Through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) I help clients to identify how their thoughts and attitudes impact their behaviors and feelings. As we work through identifying those thoughts, we focus on building up coping skills and new techniques that can help them to sustain the changes they work on, while focusing on achieving their overall goals.

You thought you would be beyond this by now. But the memories still haunt you. You feel stuck in the fear, anger, and sadness that have had a grip on your life for too long. Each morning you wake up worried about when the next shoe will drop and each evening you get into bed only to lie awake, mind racing with reminders of what has happened. All you want is break from the thoughts and memories and maybe to begin to rewrite your story.

To rewrite their narrative, transform their existence, and inspire change for themselves, families, and the community. It's about embracing identity, unlocking potential, and channeling creativity for profound personal growth.

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.
