You are exhausted. Physically and emotionally. Even though you are working so hard to do all the right things, you still end up feeling miserable and unfulfilled. Your days are spent going through a never-ending lists of tasks in your head and your nights are spent trying to escape and find some kind of relief. You long for moments of happiness, but when they come, you can't enjoy them because you know they won't last. You can't shake this nagging feeling that something bad will soon follow. You want to feel comfortable with yourself and your decisions. You want to believe that all this effort will lead to something good.

"I'm so overwhelmed." "I'm afraid this is the best my life will ever be." "Having fun takes too much energy." "No one cares about me." "I mess everything up." "Is life really supposed to feel this hard?" Are you struggling with negative self-talk such as above? Are you experiencing overwhelming stress that is taking over your life? Have you been through difficult or even traumatic experiences that are causing you to feel stuck or hopeless? Your past doesn't have to define your future. It is possible to experience a life that is fulfilling and positive.

I really enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I love helping others realize their strengths and focus on reaching their goals. I often approach therapy with the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools although I am able to incorporate other interventions as needed. Providing a warm and inviting environment where individuals can feel safe and comfortable is very important to me in treatment. Christian faith-based therapy is something else I provide when clients want to utilize their spirituality in their treatment.

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.
