You’ve grown up wondering if you’re weird, wrong, or at fault. You feel like you don’t align with your family, your assigned gender, or traditional relationships. You wonder if you speak the same language as others in your world. You’ve tried to fit in, get things done, and meet others’ standards, but have always felt like you’re missing the mark. You feel stuck, like everyone else knows something you don’t. Now, you want guidance, support, and a deeper understanding of yourself and your ideal life.

Difficulties in life can affect your ability to attain your potential and enjoy yourself. "Don't wait for something big to occur. Start where you are, with what you have, and that will always lead you into something greater." - Mary Manin Morrissey. Sometimes, all that's missing is the belief that things can be better.

I feel passionate about working with individuals who are longing to find or reconnect with a sense of Self. Somehow life isn't working; something's "off." Whether searching for identity while transitioning to independence; wanting to rediscover who we are after caring for others; riding the roller coaster of grieving a death, divorce or another major life event to surviving abusive and/or confusing relationship(s), we all experience pain and confusion at times. Counseling can help open awareness to new and healthier ways to respond to life's challenges and hopefully thrive.

A first meeting is typically done to get to know my client as the rapport between a client and therapist is the most important aspect of successful treatment. With extensive experience treating Veterans and their issues, I provide a straightforward approach that focuses on both your needs, as determined by diagnosis, and desire to live a better life.

As a therapist as well as a business consultant and coach, I work with individuals, couples, families and organizations. I work from a systemic orientation, which means that problems are embedded in a complex relational system rather than isolated in an individual. I will help you create healthier ways to be in relationship with others, whether it is your family, coworkers, collegues, and/or friends.

Email is the best way to reach me. Counseling is an opportunity for personal exploration, growth and self-discovery. It is often sought when life challenges arise, when our ability to cope with daily life is compromised, or when relationships begin to suffer. Counseling is a journey that may involve some discomfort as you seek to understand and challenge your most inner thoughts and beliefs. Engagement in counseling is designed to bring about changes to your life's perspectives and consequently the decisions you make as well as the behaviors you elicit.

Ms. Benson specializes in helping her clients achieve understanding and mastery over their issues in a professional, comfortable and caring atmosphere.

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.
