Maybe Your Mental Health Challenges Have Made It Difficult to Enjoy Life

do you feel the constant pressure to be everything to everyone?

does it feel like there’s an endless list of expectations to be the perfect wife, mother, friend, daughter, and employee?

is a mental health issue like anxiety, depression, or a pattern of people-pleasing making it hard for you to enjoy life?

is the emotional weight of being a mom draining your energy and leaving you feeling sad and irritable?

Perhaps you feel like you have to be there for everyone, juggling your career and home life with ease. You might be struggling with infertility, postpartum depression, or other perinatal issues. I also understand that being a mother doesn't necessarily mean giving birth, and there are many different types of mothering. You may need support when transitioning into a new role as a mother, changing careers, or finding your passion—or in embracing the decision not to have children and what that looks like for you.

When facing all this stress, you might engage in self-sabotaging behaviors like drinking too much, skipping meals, or spending excessive time on social media. You may be thinking of seeing a therapist who specializes in providing mental health support for women.

The Pressure to Be Perfect Is Real

As a woman in today’s world, you might feel bombarded by sky-high expectations for beauty and success. When you don’t live up to the standards set by social media and diet culture, you may worry that you’re just not good enough. Maybe you suffer from negative body image and have trouble accepting the way you look, especially as your body changes throughout different chapters of your life. It’s hard to love the body we're in and have a healthy relationship with food when nobody ever taught us how.

Additionally, perhaps your relationships don’t make you feel good about who you are. You might be in a toxic or abusive relationship or have a partner who doesn’t respect your needs and boundaries. Deep down, you probably wish you had more of a voice—you’re tired of making yourself invisible for the other person.

The truth is that, while we like to believe we’ve achieved gender equality, women still face disproportionate adversity in our world today. Between sexism in the workplace, unrealistic beauty standards, and conflicting demands, it's no secret that most women are struggling. We are more likely to deal with anxiety, depression, and other mental health ailments, and we're still expected to bear the mental load of motherhood.

You Don't Have to Do It Alone

Low self-worth and negative body image have become especially prevalent in recent decades. Now more than ever, women need a place where they can escape the clamor of voices telling them who they need to be, how they need to dress, and what they need to eat. In short, they need somewhere where they can be themselves and find respite from the pressures of the outside world.

If you want to make room for a real, deep kind of self-care—beyond the manicures and beauty products—I can help. My mission is to help women improve their mental health and better their relationships with themselves and others. I am confident that I can do the same for you.
