Women's Issues Therapists in Richmond, VA
I work adults age 25+ who are navigating trauma, attachment wounds, identity shifts, and relationship patterns that are no longer working. Many of my clients find they have spent years being the “strong one” for others, often while feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected on the inside. I have extensive experience supporting clients in the perinatal and postpartum period, as well as those who may have tried therapy before and are now ready to slow down, go deeper, and understand not just what they’re feeling, but why—and how to heal it on a body and nervous system level.

I specialize in supporting women through difficult life transitions such as career shifts, relationship changes, health challenges (PCOS, endometriosis, etc), infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and loss. This includes working with moms who are grieving after miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss. Many clients struggle with anxiety, depression, or relational stress during these times. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to process complex emotions, build coping skills, and feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to themselves.

You’re not overreacting—and you’re not imagining it. If you’ve been left questioning your reality, replaying conversations, or wondering why you feel exhausted in relationships that “shouldn’t” be this confusing, you’re not alone. Many of the women I work with are high-functioning, empathetic, and independent—often first-generation—carrying unspoken responsibilities and emotional burdens from the generations before them. The common thread? Patterns of narcissistic or emotionally manipulative relationships, codependency, blurred boundaries, and self-doubt that leave you feeling like you’re “too sensitive” or “crazy.”

I support growth-oriented people (including therapists, healers, and caregivers) who feel anxious, disconnected, or burned out. If you find yourself constantly holding space for others (your clients, family, community, or work) while feeling exhausted underneath it all, you are not alone. On the outside, you may seem grounded and capable, yet internally your nervous system feels like it is always on. Through integrative psychotherapy (blending mindfulness, somatic awareness, and talk therapy), you can reconnect with yourself, harmonize your nervous systems, and move toward greater calm and wellbeing.

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.
