You may be carrying trauma, anxiety, or depression and simply wanting some relief, something that helps you feel centered again. Maybe you’re navigating a major life transition, or managing challenges like PTSD, OCD, or mood disorders, and you're hoping to feel more grounded and more like yourself. You might also feel exhausted from holding it together on your own, unsure where to start, but knowing something needs to change. Many people come to therapy seeking clarity, support, and a path forward that feels aligned with who they want to be.

Sometimes it's hard to manage conflict or communicate what you need, especially if you didn't have the best models of doing so growing up.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, scattered or caught in cycles of worry and self-doubt, you're not alone. ADHD and anxiety can make even simple tasks feel heavy, and many people end up feeling misunderstood or "too much". My goal is to offer a space where you feel seen, supported and genuinely understood.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, 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 because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

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 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.
