If anybody asks, your life is great. But you know deep down it's chaos. You are exhausted, and you feel like giving in the towel. Life feels like it's a constant mess. Your relationship is falling apart. The family is a wreck. You're probably not satisfied in your job. Literally everything feels like it's a disaster. Luckily, it's not too late. There's still time to restore the pieces and get back to the person you want to be.

I practice therapy from the premise that our thinking patterns are generally what control our moods. If we want to feel better, we must think better. In order to help clients lead manageable, healthy lives, I teach methods by which to modify or replace problematic thinking, and I foster a supportive environment in which clients may grow within the framework of their own values and goals. If it bothers you, I believe it is worth talking about.

Therapy is not MAGIC. It is a complicated process that requires commitment and active participation to be effective. Therapy can be uncomfortable and “emotionally draining” when HARD discussions provoke painful memories. However, when an individual does “the work” of therapy by identifying and disrupting destructive thinking patterns, which leads to changes in behavior, real MAGIC happens. This power to become a better version of oneself is the “magic” possessed by us all; the therapist is simply one who assists in “tapping” into that power.

I exclusively offer telehealth services to provide flexible scheduling and a feeling of security and safety as you walk your path to healing and change from the comfort of your own environment.

The struggle to manage all of our roles can be intense. Trying to meet expectations, stay healthy, and manage the emotional burden of the past and can be exhausting and challenging every day. Our inner critic may determine our moods, and social media and social comparison can leave us feeling like we're just not enough. In addition, anxiety and depression often keep us stuck in fretting over the past, or worrying that we won't be able to keep it together in the future. When we realize that we need to address the worries or hurts that plague us, therapy can take a lot of the pressure off by healing old wounds and building self-worth.

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.
