People often struggle with issues during their lifetimes. Some are persistent, others are for a season. Sometimes we feel stuck, bored, or trapped in cycles of living and thinking. Sometimes life throws something unexpected at us, and we need a helper to find our way through. How we view the challenge, our thinking regarding it, and what we choose to believe about it impacts our ability to approach solutions, actions or resolutions. Mindful introspection, understanding what we tell ourselves, and believe about these issues can help to re-write our solutions to the challenges life can bring.

This method changes the way in which distressing images and memories are stored in the brain so they no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions. I have been certified in Advanced and Enhanced ART. If you are looking to feel better quickly, please contact me. This type of therapy can help a wide range of problems including phobias, anxiety, PTSD, depression, panic attacks, sugar addiction and even physical problems like head aches.

Assisting people with really listening to themselves is what I seem to do. There is a process of softening self judgment, harsh criticism and self-doubt to reveal the kind of relationship with ourselves we only dreamed of having.

Are you a teenage or adult woman struggling with anxiety, panic, the impact of trauma or chronic stress and feel like traditional talk therapy hasn't worked for you? Do you need practical tools to help you manage overwhelming emotions and take back control of your life? I get it, I've been there too. Some of the symptoms my clients (and myself) have experienced are excessive worry, difficulty calming down or finding safety in their body, difficulty regulating their emotions, difficulty identifying and expressing needs / boundaries and burnout from people pleasing / care-taking.

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.
