I have found my niche – my ideal client and that is you. You - who have a secret that you dare not reveal to even those closest to you. You - who feel stuck in a career and a life not of your own choosing. You - who, after years of marriage and raising children, find yourself quiet and alone. You - who knows that there is a hell because you attend it every day, but you call it school. If you are experiencing trauma, conflicts, difficult life challenges alone and isolated, I celebrate your determination to discover and develop a way of living more satisfying and fulfilling.

Sometimes we crave relief and want to reach out to start exploring what is bothering us. Then feelings of potential judgement or being unsure of the purpose of therapy can creep in and steer us away from initiating the healing process. I place no pressure on those working with me. I follow your lead and always ask permission before asking a question that could bring discomfort. We move together at a pace of your comfort. The inital phase of sessions will be dedicated to listening to your story.

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.
