“The past is just the past,” they say. You’ve tried to let it go, ignore it, bury it away, but it still seems to haunt you. Growing up you saw the fights, cleaned up the messes, felt the pain of hurtful words, and covered up so many cuts and bruises. You did what you had to do to survive and got out as fast as you could. You were determined that your life would be different. And for the most part it is. Unfortunately, the emotional remnants remain; anxiety, feeling like you’re “not enough,” the disconnect from others...You’re ready to finally shed these struggles, but you need some help getting from here to the life you want.

Do you ever wish you could truly be listened to and understood? I have felt the intensity of that longing and know the joy of having it answered. Because of my experience, I love connecting with people, building relationships, and hearing people's true hearts. It can feel scary to invite another person into our deepest places, but it can help us clarify who we are and allow us to experience healing within a safe relationship. This is why I love counseling. It is a joy to walk alongside people as they discover who they are made to be.

More than any other factor, it is the relationship between client and therapist that has been found to profoundly impact personal change. We are hurt, and healed within relationships. With this in mind, I take a relational approach to all my therapeutic work. I believe in honoring the individual needs of each client, ensuring they are known, seen, and heard. While also gently offering alternative to one’s longstanding views of self, others, and the world. I take a special interest in expanding the social and wellness supports of individuals outside the therapy room.

You're there, in the dark, struggling to find a way out. You're trying to just get through today. At times, even breathing seems to be too much. Life is so exhausting. Some days it takes everything you can muster just to get through the next minute. The people around you, your friends, your family, if they are still there, don’t get you. If you hear “just get over it” or “think about happy things” one more time you’ll scream. Why don’t they get it? This isn’t something you “just get over”! Like you would pick this life if you had a choice? There’s only the darkness, full of loneliness, worry, hopelessness, and despair.

I believe everything happens for a reason. My goal is to provide a compassionate counseling experience. From there, we can work together to adapt to the challenges caused by life events, difficult relationship dynamics, or personal struggles. I strive to create a supportive environment where clients can explore both the internal, as well as the external issues in their life and emerge resilient.

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.
