“The process of living is like taking a very long road trip. The destination may be important, but the journey experienced day to day and week to week is what is invaluable.” -Steven C. Hayes I approach therapy with the assumption that every person is inherently good and doing their best given their current circumstances, resources and tools. My goals for therapy are not to “fix” a person but to empower them to live their fullest and most authentic life.

My approach to therapy is grounded in a deep, interdisciplinary understanding of the human experience. In my work with clients, we address underlying issues by using multiple areas and functions of the brain and nervous system. Rather than solely relying on thinking or talking your way out of anxiety, depression or trauma - our collaboration focuses on creating an environment to help rewire the brain and support real, lasting change.

I believe we all need a little extra support through major life transitions. Whether that is dealing with addiction, ending or beginning a relationship, transitioning to/from college, or stepping into a new phase with your children. Talking through your personal goals, creating a plan, and having the encouragement and support you need along the way. I practice in motivational interviewing style. So you will need to be prepared to do some deep thinking, reevaluating your priorities and being honest with yourself about what is holding you back.

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.
