As a solution-focused psychologist with a diverse clinical background, I am able to tailor my work to fit the specific needs of each client. Many individuals will hit a rough patch their lives leaving them feeling overwhelmed, stuck, alone, uninspired, unfulfilled, or just out of ideas. Clients are particularly ready for psychotherapy when the problem begins to interfere with functional living and relationships.

As individuals, we face some of life’s most difficult challenges on a daily basis. Although we are all different in our life perspectives, we all are all similar in that we may need help in recognizing, and addressing the thoughts, challenges, and barriers that we experience. Processing these issues in a safe and non-judgmental environment allows for the space and time needed to reflect and reclaim. I embrace this perspective as a therapist. Previous clients have shared that my “calm presence” has helped them to feel comfortable enough to share their experiences, and that my “deep perspective” helps to drive change.

The problems we face in our personal lives can be deep and meaningful, but can also feel too complicated to deal with. Everywhere we turn we can find suggestions, opinions, quick fixes, and somehow they never really touch the underlying issue. Our reaction to any perceived problem is usually to become very judgmental of ourselves and to go from one extreme to the other. But we can learn new patterns, new skills, and truly work with ourselves instead of against. My work as a counselor is to provide a space for my clients slow down, to learn to listen, trust, and believe in themselves.

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.
