Many parents and caregivers don’t like to say this out loud, but some of the ongoing behavioral issues you face with your child make it hard to like them. You love them dearly, but when your child repeatedly has tantrums, trouble listening, or following directions, it’s difficult to maintain a strong connection with them. You need a judgment-free zone where you can learn effective techniques for managing your child’s behavior and strengthening your relationship with them. Parent-Child Interactive Training may be perfect for you. With nearly 20 years of clinical experience working with youth, I'd love to help you turn things around.

I am very passionate about providing clients the ability to speak their truth in a non-judgemental environment. Many times in life, a person's concerns are unheard, not valued, or not addressed which can cause frustration, distress, unhappiness, and hopelessness. What I hope to offer you is, not only a listening ear, but also someone to collaborate with you on your journey to wellness and happiness, whatever that looks like for you. I encourage clients to help me help them find the light at the end of the tunnel and see the rainbow after the rain.

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.
