Counseling for Women
Women’s Counseling in Oregon
Therapy for Women Who Carry Too Much
As a woman, you’ve likely been expected to hold everything together—your household, your relationships, your emotions, your pain.
You’re capable. Competent. People count on you.
But inside, you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or quietly unraveling.
Maybe you’re carrying:
The weight of invisible labor and emotional caregiving
The legacy of family dysfunction, abandonment, or unmet needs
The grief of what you’ve had to give up just to keep going
The tension of trying to be everything to everyone while ignoring yourself
You’ve been conditioned to stay small, to self-sacrifice, to “keep it together.”
But you’re starting to ask: What about me?
I work with women who are emotionally overextended, silently grieving, and deeply ready for change.
Together, we’ll explore:
Complex trauma and childhood wounds
Boundaries and codependency
Burnout and emotional exhaustion
Relationship patterns and attachment wounds
Grief, identity shifts, and caregiving fatigue
Religious or cultural messaging around gender and worth
I help women untangle internalized beliefs and unprocessed pain that keep them stuck in cycles of struggle. I hold space for the parts of you that never had room to breathe, and help you come back to your own wisdom.
Using trauma-informed methods like EMDR, Expressive Arts Therapy, somatic awareness, and relational depth, therapy becomes a place to:
Set down what you’ve been carrying
Reconnect with your needs and boundaries
Heal from the pressure to perform, perfect, or please
Practice taking up space in your own life, your own body, and your own voice
This Is Not About Becoming a “Better” Woman. It’s About Becoming “Yourself”
You don’t need to be more productive. More patient. More positive.
You need to be supported, seen, and safe.

Frequently Asked Questions About Women’s Counseling in Oregon
-
Expressive arts therapy offers women a safe, creative way to explore emotions, heal trauma, and reconnect with themselves—especially when words feel limiting. Through art, movement, writing, and music, women can:
Express what’s hard to say like grief, anger, or fear
Regulate emotions and feel more grounded
Heal trauma safely through symbolic and body-based expression
Reclaim identity and voice beyond roles or past wounds
Strengthen self-worth and self-compassion
Find joy and creativity as part of the healing process
No art skills are needed, just an openness to creative exploration in a supportive, non-judgmental space.
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps women safely process and heal from trauma, anxiety, low self-worth, or painful memories.
With EMDR, women can:
Reduce emotional pain from past trauma or abuse
Shift negative beliefs like “I’m not safe” or “I’m not enough”
Heal without having to talk in detail about what happened
Feel more empowered, calm, and in control
Restore trust in themselves, their bodies, and relationships
EMDR is especially effective for women healing from PTSD, childhood trauma, grief, or relational wounds.
