Do you find yourself avoiding intimacy, feeling anxious in social situations, or struggling to trust others? Do past wounds make it hard to feel safe, connected, or fully present? No matter how much you try to move forward, self-doubt, frustration, and emotional exhaustion keep pulling you back. You overthink interactions, blame yourself for what happened, and feel unworthy of love. Trauma anniversaries bring flashbacks, nightmares, or moments of feeling on edge. You are not broken, and you don’t have to keep carrying this alone. Healing is possible.

Intimate relationships are fluid and complex. Conflict does not mean you are incompatible. It is a signal that you should start paying more attention to the relationship. Problems do not magically go away! Conflict can feel like a crisis, but can be an opportunity for growth and change. It does takes courage to facing what is in front of you, no longer being willing to live with pain, or loneliness. After 45 years experience and years of post graduate training in couples work I can help shift the dynamic and allow you to each move forward. If your partner is unwilling, contact me independently. It is the first step toward changing.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, 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 because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
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 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.
