What if, instead of managing or running away from your suffering, you could heal the wounds at the core of it to the root? I have helped people do just this in my decades of work as depth psychotherapist, workshop leader, author, and speaker. In addition to working one-to-one with clients, I use my writing and speaking to help people understand how our own wounds and healing affect our world’s wounds and healing. Along with my first book, “Power Abused, Power Healed,” I recently published a new book, “How Did We Get Here?” exploring the real roots of the heart-breaking condition of our world, and how we can help heal those roots.

Emotions are human and universal. The way in which emotions are experienced are unique and vary from person to person. Intense emotions and life situations often leave people feeling alone and isolated in a world full of people. Asking for help is the most difficult task and takes an enormous amount of strength. My goal is to help you reach your goals, find ways to express emotions, manage thoughts and feel supported every step of the way.

When seeking help, we first need the safety and security of warmth and acceptance. In our vulnerability, we need our integrity and our pain validated and respected. We need an integration of healing that includes mind. body, and soul. Together, we set clear and achievable goals. In an atmosphere of mutual trust, there is the challenge and support, the laughter and the tears involved in struggling to reach the self-direction, independence, and the peace we seek. The skills developed to survive are the foundation on which healing is built. Individuals and families are meant to move beyond survival and claim their right to thrive.

These are very stressful times, and life can be so very hard with different challenges that we face over the years. Adults deserve a place where they feel welcomed to sort through their feelings, whether it be related to past trauma or current challenges. Families need a place to work through their struggles and not feel that they are alone in dealing with problems that can arise while raising children, to create healthy communication, and healing in their family. Children and teens may feel like coming to therapy means they are different, so its important that everyone who comes to therapy feels welcome and heard.

Life is full of stressors, and these stressors probably got more complicated by surrounding crisis like the pandemic. YOU are not the only one; you are not alone in this. Help is always there for those who seek it. You could have anxiety or you could have gone through traumatic experience, and going through grief. You could be struggling with substance use, or have unmet goals of yours. I hope that you know the real value of counseling therapy. Although it has been recognized as a treatment for those who truly need it, it is also the road to learn how to cope with the points and situations we struggle with during our daily lives.

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.
