Therapy through a Feminist Lens
I practice therapy through a feminist lens, which means I honor the ways that systems like patriarchy, racism, and other forms of oppression can impact mental health. This approach is collaborative, empowering, and focused on helping you reconnect with your voice, values, and sense of self. Together, we’ll explore how your experiences are shaped not just by personal history, but by the larger cultural messages and social structures around you.
In practice, this might look like:
Exploring how systems of oppression—like patriarchy, racism, homophobia, ableism, and classism—impact your mental health and self-worth.
Validating your lived experiences and helping you make sense of how cultural messages have shaped your identity, relationships, and beliefs.
Challenging internalized beliefs that may be rooted in unrealistic or harmful societal expectations (e.g., around gender roles, productivity, body image).
Focusing on empowerment, helping you build confidence, set boundaries, and reconnect with your values and strengths.
Recognizing the intersections of your identity (such as race, gender, sexuality, disability, and more) and how they affect your lived experience.
This approach is not just for women—it’s for anyone who wants to understand themselves more fully within the context of the world around them.
