My interest is working with
women
, BIPOC, Queer, activist folk & caretaker professionals via individual & group therapy. My ideal client is tired of being tired, ready to begin a healing journey, willing to use the insight and skills gained in therapy and take healthy risks outside of therapy to close the loop in the cycle of change, can tolerate being kindly challenged when they are sabotaging their own therapeutic goals and life-affirming values, and understands that ambivalence doesn’t mean they’re not ready. It simply means that they have parts of themselves that feel vulnerable and are protective of those vulnerabilities.

women
in need of redemption and second chances. I have been working for over 4 years with
women

I have experience running group therapy and doing individual treatment planning for those working through various mental health disorders anything from bipolar I to major depressive disorder.

If you’re a human being on this planet, odds are you’ve been through things that have left a lasting negative impact on your mental health. You've also likely experienced feelings of shame when it comes to your sexuality that you never asked for. While you may have been told that you’re broken, that your sexuality is something to be ashamed of, or you’re just "bad" at relationships; my goal is to help you re-write those narratives that hold you back from having the life you want. Whether you're experiencing mental health concerns, sexual related concerns, or you're just feeling "stuck" in life, we can work through it together.

Parenting, especially during this pandemic, can be exhausting, frustrating, and extremely difficult. Sometimes it feels like a thankless job that you cannot quit. Having a child who does not listen to you, screams for hours or acts up at school can be embarrassing and disappointing. Seeing your loving child change into a moody teen who stays in their room and refuses to interact with you can feel like you are living with a stranger.

For many clients, achieving their goals means increasing their capacity for acceptance of themselves and others, empathy and understanding of others, and being able to manage and share their emotions. I believe that a positive outcome of a successful counseling relationship is much more than the absence of symptoms or illness. Rather, it's the sustained ability to enthusiastically engage in all aspects of life: relationships, marriage and family, work, friends, and community.

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.
