You may be feeling like anxiety is taking over—whether it shows up as constant worries, racing thoughts, or big emotions that feel hard to control. Maybe school has become stressful, friendships complicated, or transitions (like starting high school or college) overwhelming. Or maybe you’re a young adult trying to find your place—juggling school, work, relationships, and identity. You might feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what’s next.

Feelings can be tricky. Thoughts, relationships, responsibilities, society can be overwhelming. But whatever the issue you cannot escape your feelings; which is still uncomfortable for some. The good news is, you are not the sum of your feelings. And no feeling or thought makes you a good or bad person, just human. In fact, we are built to experience the full range of human emotions, though many of us are not taught or encouraged to reflect on our inner world leaving us with no idea what to do with all of these feelings. And it is often what we are doing or not doing about our feelings that can keep us from living our fullest lives.

You might look fine on the outside—capable, responsible, high-functioning—while privately feeling anxious, exhausted, or emotionally overwhelmed. Many adults I work with are professionals, caregivers, and high-achievers who've spent years pushing through stress, managing difficult experiences, or carrying unresolved grief. Over time, this leads to anxiety, PTSD, burnout, insomnia, or feeling disconnected. I specialize in trauma and PTSD (single-incident and complex), anxiety and chronic worry, prolonged grief, medical trauma and cancer-related stress, traumatic brain injury recovery, and chronic stress in high-demand roles.

I view therapy as a collaborative, client-centered process in which I help clients explore difficult emotions, ineffective behaviors, relationships, and work to increase greater self-compassion and understanding.

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.
