Do you want to better understand the stories that shaped who you are? I am a cisgender, white woman living in Upstate New York, where I am constantly inspired by the natural landscape and the changing seasons. Before becoming a therapist, I spent a decade with storytelling nonprofit The Moth, where I helped people to understand themselves better and connect meaningfully to others through telling personal stories. That experience has greatly shaped my approach to mental health; I take strengths-based, narrative approach to therapy, affirming your natural ability to reflect on your past experiences so you can gain new insights.

Not feeling like yourself? Feeling stuck? Need someone to talk to? At some point in life, we all feel like that and is part of human nature. Going to a therapist when you're feeling overwhelmed should be as normal as going to the doctor when you a have the flu. For that reason, I think the most important aspect of the therapeutic process is creating a safe and non-judgmental place where you can focus on yourself and your wellbeing. I use a wholistic and eclectic approach focusing on you as a person, your strengths, and what you want to achieve with therapy. Are you ready to focus on yourself and your wellbeing?

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.
