I have been in the helping profession for over 25 years, working with a wide variety of clients across the life span. I approach clients with an open mind, encouraging them to set their goals and collaborate with me to resolve their problems and issues. I am solution-focused, asking, "what do you need to be the healthiest person you can be? How can I help?" Clients have told me they most appreciate that I listen, do not judge, and provide an empathetic ear. I find clients often have the answer to their issues, but they need help recognizing that answer. Yes, change is hard, but it can be accomplished with faith and work.

So, you're looking for a therapist.... This is one of the most courageous things you can do. It's difficult to look at some names and faces and a paragraph or two of words, and try to decide which of them will be able to help you. But this is an important relationship, so take your time and look for that "goodness-of-fit" that will enable you to find your comfort. My goal is to ask my clients the questions that will help them find their answers. I believe that no one knows you better than you know yourself; oftentimes, there is too much clutter in our lives which can interfere with our ability to see clearly.

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.
