Waitlist for new clients
I joined the counseling profession to support clients experiencing the challenges of life while seeking support to navigate their journey toward healing. Clients may be teens, young adults, or adults grappling with trauma, grief, ADHD, eating disorders, or life transitions. They might be veterans or part of a veteran's family, survivors of religious trauma or sexual abuse, or individuals exploring their spirituality. My goal is to empower my clients and walk alongside them as they discover their inner strength.

There are times in everyone's life when navigating day-to-day struggles and problems seem more than we can do on our own. Sometimes, we just need someone to talk to who will listen, not judge, and help us to find our way again.

I’m here to listen, if you’re ready to talk. Even if you’re not quite ready to talk about everything, I’m here to stand beside you while we get it figured out. My approach is about meeting you where you are, hearing your story, and working together to find tools that are specifically tailored to work for you. Above all, I am here to provide warmth, support, empathy, and sometimes (when it’s needed) a gentle kick in the pants to get you to being the most awesome self you can be.

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.
