Do these memories invoke some kind of negative belief about yourself that you know is not true? You might notice areas of your life are impacted in some way such as your level of self confidence and ability to manage everything at once. Do you desire to decrease the intensity of these memories, thoughts or experiences so they are no longer as intrusive and demanding of your attention?

As a counselor who values empowerment, trauma-informed healing, and overall mental wellness, I find that working with clients who have experienced sexual trauma, abuse, and post-partum depression can feel transformational.

I truly believe that I learn something new about the world and myself with every human that I work with. I hope to learn from you and honorably witness your healing experience through therapy.

Caring for yourself and others is a draining task. Not only do you spend your days investing in your loved ones, but you also struggle to make time for yourself. This is particularly the case at one's end of life or battle with sever illness. You find yourself not only exhausted, but struggling to think clearly, go to your job, and doubt your decisions. You feel alone and uncertain. In my 20 plus years as a mental health professional, over and over again I see adults looking for a respite from their current lifestyle.

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.
