Everyone has a story as well as a perspective about their issues. I consider it important not only to listen to what a person says, but does not say.

I specialize in providing therapy services to women who are pregnant, postpartum, or further along in their motherhood journey.
Being pregnant and having a baby can be a time of great joy and excitement. It can also be a time where other emotions come to the surface - sadness, overwhelm, anxiety, depression, and rage. This is more common than we may think as 1 in 5 women will experience a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder. Motherhood was not meant to be lived and experienced on your own. Having someone who understands as a mother and therapist can help you to feel like yourself again.

So often we walk through our days feeling disconnected from ourselves, our loved ones and our purpose. Your pain is real and present keeping you in a place that you would rather not be. This internal space can interfere in your personal, social and work life leaving you feeling even more alone. I know that struggle. Maybe this uneasy feeling began early in life, after a traumatic event or because of past relationships. Whatever the case, you can find your way. Things can be very challenging and there is no need to go at it alone. Let's talk about it.

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.
