I have assisted many clients in gaining insight into the issues that they are struggling with and healthier options that work for them. No client is the same as the next. We are all unique and take different paths in life and deserve a space to be heard. Clients struggle to connect with emotions, processing and regulating their emotions and struggle with finding positive solutions. Sometimes in life we don't know exactly what we want or which way to turn. I give my clients the space to learn about themselves and grow. I am compassionate, attentive and work with my clients to find the positive attributes in their lives.

The center of my practice is compassion for ourselves, for our messy lives, for our mistakes and challenges. I am a spiritual guide with a specialty in women's issues focusing my work on relieving anxiety, trauma (including religious trauma), living with grief and illness, and riding the waves of bipolar disorder, successfully living with our challenges, no longer allowing them to define us. Instead, we can use many methods to shift our minds and change our lives to live freely and peacefully. At times mediumship or energy guidance may be useful to therapy, yet only when a client is comfortable with these paths to healing.

Congratulations! The decision to seek out support is not always easy and I commend you for making it this far. Though following through can be scary, it is the first step toward accomplishing your personal goals, whatever they may be: Have you already been diagnosed and want to develop new coping skills? Experienced a loss or trauma? Have you not been feeling your best and hope to figure out how to make changes? Or, are you simply looking for a safe place to vent? No matter what events or emotions have led you to this point, I welcome the opportunity to guide you through the ups and downs of this process.

Mental health is a big deal. For injuries or illness, like a broken bone or the flu, we don’t think twice about visiting our doctor for treatment. But often times, mental well-being gets pushed aside, saying “It’s not a big deal” or “I can handle this myself.” If it is bothering you, then it is a big deal. I can offer you an honest approach to changing your ways of thinking and behaviors to help you conquer and cope with important issues such as anxiety, depression, family problems, child and adolescent behavioral issues, and many more to help you feel whole again, to find your calm again, and to help build your confidence again.

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.
