Grief. Medical Illness. Anxiety. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore, understand, and cope with these common, but difficult, parts of life. Psychotherapy can improve awareness and understanding of emotional symptoms; it can also increase coping skills and solution-focused problem-solving. I believe in helping people attain these goals and improve the overall quality of their lives through a collaborative, genuine, and respectful therapeutic relationship.

I take pride in not being a “robotic” therapist. I personally believe being asked question after question will ultimately shut down a client and possibly worsen their anxiety about therapy or in general. I am able to effectively work on all issues while creating a comfortable and laid back environment for all my clients where they do not feel pressured. However, I will appropriately challenge you if I am observing oppositional tendencies, which are hurting your treatment goals; do not be nervous about being challenged, change and improvement require being challenged and getting out of your comfort zone!

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.
