Are you exhausted by traditional talk therapy? Does it seem like you are retelling the same story over and over? Does it feel like you are stuck & as if you are not making progress? While talk therapy can be helpful when it comes to trauma there are parts of our brain that simply cannot be accessed by talking alone. You deserve to experience healing faster, to spend less time talking about the problems, & to enjoy more time living a life driven by your values not your fears.

Counseling is much more than problem solving. It's an opportunity to acknowledge your strengths and build on them to help prepare for life's challenges, big and small. I believe that first and foremost, successful counseling is built on trust and connection. Many people who struggle are reluctant to reach out. If you are seeking help you've taken an important first step.

My approach to counseling is to join you on your path of discovery, healing, and growth, and to honor and help uncover your internal wisdom. I will invite you to listen to your body, to learn its language, and to track your nervous system in order to gain more of a sense of what it is you need to feel safe. I offer education on the functioning of the stress/threat response, so that we can remove shame from the way we see obstacles, and instead learn from our innate drive towards survival and expand our capacity to tolerate feelings, both the lows and the highs.

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.
