Congratulations! You have taken the first step into healing! Life is a constant learning experience to adapt to different cultures, situations, social groups and roles. Sometimes we may need somebody's insight, validation and support when walking in unknown territory. Whether the reason for seeking therapy is trauma, mental health issues or life changes, I believe we are all capable of resolving our own issues as long as there is awareness, understanding and willingness to face those challenges.

Maybe we should talk. We all face challenges; sometimes we know exactly what we need to do and seem to handle them well. Then there are other times when all that we feel is overwhelmed. I believe solution lies around the corner; that an exploration of your options will enable you to feel in charge once again. I value working with people of all ages, individually or within their relationships or families. I offer intensive therapeutic support for couples who wish to strengthen their relationships or who recognize they're heading for divorce. Give me a call; we'll talk.

Sorry - Only virtual appointments right now. I believe that the relationship between therapist and client must be collaborative. Each course of treatment is unique. It is your journey but we travel it together. A client needs to be motivated to change, able to give and take feedback and be ready to take responsibility for his/her own life. My approach to therapies - psychotherapy, biofeedback and hypnosis all stress increasing conscious awareness of YOU so that you can have greater control and choose the life you want to live.

I see therapy as a collaborative process in which my role as a therapist is that of a "fellow traveler" on your healing journey. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive space to navigate your journey to healing and empowerment. I lead with curiosity, compassion, and open-mindedness. I believe each person and situation is unique and that YOU are the expert on your life. With that, I utilize a narrative and strengths-based lens to empower individuals to rewrite their stories and reenforce their inherent strengths.

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.
