Counseling & Therapy for Women in Lake Oswego & Portland, OR

Feeling Overwhelmed? You’re Not Alone

You’re tired. You’ve always been the one who could “do it all,” but it’s catching up with you. You love your work, cherish your family, and try to maintain a social life while staying healthy—but it feels like you’re being pulled in a million directions.

You tried meditating, but your mind won’t quiet down. You know you need strength, balance, and clarity, but you’re not sure where to find them.

Lately, you and your partner feel distant. You’ve taken on the role of "ring leader" at home, but your leadership is being misunderstood as control—and it’s straining your relationship.

You can’t just “let it go” like your partner suggests—because if you don’t handle everything, who will? But you’re exhausted. You miss feeling close, connected, and having fun together. Where did that connection go?

If you’re a mom, you also want to be a great parent. You stay engaged with your kids’ teachers, help with homework, make sure they eat well, and encourage them to be active. At the same time, you love your career—it’s where you feel most like yourself, beyond the roles of mom and partner. You’re ambitious, creative, and driven, and you don’t want to give that up.

Exhausted, Anxious, and Seeking Balance? A Therapist in Lake Oswego Can Help

But something has to give. You’re drained. Anxiety is a daily struggle, and some days, depression lingers just beneath the surface. You keep telling yourself you should have figured this out by now.

You’ve always worked hard and made things happen, but sheer grit isn’t enough anymore. You crave balance, clarity, and a life that flows more smoothly. More than anything, you want to reconnect with yourself—to remember what makes you happy.

Rediscovering Your Strength & Inner Wisdom

Women are incredibly intuitive, creative, and strong, but those qualities can get buried under the demands of life. I love helping women reconnect with their inner wisdom—the part of you that is curious, ambitious, loving, and deeply insightful.

Some of my clients feel like they’ve lost that connection, while others never had the chance to nurture it.

My clients say I provide a gentle yet direct space where they feel supported but also challenged to grow. I help you get to the heart of the issue quickly, offering insights that bring clarity and movement. I’ll never treat you as if you’re broken—because you’re not. Life is just complicated, and sometimes, you need the right support and strategies to navigate it.

Women’s Counseling for More Peace, Balance, and Fulfillment

If you’re ready to look inward and rediscover the strongest, most authentic version of yourself, I’m here to help.

Together, we will:
✅ Identify what’s draining you and create a plan to restore balance.
✅ Simplify and restructure your life so it works for you—not against you.
✅ Strengthen your communication skills to improve your relationships.
✅ Remove obstacles that keep you feeling stuck.
✅ Reconnect with your sense of purpose, joy, and fulfillment.

The result? More peace, more balance, and deeper connections with the people who matter most.
