I work with all gender clients, 13yrs and up. As men and women, young and old, we are multitaskers, we take care of others while neglecting ourselves. Self-care-self-love is foreign. Many self-medicate with food, alcohol, pills, shopping, social media, relationships, the list can go on. This creates a cycle of shame, remorse, and regret. We realize- I am not happy-how come? The people I work with are trying to answer that question. They are looking for someone else or something else to make them happy. An external fix/distraction to avoid feeling upset. And yet the outcome continues to be is anxiety, depression, substance abuse

Some of us were shaped by relationships and families where love came with conditions, where connection hurt, or where we had to trade our authenticity for survival. We may question where we belong, if love can exist without earning it, and whether our feelings are even valid. We’ve felt like a guest in our own story while carrying unseen grief. We may have adapted to sense danger others can't comprehend. Trust hasn't felt safe. Belonging hasn't felt simple. In the wake of complex trauma, we may find that we perform being “OK,” suppress our needs, and endlessly translate our world for others. This is exhausting and deeply lonely.

Start 2026 with an investment in yourself. What do you want to be experiencing? Most of us have been taught not to talk about sex and our bodies. We have been taught to be ashamed of our bodies and what we think about, fantasize about, and do sexually.  I believe that sexual expression is a healthy part of all of our lives. I enjoy working with folks on issues of desire, desire differences in relationships, healing from sexual trauma, sexual behavior that feels out of control, sexual self-esteem and body image, kinky and poly experiences, gender-related concerns and communication within relationships.

There are two major factors with making therapy beneficial - one is the client, and finding a therapist is a big step! The second is the therapeutic relationship, which is strengthened over time. I think therapy works best if someone is willing to allow me to join them in processing what's happening in their life, emotions, and stressors. By allowing me to sit with them, clients are working on strengthening that therapeutic relationship which makes therapy effective. I appreciate openness to different ideas and strategies, and clients can have short- or long-term needs.

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.
