I work with school-age children (Pre-K to 12th grade) and their families to help identify areas of need and develop strategies to promote student success at school and in life. Many students may find it difficult to maintain attention and focus, meet behavioral expectations in the classroom, overcome anxiety, interact with their peers, or make adequate academic progress. Parents often feel the emotional impact of these challenges as they support their children navigating through them. My aim is to provide a safe and encouraging environment where all students and families feel supported in reaching their goals.

Grief is also not limited to losing a loved one by death but also going through a separation/divorce, loss of a home or income, or loss of normalcy (as so many of us experienced through the pandemic). My ideal client is one that finds themselves "stuck," "numb", "on auto-pilot", one who finds themselves often irritable, angry, sad or in despair. Let's finally take the steps needed to process your grief and heal

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
