Life is stressful, sometimes overwhelming. Having a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings is central to the healing process. I believe meaningful personal and emotional growth occurs when you feel understood and accepted. My goal is to empathetically listen, explore and collaborate with you on your journey towards healing.

Hello, I am so glad you are here. Let me pour you a cup of tea or coffee, and let’s talk. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Whether you are here for yourself or your child, you have already taken the first step to focus on your mental health. Many people see therapy as a one-sided, rigid conversation with little to no ability to see each other as real people. I can promise you that is not what I offer. Starting therapy can be a challenging and anxiety-inducing task; that is where I come in. Take a moment, maybe a deep breath, and reach out to me to see how I can help.

Life is full of stressors, and these stressors probably got more complicated by surrounding crisis like the pandemic. YOU are not the only one; you are not alone in this. Help is always there for those who seek it. You could have anxiety or you could have gone through traumatic experience, and going through grief. You could be struggling with substance use, or have unmet goals of yours. I hope that you know the real value of counseling therapy. Although it has been recognized as a treatment for those who truly need it, it is also the road to learn how to cope with the points and situations we struggle with during our daily lives.

When seeking help, we first need the safety and security of warmth and acceptance. In our vulnerability, we need our integrity and our pain validated and respected. We need an integration of healing that includes mind. body, and soul. Together, we set clear and achievable goals. In an atmosphere of mutual trust, there is the challenge and support, the laughter and the tears involved in struggling to reach the self-direction, independence, and the peace we seek. The skills developed to survive are the foundation on which healing is built. Individuals and families are meant to move beyond survival and claim their right to thrive.

These are very stressful times, and life can be so very hard with different challenges that we face over the years. Adults deserve a place where they feel welcomed to sort through their feelings, whether it be related to past trauma or current challenges. Families need a place to work through their struggles and not feel that they are alone in dealing with problems that can arise while raising children, to create healthy communication, and healing in their family. Children and teens may feel like coming to therapy means they are different, so its important that everyone who comes to therapy feels welcome and heard.

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.
