I specialize in women's mental health.
Everyday you get up, you get dressed, and you try to pretend like you are okay. You show up for your partner, your kids, and your job, but inside you are questioning everything you do. Constantly you compare yourself to others and you wish that you could just feel good enough. There are things you want to do, but you can’t seem to make a decision and move forward. So you stay stuck and feel like a failure that you can’t be the best version of yourself. Women are particularly good at pushing themselves to do more, be more, and give more. It is hard to take care of yourself and create space to unpack your thoughts and emotions.

If any of this sounds familiar, you have probably tried many possible solutions to make things better. I believe the best path to your "better" lies with you. Often a validating, safe space for exploring thoughts/emotions and developing skills for coping and change is the missing piece to your puzzle.

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.
