With 25+ years of experience and training, I believe I can help you. I treat adults and couples. While people are each unique in their own way, they bring to therapy similar issues, including: Anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, early childhood trauma, and a basic desire to understand themselves better. Understanding yourself better,and moving into your future with confidence, is an overarching focus in my therapeutic approach. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other therapeutic techniques to help my clients achieve their goals. I teach people how to quiet their brain and their bodies with meditation and breathing practices.

Let’s be real, looking for a therapist can be overwhelming. Lots of scrolling through profiles, reading countless bios, and not knowing where to start. And yet you still pursue it. To me, that shows an incredible amount of strength, resiliency, motivation, and a readiness for change. In my practice, I come from a collaborative, empathetic, humorous, and supportive approach, as I aim to listen and adapt to each individual’s or couple’s therapeutic goals.

So often we compromise our own needs to please someone else. We might have learned to do this as children to get along with our parents and family members. As we move into adulthood, this habit stays with us and can cause us to feel lonely, confused, not good enough, and a sense that something important is missing in our lives.

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.
