It's not easy to ask for help. Maybe you've shared your situation with close friends or family and received support and advice, but things aren't really getting better. Maybe you've been hesitant to seek out a therapist. The fact that you're here now is a demonstration of your commitment and dedication to your own personal growth and your relationships. Whether you're experiencing anxiety or depression, or you're looking for a relationship, healing from a relationship that's ended, or are in a relationship you want to strengthen or repair, you're in the right place.

If you are felling burdened by life's challenges, choices, past trauma, or struggling with symptoms of mental health diagnoses, NOW is the time to have someone who is on your side, which means that sometimes you WILL be challenged, and sometimes you WILL be affirmed and your situations will be normalized. A lot of the times, though, this means that we will sit in those areas in between, which are often times messy, confusing, unsettling, and uncomfortable. You will have me with you, so you do not have to struggle through it all alone. We will embark on this journey hand in hand.

My clients come from diverse backgrounds, cultures, lifestyles, values, and beliefs. When they walk into counseling, they have found themselves in a place where they feel stuck in life, whether it be from depression, anxiety, addiction, past trauma, or a breakdown in relationships. As a counselor, it is my privilege to walk with them through these “stuck moments” and begin discovering those places of healing, growth, reconciliation, confidence, and trust.

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.
