Therapy for Women in Sandy Springs, GA
Struggles may stem from hormonal changes, past relationships, or long-term emotional overwhelm.
This is a space for healing and growth.
Trauma-Informed Therapy Approaches
I offer trauma-informed therapy for women using:
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)
Build emotional resilience, boundary skills, and mindful awareness for better emotional regulation.
Polyvagal Theory
Nervous system techniques to help you feel safer and more regulated in your body.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Explore protective parts of yourself and help them soften so your authentic Self can lead.
EMDR
Process stuck memories and rewire your brain's emotional responses to trauma.
The goal: reconnect with your body, reclaim your voice, and move forward with clarity.
Why You Feel Stuck and How We Can Shift That
So many women carry invisible emotional burdens. You might appear "fine" on the outside, yet inside you feel anxious, disconnected, exhausted, or resentful. You may notice:
- You keep attracting emotionally unavailable or narcissistic partners.
- You feel intense guilt or shame when trying to set boundaries.
- You've lost a sense of who you are outside of being needed by others.
- Your emotions feel unpredictable or overwhelming, especially during hormonal shifts.
- You struggle with self-trust or feel unsure about what you really want.
The truth is: you are not broken. Your nervous system is doing its best to protect you based on past experiences.
Therapy can help you rewire those survival patterns so you can live with more ease, authenticity, and emotional regulation.
Hormones & Trauma: The Overlooked Connection
Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause can intensify symptoms like anxiety, depression, irritability, and memory issues.
Declining estrogen and progesterone can reactivate unprocessed trauma, especially from relationships.
These changes make the nervous system more sensitive, resurfacing old emotional wounds.
You're not "going crazy." Your body is calling for nervous system support, trauma healing, and compassion.
Therapy can help you:
Navigate hormonal changes with more grace and awareness.
Understand how past trauma may be amplifying current symptoms.
Reconnect to your body's natural capacity to heal and self-regulate.
Healing from Relationship Pain, Narcissistic Abuse, and Codependency
Have you been in a relationship that made you question your worth, your reality, or your sanity? Maybe you were with someone who was emotionally manipulative, unavailable, or narcissistic, and now you're left sorting through the emotional wreckage.
You might struggle with:
- Feeling overly responsible for others' emotions.
- Losing yourself in relationships.
- Avoiding conflict out of fear of abandonment.
- Internalizing blame or criticism.
Using tools from IFS, we'll explore the protective parts of you that developed to keep you safe, and help them soften so your authentic Self can lead. With EMDR, we'll process stuck memories and rewire your brain's emotional responses. Polyvagal techniques will help you feel safer in your body again. And with DBT, you'll build emotional resilience, boundary skills, and mindful awareness.
Ready to Move Forward?
You deserve to feel confident in your choices, comfortable in your body, and clear about your boundaries. You deserve relationships that nourish rather than drain you.
Healing is possible, and you don't have to do it alone. Let's work together to help you reclaim your authentic self and create the life you truly want.
