Ask most kids, and they will straight out say most adults are clueless about how hard it is to deal with the problems they face. If as a parent, you feel like the sweet loving child you have raised has been abducted by "aliens" and your attempts to reach them have been unsuccessful-you're not alone. As a therapist, my focus is on listening to, entering and understanding the private world of young clients and adults. I utilize innovative, interactive and focused-based therapeutic approaches to help support, guide and coach the necessary life skills needed to meet their unique challenges.

You woke up one day and realized that this was not the life you wanted or expected. Depression, anxiety, Postpartum Mood Disorders or other issues have left you feeling wrung out, stressed and useless. You don't do anything that takes real effort or makes you vulnerable in any way. Your relationships aren't fulfilling. You feel like you need a time out from life and so fill your free time with the internet or TV. You compare yourself to the pretty lives shown online and wonder 'why not me?'. You just want to stop feeling this way-- and fast.

Life can be overwhelming. Whether you are 3, 33, or 103, you may not feel you have the capacity to cope with what comes at you. Often, people who come to me have had events in their life that cause them distress, such as trauma, abuse and neglect. With kids, this can look like behavior changes or challenges. My role is to provide support as you work through the challenges and help you achieve your goals.

Are you an expert at covering up your deepest feelings so much that those closest to you are unaware you are struggling? Is it hard for you to let people in emotionally, out of fear? Does this sometimes manifest in shame, irritability, miscommunication, anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, and inauthenticity? It rarely feels like the “right time” to navigate our most vulnerable feelings, until we start.

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.
