Solution-focused Online therapy For WOMEN

Hi, I'm Sladja!

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor serving women in Texas and Washington through online therapy.

I work with women who want more than a place to vent. Together, we identify what's keeping you stuck, build practical tools, and make real changes in how you think, decide, and show up in your life.

My approach is warm, supportive, and solution-focused. You'll feel heard and understood, but also anchored to your goals, so our sessions keep moving you forward. We’ll focus on what needs attention in your life right now and what you want to change.

how Therapy Works

Therapy works best when it helps us understand what's happening and then encourages us to do something about it. We'll look at the patterns that keep showing up in your life, but insight alone is never the end goal. It's the starting point for change. Together, we'll turn what you learn about yourself into practical steps, stronger self-trust, and real shifts in how you handle what's in front of you. Our focus will remain on the here and now and what will help you move forward.

Concerns I Help With

I work with women navigating anxiety, overthinking, self-doubt, relationship uncertainty, people pleasing, burnout, life transitions, and struggling to build healthy routines.

Whether you feel stuck in familiar patterns or simply know something needs to shift, therapy can help you understand what isn't working and change it.

The courage to act, not endless analysis, will change your life

We analyze our patterns, understand where they come from, and still find ourselves stuck in the same place. If therapy has started to feel like going in circles, this one's for you. Awareness is the starting point, not the destination.

Having a Bull Terrier is a Spiritual Practice.

Some connections arrive quietly and change us forever. Through loving and losing Rini, and learning to live with the wild, untamed spirit of River, I discovered that love doesn’t always look the way we expect it to. Sometimes it asks us to slow down. Sometimes it asks us to let go. And sometimes it teaches us how to live fully awake, right in the middle of the chaos.

If you dwell in desperation, you’ll settle for crumbs

There’s something I keep noticing in women and I can’t stop thinking about it. I see it in others, but also, I’ve lived it myself. And every time I see it, I think — we can do better than this.

A woman knows exactly what she wants. She’s clear. She’s specific. She’s not confused or unrealistic — she just knows. And then something shows up that’s close. Not it, but similar enough to start negotiating and questioning herself.

People Pleasing Isn’t Kindness. It’s Disconnection From self

People pleasing does not always look obvious. It often gets framed as being too nice, having weak boundaries, or caring too much what people think. But at a deeper level, people pleasing can become a way of leaving yourself. You override what you feel, shape yourself around other people’s comfort, and slowly lose touch with your own truth. This post explores how that disconnection happens and why healing is not just about saying no more often, but about returning to yourself.

Overthinking is Not Our Friend

Some thinking helps us understand ourselves better. Some thinking just keeps us circling. In this post, I explore the difference between reflection and overthinking, and why one leads to clarity while the other often leads to stuckness.

Should I Stay or Should I go? Questions For Clarity And Resolve

Do you find yourself constantly questioning your relationship, replaying conversations, and trying to decide whether you’re “overthinking” or actually unhappy? If nothing feels wrong enough to leave but nothing feels right enough to stay, this post is for you. Inside, you’ll find a set of clarity questions designed to cut through the mental spiral and bring you back to what matters most: how this relationship feels in your body, your day-to-day life, and your sense of self, so you can make a decision from self-trust instead of confusion.

Maybe you just need a hobby

Somewhere along the way, many adults stopped doing things just because they felt good. We optimized our time, turned interests into side projects, and forgot what it’s like to engage in something without performance or outcome. A hobby isn’t about mastery or productivity. It’s about giving your nervous system something steady, curious, and yours. If your life feels efficient but flat, it might not be a crisis. It might just be time to get a hobby.
