Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the life you want? My ideal client is someone navigating anxiety, depression, or life transitions—whether it’s coming out, gender identity exploration, relationship shifts, or new stages of personal growth. Many of my clients seek a non-judgmental, affirming space where they can process challenges and develop coping skills to feel more at peace with themselves. They want to feel empowered, find clarity, and build a stronger sense of self, especially when dealing with societal pressures or personal doubts.

During stressful times, it's easy to lose your bearings and feel at sea. While family or friends can offer support, sometimes you need a different kind of help. That's when working with a therapist can make a difference. For close to two decades, I've been helping people restore hope and get back to feeling like themselves again.

I have often likened trauma to a thief, and trauma therapy to a Robin-Hood like act of stealing back, a reclaiming of what should have never been taken. In my decade plus as a trauma therapist, I have been privileged to accompany my clients as a partner and sometimes guide in these acts of reclaiming, and have had the joy of witnessing the profound healing that can arise from courageous confrontations with the truth. My aim is to help clients to hold themselves with more self-compassion, to stop being caught in cycles of reliving past memories and adaptation patterns, and to shift out of survival mode into present moment aliveness.

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.
