Bishop’s Counseling for Women

Individual counseling allows you to work through a wide array of issues that are important to you . I strive to refocus the therapeutic process back to the issues women struggle with on a daily basis. Issues such as comparison, perfectionism, vulnerability and shame. In our culture today, more and more is expected of a woman. Women are relational beings and they see themselves in the context of their relationships. Not only do women play several different roles, but society has placed an expectation of perfection in each role you pursue. I wish to provide a safe place for you to discuss the areas of your life you wish to work on.

Relationship counseling allows you the opportunity to seek counseling with your significant other, to address issues that may require more than individual counseling can accomplish. It is no secret that relationships are complicated, but it takes two to affect real change in your relationship. This is why I recommend you work with your significant other, in a safe place, to focus on conflict resolution, restoring trust, vulnerability, communication issues, family of origin work, healing from infidelity and financial strain. I also offer premarital counseling for those who want to work on the above before they enter into marriage.

“Adulting” is a new term that is being used with fervor by women in their 20’s and early 30’s. I am passionate about helping women in this stage gain clarity on their individualized passions and goals, so that they are not swept up in the expectations of others, but rather on fire for their own gifts and purpose. I have found that this focus leads to the most grounded form of “Adulting” you can find. I largely focus on personality assessment (enneagram work), relationships, family of origin, boundaries, assertive communication, finances and budgeting, assertive communication, motivation and goal work, passion finding, job concerns, and spirituality.

I wrote the book on boundaries. Literally. In Boundaries Are A Woman's Best Friend. I teach you to pursue a self knowing that allows you to set boundaries with confidence instead of guilt. This therapeutic service focuses on self exploration, spiritual seeking, ego state work, healthy relationships and good communication. Boundary work is included in all therapeutic services, but if you know this is what you need the most help with, it is a great service to start with.

The intention of ego state counseling is to help you better understand the parts of self that exist inside of you and how to take care of each part. This practice is born from gestalt therapy which aims to help you reconnect your fragmented and pain filled parts of self. This is an incredibly impactful therapy and has changed my life and the lives of many clients. It lowers anxiety and depression, helps with security and safety, and supports boundary setting and clear communication.

I am a Certified Christian Therapist and a Certified Faith Based Therapist. I counsel all faith backgrounds. This is because what we believe has a significant impact on our thought processes and the stories we tell ourselves. What we believe defines our identity and our choices. Taking the time in therapy to explore what you believe and why can greatly support your healing journey. What we are living for and prioritizing in our lives changes our health and wellness, and it all starts with what you believe.
