HSV Support For Women
Compassionate, stigma-reducing support for women navigating the very real emotional weight of an HSV or herpes diagnosis — including fear of transmission, dating, disclosure, self-acceptance, and building resilience.
“This diagnosis changed how I feel about myself.”
“I feel so alone, and I’m afraid I will never find someone who will love and accept me just the way I am.”
“I’m terrified of infecting someone I care about.”
If any of these statements resonate with you, you are in the right place.
For many women, an HSV or herpes diagnosis doesn’t just raise medical questions — it can quietly shake identity, confidence, and a sense of safety in relationships. Even when symptoms are minimal or nonexistent, the emotional impact can feel overwhelming. Stigma, fear of transmission, and uncertainty around dating and disclosure often become heavier than the virus itself.
This space exists to meet you where you are — with care, compassion, and understanding — honoring your timing and your healing process.
A Trauma-Informed, Stigma-Reducing Approach
HSV is a common virus, and many people carry it without ever experiencing symptoms or outbreaks. Yet the primary suffering for many women is not physical — it is emotional and relational. Shame, fear, and silence often cause far more pain than the virus itself.
My approach centers on the nervous system, emotional safety, and lived experience. Support here is not about “fixing” you — it is about helping you feel grounded, knowledgeable, supported, and whole again.
Two Ways To Receive Support
Healing looks different for everyone. Some women find strength in shared community, while others need individualized support. You may choose one path or move between both.

Coaching
-
Confidential, small closed groups focused on reducing shame, fostering connection, and supporting emotional healing through shared experience.
It provides a safe container where you can get education, guidance, support, connection, and empowerment through the challenges and opportunities of living life with herpes.
-
Trauma-informed and resilience-oriented individual support for women navigating the challenges of an HSV or herpes diagnosis, stigma, dating, disclosure, fear of transmission, confidence, and self-trust at their own pace.
It might be better suited for women who dpn’t feel safe or are not ready to talk about it openly in a group setting and/or prefer to maintain their privacy.
