I specialize in working with adult women experiencing anxiety, depression, Autism, ADHD, and other neurodiversity-related issues.
Are you struggling with ADHD, Autism, neurodiversity-related issues, or anxiety? As women, we face many complex challenges. Wearing so many hats at once can feel overwhelming, especially with a different neurotype. You might feel like no one understands or has the time to listen. You're used to keeping it all inside and managing on your own, but it's not working anymore. You want to find peace and relief from what's keeping you from enjoying life. You deserve compassionate and empowering care. You don't have to manage these emotions by yourself anymore.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to face the deep and dark areas of your story, come eye to eye with your fears, and believe that you deserve to live a life of peace and fulfillment. Having a counselor who will meet you where you are in your process and provide a safe environment, can help reduce nervousness associated with starting counseling services. I want to help you process life events, challenge destructive thinking, improve your ability to navigate difficult situations, and live a fulfilling life.

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.
