Family and relationships are an integral part of an individual's ability to be happy, and healthy. I believe that all individuals can benefit from the unique relationship that is built between the therapist and client. Individual's who have difficulty with mental health problems are particularly appropriate for treatment. I have more than 11 years experience working with children with severe behavioral and attachment difficulties, and the family's/friends who love them. The parent/partner relationship is a particularly special relationship that requires support, attention, and caring reflection. I am calm and supportive.

Taking the first step to seek out a therapist can be overwhelming and in fact pretty scary. ARE you looking for a supportive environment in order to achieve a sense of wellness and the strength to move forward living life? Are you feeling depressed, angry all the time, stuck or loss in transitions of life, have experienced a death OR a divorce and ready to start working on you? I have experience working with depression, anxiety, grief and loss and with individuals that abuse substances and gambling.

You may not have considered therapy before because openly discussing personal struggles might not align with the customs of your life or culture. However, if you find yourself experiencing symptoms such as persistent low energy, difficulty concentrating, or feelings of irritability, tension, or restlessness—it's essential to recognize that you're not alone. While these experiences are common, it's equally important to acknowledge that hope and assistance are readily available. If starting therapy is making you feel overwhelmed by fear, shame, or uncertainty, rest assured that you don't have to navigate these emotions alone.

Are you stuck in a vicious cycle of little to no motivation, low self-esteem, and unfulfilled goals? Has that cycle led to increased anxiety and depression? Whether you find yourself at this point due to traumatic childhood experiences or another reason, one thing’s very clear: pushing through doesn’t work anymore. You can’t control your emotions. The crying spells and angry outbursts are affecting your work and personal life. What do you do? You need to get to the cause of the pain and then work through it. There are many ways to overcome your challenges, but therapy is usually the quickest, most effective, and safest way to do it.

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.
