Are you feeling anxious? Depressed? Coping with traumatic memories or experiences? You’re not alone. Nearly half of all Americans will experience a mental health disorder in their lifetimes, and recent studies have shown an overall increase in symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma. Despite this high prevalence, fewer than 50% of people who experienced mental health symptoms in the past year received professional treatment. It doesn’t have to be this way. You can start your journey to recovery, and I want to help.

Are you mourning the person you could have been or thought you were going to be? Is one of the hardest parts of your day waking up into the reality of the body you are in? Chronic illness is nearly always accompanied by depression and I imagine the need to constantly remain one step ahead of your illness has left you fearful and exhausted. I am sorry you are experiencing this. I would love to be a safe space for you to feel truly heard, a place where you don't have to hide the pain with a smile, somewhere you can give a voice to the powerful grief you carry.

Are you having trouble releasing yourself from unhealthy habits? Are you frightened because your significant relationship is falling into conflict and pain? Are you plagued with overwhelming negative moods? Are negative thoughts swirling out of control? I find that, most of the time, healthy, change-producing, self-curing experiences are available in our everyday lives. But sometimes people just can't seem to make these things work for them. Their behavior and goals become increasingly out-of-sync, leading to painful "stuckness". That's when therapy is a good choice!

We are here and now; but is your past a healthy part of it? The past can be a time of learning and moving forward, or it can be a red light in our lives and freeze us in that moment of time. It can paralyze us. Or, it can have us living in a world of caution lights where we fearfully drift through them, unaware of the present or future, or vigilantly white knuckling our way, just existing and just “getting through” each day. How we come to terms with the past, forgiving our mistakes and others’ faults can catapult us into a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

Shame, embarrassment, fear. Maybe you've felt these things when you think about sex. Maybe you've tried to talk about sex with your partner(s) or friends, but their responses made you feel weird and awkward - like you said or did something terrible. Maybe you've started to feel like there actually is something wrong with you and you'll never have a fulfilling relationship with your partner(s) because of your sexuality or differences. Ultimately, you just feel completely alone and misunderstood in your relationships. It doesn't have to be this way, and I can help you have difficult, but courageous conversations with your partner(s).

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.
