to facilitate that natural process.

I know the term "eating disorder" can feel scary. In the beginning, clients typically tell me they can't stop thinking about food. They find a large part of their day is dedicated to their next meal. They miss out on time with loved ones because the concern of what they will “be able” to eat is too strong. A lot of my clients find themselves in a dieting spiral. They “do good” for a while, and then they binge later, leading to feelings of shame and guilt. Most have heard confusing things about bodies throughout their lives.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
