Identifying as female in our culture in 2023 comes with so many landmines. Navigating relationships, work/life balance, parenting, misogyny, rights to body autonomy, and so on. If you've clicked on this specialty, you know. I like to work from an feminist perspective to see how gender underlies other stressors. Feminism is intersectional, and if you identify as female (or on the feminine side of the spectrum) this space is for you.

Burnout! As women we live with the expectation of putting everyone else's needs first! I hear the unspoken embarrassment of not being able to “keep up” or “lean in” or “get it all done.” These women have nothing left for themselves and they feel “empty”, “hopeless”, “stuck”.

Sarah Craycraft

In alignment with my cultural studies, I see gender issues as an intimate piece of our identity, often without conscious choice or recognition.

Donna Prinzmetal (she/her)

Christina Dunning (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

In our society, women are so often taught to put their needs second and to be warm and consistently pleasant to those around them. While these qualities can sometimes be helpful, they can also trap us in patterns in which we lose track of our needs and disconnect from our authentic selves. Counseling offers a place to reconnect with oneself and explore and practice boundary setting and self care.

When women are empowered, humanity will finally be able to live peaceably upon the Earth. The patriarchy has subjugated, repressed and shamed the feminine, women and the Earth for thousands of years. It is the unique responsibility of women to empower themselves in the face of this oppression, changing the paradigm from within. I love to work with: Body image, self love, mothering, sex and female pleasure, facing shame, initiations into feminine power.

Jennie Hayes, LPC

We are a cultural turning point for women, a reckoning coming at a time where women still face enormous amounts of misogyny, internalized misogyny, role expectation, discrimination, harassment and social expectations about everything from looks to childbearing to relationships.
