Waitlist for new clients
Finding a therapist can be overwhelming and sometimes downright intimidating. No matter if it's your first time and you have no idea what to expect or you are a seasoned veteran looking to get back in, what I strive to do is make the process as natural and easy as possible. I enjoy learning about you, teaching skills, and balancing validation with problem solving.

Life can be so challenging and exhausting, especially with all of the pressure society puts on us nowadays. Most of my clients experience some level of anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, and everyday stress. Despite having all the best intentions, we sometimes fall short and learning to accept that can be very difficult. My clients are tired of feeling stuck and are motivated to make changes to improve themselves, and their lives. Therapy is about taking it one step at a time and making slow progress with reliable support.

Fall 2024: I am anticipating a few open spots. Please inquire if you have a flexible schedule, and are comfortable with not having a set schedule as I would need to "schedule as we go" as the openings are not there/different on any given week. My approach to counseling is drawn from many different disciplines. I use empathic and deep listening to HEAR my clients. Of most importance to me is working with the client to achieve their goals within our counseling sessions- goals that we set together as we begin our work. I strive to meet the client "where they are" and move them forward to heal, change and grow in positive ways.

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.
