I specialize in working with people who are trying to untangle the threads of relationships-whether it's relationships with family, friends, children, significant others, or even your relationship with yourself. I work with individual adults, adolescents, or couples. Many clients find that their struggles fall in these categories: depression, anxiety, relationship problems, transitions, identity issues, self-exploration, grief and loss, self-esteem, and spirituality. However you name your experience, my goal is to provide a safe place where we can explore your story, untangle the knots, and re-weave those threads.

However, many people don’t have that in their lives and need guidance and support from outside sources, which I have done for over 20 years as a psychotherapist and community leader. Counseling individuals, families, and marriages, I help resolve conflicts, identify patterns of symptoms, strengthen relationships, pursue new adventures, and increase self-awareness. Through the therapeutic bond, clients have an opportunity to trust me and create a deeper relationship with themselves.

As we focus through the lens of the whole person of the client: emotional, physical and spiritual. It is through that lens a greater understanding can be gauged. The overall goal is progress, not perfection. The collaborative work is done with unconditional positive regard and empathy. We face many challenges in life and those challenges can affect our daily life. However, the challenges we can encounter can become strengths and a platform to catapult us into our purpose.

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.
