Challenged and stressed by recent events? Let's talk. Therapy provides a safe and non-judgmental environment that allows you to start creating space to face those challenges, allowing you to develop and thrive. Emotional numbing and avoidance allow us to avoid pain but also serve to keep us disconnected from happiness, resulting in shame and isolation. If you have been feeling like something is missing from your life, this may be the cause. Engagement in therapy can be the remedy that allows you to reach your goals and live your best life. Working together we can develop more effective coping skills to provide a happier life!

I primarily practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is a present-focused therapy with a wealth of research evidence demonstrating its positive effects on mood and anxiety. In therapy sessions, I work with clients to identify and challenge negative thoughts and behaviors that can maintain low mood and anxiety and to generate more accurate and helpful thoughts/behaviors. When relevant, I incorporate techniques from other empirically supported treatments, including Mindfulness-Based Interventions and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Are you feeling disconnected, on edge, or just not like yourself during pregnancy, postpartum, or the early years of motherhood? Many of my clients don’t realize how much depression and anxiety has taken a toll on them until it feels too overwhelming. They’ve been balancing the demands of parenthood, work, and life, often without recognizing how deeply their mental health is affected. If this sounds like you—constantly juggling but feeling more and more weighed down by emotions —then you don’t have to keep going through it alone.

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.
