If You are going through a difficult situation in your life, a transitional moment in your life career, or even in your personal life, I can help you deal with these situations. Often what we need most is someone to help us better understand the possibilities of choices that we have in front of You. Stress, physical and mental fatigue, discouragement, can often be just symptoms of the difficulties that arise in our lives that we are not able to resolve.

Do you wake up each morning feeling excited and enthusiastic about the day ahead? Or do you find yourself feeling depressed, uninspired, anxious or just unfulfilled? Are you suffering from long-term Narcissistic abuse? Our life experiences influence us, and some of these lead to inaccurate, limited beliefs about ourselves. Once you learn to identify and understand these beliefs, life changes. The path to happiness and wholeness involves knowing your true self, transcending your perspective, and embracing your highest potential and purpose. When you change your mind, you change your state of being.

I get it, asking for help can be one of the most scary things you do. It is normal to think: “Do I really need help? Will I just be misunderstood and be told what to do?” When we are feeling at our worst, it is hard to imagine that people won’t run away if we lay our problems down on them. It doesn’t have to be like this forever. Feeling energized, in control and on top of your life is possible with the right support. Therapy is a journey of self discovery where you become more aware of the influences that shaped you, and how you can make better choices to live a more connected life.

I view the therapeutic process as a collaborative effort between the therapist, the individual, and the larger relational system. I work from a strengths-based perspective and believe that in every individual, couple, and family is the capacity for meaningful change and healing. I provide individualized care to each of my clients and carefully consider the context in which symptoms are experienced.

As a therapist, I feel it is most important for a client to feel heard, safe, cared for, and understood by the therapist they choose. I believe that when a client experiences this level of comfort with their therapist, that is when the most positive changes occur. I enjoy working with motivated clients who are seeking to make positive changes in their lives. I support my clients with patience, guidance, empathy, and understanding throughout each unique journey.

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.
