Life is NOT for the faint!
But YOURS CAN BE a vibrant journey.
WELCOME! This space was created just for you—a woman seeking hope and tools to manage life’s challenges and achieve her personal goals.
Though you may have discovered this space because of a grieving heart or stress and confusion about the next step to take in moving forward to heal, I’m glad you’re here and focused on the work of YOU.
As a therapist and founder of Transformation Counseling Services, I’m committed to providing specialized care and a nurturing space for women of all ages and backgrounds to transform their lives from the inside out.
Solution-Focused Care and Resources for Women
As you know, life has many challenges, losses, and transitions. And in managing these life shifts, women are often the ones who give and care for others with little regard for their own wellbeing. The last ones to cheer their victories but the first to critique their shortcomings. But, starting today, we can work to change that.
My specialty areas are grief and loss and mental health for women and moms. You may be a good fit for my services or resources if you can relate to these statements:
facing major life transitions
I’m a woman in transition, scared and unsure of my next move. I’m afraid I will fail. I’m afraid that I’m not good enough.
lacking self-identity/self-love
I’m a woman who is unfulfilled and uncertain. No one knows the heavy weight of inadequacy I carry daily. My smile is a suffocating mask. No one sees the real me.
surviving Pregnancy and infant loss
I’m a mom with empty arms who has survived the unimaginable heartbreak of losing a baby. I’ve buried my precious one, along with my hopes for the future. I’m suffering in silence.
having difficulty during postpartum
I’m a mom who has recently birthed a child, but my days and nights of mothering are filled with sadness, anxiety, shame, and anger. I feel lost, overwhelmed, and joyless.
You are one thought closer to realizing positive change in your life.
Why Work Exclusively with Women?
Women are some of the greatest caregivers and nurturers, but often fail to give themselves the undying love and support they freely give to others. Women have unique challenges that need direct care and understanding from a skilled professional sensitive to their needs. Women need a safe space to cultivate their individual voices and increase self-awareness, self-love, self-compassion, and self-determination.
Why Pregnancy and Infant Loss?
One in four women will feel the heartache of pregnancy and infant loss. Many suffer in isolation without adequate support and space to acknowledge and process the emotions they feel in rebuilding their lives from the broken pieces of grief. No matter the gestation or age, the death of a baby is a traumatic loss that requires compassionate support and education in navigating the life-long healing journey as a loss mom.
Why Grief and Loss?
Grieving is hard and scary work. We often run from the pain of loss to avoid feeling. But grief is hard to escape as life is full of losses and deaths in relationships, opportunities, and roles—even loss of esteem, hopes, and dreams. Still, there are healthy and effective ways to grieve with helpful emotional tools and support. Grieving is an individual process and looks differently for each person. Grief has no timetable or deadline. You can’t escape it or rush the process in healing, but you can start working today to confront it.
Why You?
This is your time today—right now—to be intentional in transforming your life by LOVING, RESPECTING, and ACCEPTING the woman you are now while working on the woman you desire to become. Even in the face of uncertainty, grief, and loss, change is possible and inevitable. Most importantly, you are capable of realizing positive growth and healing in your life.
