As a psychologist at Pewter Therapy Services, I am passionate about helping queer college students and young professionals learn how to process narratives about themselves, the emotions that make them feel “out of control” or “completely disconnected”, barriers to fulfilling relationships and good communication, and their relationship with real rest and self-care. Together, we unpack messages rooted in family dynamics, identity messages, and larger societal narratives adding to the distress that’s been weighing you down. This approach contributes to my specialization in anxiety, depression, trauma, and LGBTQIA+ affirmative care.

Life is a beautiful gift, rich with a wide range of experiences. Part of being human means moving through different seasons and emotional states. Sadness is just as natural as happiness; excitement is just as valid as fear. We are meant to feel our feelings—fully and without shame. Have you been feeling stuck after a life event? Overwhelmed by daily responsibilities? Or sensing it’s time to turn inward and face things you’ve been putting off? If so, you’re not alone—and it may be the right moment to begin that inner work. I bring extensive training and experience in working with individuals with ADHD—both children and adults.

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.
