You’re probably here because you’re feeling overwhelmed or chaotic. You make lists and then lose track of them. You set alarms and then forget what they’re for. You overcommit and now are forced to either spread yourself too thin or tell several people you can’t follow through. It’s hard to see others succeed using conventional wisdom like, ”use a planner” while you continue to struggle. The key to creating a routine and balanced life is to understand how your neurodivergent brain works, learn to ride your waves, and use strategies that make the most sense for you - even if that means not following the conventional wisdom.

It can be frustrating to struggle with mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD. Ketamine therapy is a proven, safe, and effective treatment for conditions that have not responded to traditional treatment. Research has shown that IV ketamine therapy can provide up to a 90% success rate in patients with treatment-resistant depression. Ketamine works rapidly by restoring connections in the brain and facilitating new ones for consistent, long-term healing.

Have you said to yourself "IF" I make enough money, lose weight, etc., "THEN" I will be happy, content, or joyous, only to find that you are left feeling incomplete or unaccomplished? Have you gotten to a point in your life where the "if-then" statements you make to yourself have left you feeling unworthy and critical of yourself? Do you ever find yourself fixated on your worth as a person, parent, or loved one? Using an eclectic approach I work with clients to find their worth, ease their critical voice, and create a joyous life through self-acceptance.

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.
