At some point in life, everyone experiences problems in daily living and can use an objective, experienced therapist to help them become aware and create positive change. In my 20+ years as a licensed therapist, art therapist and licensed school psychologist, I have worked with individuals and couples from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, sexual orientation and ethnicities with problems ranging from difficulty in functioning to adjustments in living. My conceptualizations of challenges are generally relational and psychodynamic, but my approach may also incorporate mindfulness or systems theories. Additionally, I do psychoeducational evaluations for children and adults with suspected learning and social/emotional disorders.

Psychoanalysis and analytic psychotherapy are relationship-based treatment models. Reasons for seeking treatment, such as depression and anxiety, are as unique to individuals as are their relationships, thoughts, feelings, and perceptions. Finding out for one's self what constitutes a good therapeutic relationship develops over time along with insight and transformation. There is no replacement for personal experience where mental health is concerned. In the words of Wilfred Bion, "You are the most important person you are ever likely to meet. Therefore it is of no small importance that you get on well with this important person."

Life is full of emotions, sometimes its joy but sometimes its a sense of struggling and pain. Anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and relationship/marital problems can all add to this sense of struggling. Especially, when we aren't well equipped to withstand it. Sometimes that struggle feels like this heavy cloud or mask we walk around with. Sometimes that struggle isolates us and causes us to become disconnected from ourselves or our loved ones. Playing tug of war with that struggle only makes it more draining.

In my experience that individuals reach out for therapy because their present circumstance is difficult and they would like their present and future to be better or different. I use a person centered approach to help individuals gain greater awareness into their patterns and beliefs with the goal of creating a life grounded in wholeness, self compassion and self understanding. I have a depth of knowledge in trauma symptomatology, treatment and healing gleaned from years working with survivors of childhood and adult abuse. I also have experience with young adults pursuing educational/life goals and coping with these challenges.

We all experience death and loss in this life. And when we experience loss, grief is the natural, human response to profound change. You may be grieving the death of a beloved partner, family member, friend or cherished pet. Perhaps you are experiencing the loss of a relationship, a separation from an important community or feeling burnt out from political organizing. You may be grieving alongside someone you love who has lost a parent or partner. You are not alone. All griefs are connected.

I am a clinical social worker continuing my work with adolescents through private practice after 13 years as a middle school social worker. I specialize in the exploration of self (specifically in gender and sexuality), creation of autonomy, and identification and achievement of goals. I believe deeply in the healing power of connection and, especially for adolescents, in the magnitude of feeling seen and heard. I come to my therapeutic practice with a relational and solution-focused lens. I believe that every child has within themself everything they need to be successful and to feel good; it is my job to help them find it.

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.
