I help clients, of all ages, overcome adversity to lead rich, full, and meaningful lives. Sometimes clients reach out with specific issues they would like to work on and sometimes clients aren't sure what exactly the "problem" is, they just aren't happy or satisfied. My job is to walk along side you and help you uncover and live your truth in a warm and therapeutic way. I safely encourage the best of the people I work with, even when they aren't feeling like that is possible. Life is constantly changing and I can help you find your way.

Is anxiety preventing you from doing the things you want in your life? Is it keeping you from interacting with people, even those you love, in a free and open manner? Is anxiety sometimes even making it hard for you to get out of the house? Most of us need help getting our harsh inner critics to be quiet. Mindful self awareness, self acceptance and self compassion are crucial first steps in creating a calmer, more satisfying life. I believe that feeling better requires two things: learning new skills and gaining insight.

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.
