(Telehealth appointments, at this time). What worries you about your child? Is your child easily angered, irritable, argumentative, has peer related conflicts and lacks interest in activities that were previously enjoyed? Do they lack motivation and/or have a Learning Disability that has impacted their self-esteem? Does your child have difficulty sleeping, complains of headaches and stomachaches that have no underlying medical cause? Are you struggling with life's challenges? Do you feel out of sorts and need help in restructuring your life's path?

I help women and men overcome anxiety, depression, loss, and relational difficulties. I specialize in empowering women by developing their self-worth and confidence through individual therapy, group therapy, and specialized retreats. My approach is an integration of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral modalities, which means I will explore the way you experienced the world from birth until present in order to identify habits and behaviors that have become roadblocks to living in alignment with the person you want to be. I utilize LifeMaps, a collaborative treatment plan where you can track progress and see your therapy notes.

Are you or your adolescent looking for the strength and courage to address difficult life situations? Do you not know where to begin? I know it can be difficult to ask for help. However, once that first step is taken with the right therapist, who appreciates and respects you as an individual, positive attainment of your goals can be achieved. I approach my work as a therapist with empathy, acceptance, compassion, and mutual respect. When working with adolescents I make it a requirement to involve the parents and provide them with frequent updates on their child.

Psychotherapy is a tool to help individuals further develop their emotional lives. I believe that by verbalizing thoughts, feelings, and experiences in an open, nonjudgmental environment individuals can gain insight and emotional growth often leading to a reduction in anxiety, sadness and relationship discord

My practice, although eclectic, is deeply rooted in a family systems approach incorporating the exploration of the individual's roles and behaviors from both the past and present that influence various current and/or repetitive unwanted behaviors. My belief in working through the therapeutic process, by implementing a systems modality, is to work with clients to help them in the process of change for a more positive, productive and healthier life. I treat families, couples, individuals, children and groups as needed in a compassionate and caring environment to address many of the aforementioned issues.

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.
