Women's Issues Therapists in Galena, OH
We all have moments where we feel lost in our past and like we can't get a grip on our current daily life. It can be extremely challenging to know if your thoughts are 'normal' or if something is 'wrong' with you and even more so when you feel you do not have people in life that you can connect with on a deep level. Feeling like a crispy (burnt out) mama that isn't doing her best? Wanting some connection? I got you. This shit is hard, but I believe it may be worth it for you. I do have additional training in trauma and eating disorders.

You're the person others depend on. Whether you're a teacher, nurse, social worker, caregiver, or simply someone who holds themselves to high standards, you're used to showing up for everyone else. To others, you seem capable and put together. But inside, you're battling self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or a persistent sense of not being good enough. You keep pushing forward because that's what you've always done. You want to help and leave the world a little better than you found it, but it's starting to feel heavy (you can literally feel it in your body). Therapy can be a space where you no longer have to carry it all alone.

Not sure your drinking counts as a problem, but you think about it a lot? You don't have to decide that, or agree to quit, before we talk.

The simple fact that we are all human beings means that we will experience the joy and pain that comes with being alive and living life. Most clients tend to seek a therapist while they are going through a difficult transition that often feels painful and sometimes lonely. As a therapist, I have learned that individuals tend to learn more about themselves, and experience more personal growth during these periods of transitions. Therefore, my favorite role as a therapist is to build a collaborative, supportive relationship with individuals that may be struggling with making decisions or adjusting to changes related to natural life transitions.

Becoming a parent can be simultaneously the most rewarding and most challenging time in your life.

If you’re dealing with loss, navigating a big life change, or just feeling like you’ve lost your footing, you’re not alone and there’s nothing wrong with you. Grief has a way of shaking everything up, making you question who you are and what comes next. Sometimes life gets hard and we lose sight of what we actually want. You are tired of just getting through the day. You are craving something more but not sure where to start. That feeling, that quiet nudge that something needs to change, is actually worth listening to. You already have more inside you than you realize. Sometimes you just need the right space to figure it out.

I completed my Masters in Social work at Cleveland State University and have since gained valuable experience in working with those who face substance use problems and addictions as well as survivors of trauma. I knew from a very young age that helping people was part of who I am. I love walking with people as they explore themselves and gain insight, discover their strengths, and work toward healing. I believe that many of my own experiences in life, both happy and painful, shaped and gave me opportunities to grow and become who I am. I try to build on those experiences as I walk with my clients in their life journeys.

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.
