What is women's wellness?
Wellness comes when we work toward balance physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. Like a nest, a woman's wellness is cobbled together by many different pieces and each finished product is unique to her. Your particular sense of wellness may be related to your family, career, health, appearance, social connections, intelligence, creativity, accomplishments or abilities. Throughout life, women do all sorts of things to improve wellness. These things are usually based on what's important to you. You may pursue higher education or a professional trade, partner, get divorced, pursue motherhood, achieve in the work place, choose to work inside the home, have elective or preventive surgery, exercise, diet, volunteer, etc. |
What are some things that impact a woman's wellness?
Conversely, a failure to change can also impact your well-being. You may have a long-standing negative self-perception holding you back. |
Do I need therapy to rebuild my wellness?
Every woman's sense of wellness is unique to her.

How I help women rebuild and reclaim their wellness
My therapeutic approach to for working with women's wellness issues is drawn from two highly effective mindfulness-based behavioral therapies: acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy . I am honored to have helped women of all ages rebuild and reclaim their wellness through mindful acceptance and change processes.
