Therapy opens a door to new awareness and growth as we give ourselves permission to understand our needs and feelings. It has been an honor for me to be a part of this process and to witness the courage, integrity and resiliency of the human spirit. Over the last several decades, I have worked with adolescents, adults, couples and families, helping them to identify the blind spots we sometimes have that block our inner truths. I have been privileged to guide this process by creating a safe space and facilitating the hard work of self exploration and self revelation that leads to improved self care.

Lasting change first requires understanding. At times, we all experience feeling "stuck" due to long-held beliefs, expectations and patterns of behavior. I provide support and guidance to help you identify where these "stuck" places have originated, so that you can move forward with greater self-awareness, compassion, and intentionality. Having trained to work with both children and adults, I offer a greater awareness of how early experiences have impacted people throughout their lifetimes, and how they continue to influence relationships, mood, and functioning into adulthood.

Difficult feelings can be a doorway for personal growth. Living in modern society with it's many stressors, it is easy to lose connection with what gives us fulfillment. Relationships may fall apart, anxiety may plague us more hours than not, or we may just feel " stuck" and not living up to our full potential. Therapy can help. Although taking the first step to enter therapy can be anxiety provoking, the inner rewards of the experience can be well worth it.

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.
