Women’s Therapist Boulder, CO
As women, we move through seasons of life that shape, stretch, and sometimes unravel us. From early adulthood to midlife and beyond, there are times when the questions become louder than the answers: Who am I now? How do I care for everyone else without losing myself? What does it mean to step into a new chapter with authenticity and strength?
Living as a woman in today’s world carries a unique set of pressures and challenges. Many of us grow up learning to care for others first, to achieve without faltering, and to minimize our own needs along the way. We often move through the world feeling an inherent lack of safety. These patterns can be deeply ingrained, shaping the way you see yourself and your relationships. For this reason, many women seek out same-sex therapists — not only for the familiarity of shared experience, but for the sense of safety and understanding that comes from working with someone who knows, in a personal way, what it’s like to move through the world as a woman.
Therapy for women provides a safe, grounding place to bring these questions and all the feelings that come with them. It’s not just about coping skills or surface-level problem solving. It’s about reconnecting with yourself at a deeper level, healing old wounds, and learning to move through the world with more trust in your own voice.
If you’re looking for a women’s therapist near Boulder, CO who can hold space for both the emotional and energetic layers of your experience, I’m here to support you.
Therapy works best when you feel safe and connected. To make sure this feels right for you, I offer free, no-pressure 20-minute discovery calls where we can meet, share, and sense whether we’re the right fit.
Why Women Seek Therapy
Every woman’s story is unique, but there are common threads I hear in my work as a women’s therapist:
Midlife transitions: Shifts in career, relationships, family structure, or personal identity that bring both loss and possibility.
Relationship challenges: Navigating partnerships, parenting, friendships, or complicated family dynamics.
Burnout and overwhelm: Carrying multiple roles and responsibilities while feeling like there’s never enough time or space for yourself.
Perfectionism and people-pleasing: Patterns that may have once kept you safe but now feel limiting.
Body and self-image struggles: Feeling disconnected from your body or battling internalized expectations.
Trauma and emotional pain: Experiences that linger in the nervous system and continue to shape the way you see yourself and the world.
Anxiety and chronic worry: Feeling constantly “on,” overthinking, or living with a sense of unease that makes it hard to rest or feel present. Learn more about my approach to Therapy for Anxiety.
If you recognize yourself in any of these, know that you don’t have to carry it all alone. Therapy creates a container where you can lay down the weight, explore your inner world, and begin to build something new.
My Approach To Therapy For Women
I believe women deserve therapy that honors both their lived experience and their inner wisdom. My approach blends evidence-based clinical tools with intuitive awareness, creating a process that is both structured and deeply personal.
Some of the methods I draw on include:
EMDR for trauma processing and integration.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore and heal the different “parts” of yourself.
Somatic practices that bring the body into the healing process.
Attachment-based work to understand and reshape patterns in relationships.
Alongside these approaches, I bring an intuitive sensitivity that allows me to hold space for the spiritual and energetic aspects of healing when it feels supportive. For many women, this integration of therapy and intuition feels like a natural way to address both the mind and the soul.

Women’s Therapy vs. General Therapy
While my I provide therapy and counseling for all gender identities and people of all walks of life, much of my lived and clinical experience lends itself specifically well to the needs and experiences of women. This is important because women often face unique pressures and transitions that deserve specialized attention.
Women’s therapy is not about excluding men or nonbinary people, it’s about centering the lived experience of women and acknowledging the ways culture, relationships, and internalized narratives shape the way you see yourself. It’s about having a space where you don’t have to explain why certain struggles feel so heavy, because your therapist already understands the context.rs both mind and soul.
The Power of Women-Centered Therapy
When women begin therapy, they often find:
A deeper sense of clarity about who they are beyond roles and expectations.
The courage to set boundaries and honor their needs.
Relief from anxiety, self-doubt, or cycles of burnout.
Healing from old patterns that no longer serve them.
A renewed connection to their own body, intuition, and creativity.
Therapy is not about fixing you, because you are not broken or lost. It’s about reclaiming your wholeness, piece by piece, until you feel more at home in your own life.
Location and Accessibility
My practice is based in Boulder, Colorado. I meet with women both in person and virtually, depending on what works best for you.

This flexibility allows you to access therapy when and how you need it most.

FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions About Women’s Therapy
What kinds of issues do women usually bring to therapy?
Many women seek therapy during times of transition or when roles and expectations feel overwhelming. Common themes include navigating midlife shifts, relationship changes, perfectionism, burnout, body image struggles, or the desire to reconnect with intuition and self-worth.
How is women’s therapy different from general therapy?
While general therapy supports people of all genders, women’s therapy centers the unique pressures women often face — balancing multiple roles, navigating identity, and processing cultural or relational expectations. It’s a space where those dynamics are not only acknowledged but explored in depth.
Can women’s therapy help if I’m not in a major life crisis?
Absolutely. Many women come to therapy not because something is “wrong,” but because they want space for reflection, growth, and self-discovery. Therapy can be a proactive choice — a way to strengthen your inner resources before stress becomes overwhelming.
Do you integrate trauma-informed or body-based approaches?
Yes. Much of my work with women incorporates trauma-informed therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and somatic practices. These approaches can help address the ways experiences live in the body while also creating more safety and regulation in daily life.
What if I’m interested in both women’s therapy and intuitive guidance?
You don’t have to choose one or the other. Some women focus solely on therapy, while others combine it with intuitive readings for added clarity and perspective. We can decide together what blend feels most supportive for you.
Do you see women virtually, or only in Boulder?
Both. I meet with clients in person at my Boulder office, and I also provide secure virtual therapy for women across Colorado. Virtual sessions are especially helpful if you’re balancing work, family, or live outside the Boulder area.
