Gail's areas of expertise include: Anxiety, Addictions, Depression, Grief and Loss, Women's Issues, Negative Self-Talk, Anger Management, Mood Management, PTSD/trauma, and Weight Management.
I have been working in the mental health/substance abuse field for 40 years now. I have seen many trends in therapy come and go but have found the only thing that helps others is the technique that they can use on their own outside of the therapist's office. It is my mission to help others help themselves. My clients have found great benefit and healing in the very effective tools I use in therapy, such as EMDR, Emotional Freedom Techniques, Developmental Needs Meeting Strategies (DNMS), and my very own Thought Changing Exercise.

I became a therapist because the journey towards holistic health is worthy of recognition and support. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety and depression, relationship struggles, divorce and co-parenting, grief and loss, and religious trauma.

Everyone deserves a sense of control over their lives. When terrible things happen it can feel like the wind has been knocked out of you. The world feels unsafe. Feelings of deep sadness, fear, shame and a rawness seem to linger. Many people feel as though they are damaged goods and wonder if they will ever be themselves again, or if they will ever be happy again. Imagine what it will be like when you have more good days then bad, when you feel the laughter, when you hear your child start to sing again. In a relaxed, safe environment you will receive support, encouragement, and the skills you need to thrive not just survive.

Talking with a therapist in a safe, open, and respectful environment can help you to obtain a better understanding about the issues in your life that may be causing you to feel anxious, depressed, or hopeless. Sometimes these feelings are caused by a recent event such as getting fired, loss of a significant relationship, or death of a loved one, and other times the feelings are on-going and have been around for a while. Regardless if your issues are acute or chronic, everyone can benefit from being heard and treated with compassion.

I became a therapist to hold space for others as they navigate the twists and turns that come with life. I love working with children, teens, adults and couples and specialize in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), parenting transitions, miscarriage/infant loss, infertility, trauma, chronic illness/medical trauma, and LGBTQIA+ folks. I especially have a heart for working with new parents as they navigate bringing home a baby and with birthing persons to process the whirlwind of new parenthood.

I became a therapist because I believe in the power of healing and growth through our personal stories in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space. As a therapist, it is my goal to create a space where I can provide a compassionate and empathetic listening ear while my client navigates through their personal story. I believe that people are experts in their life and each person has their own strengths we can use to implement new strategies for change and growth. Everyone experiences stress, overwhelming emotions, and various forms of trauma throughout life.

Do you struggle to connect with your life in a meaningful way? Has life become messy and overwhelming in a way that you didn't expect? Does it seem like you spend all of your time and energy taking care of others and have lost your path to personal happiness? Maybe you are the parent of neurodiverse child, caretaker of an aging parent, or just have a million responsibilities between work, family, and community. Maybe you are trying to do it all and are your own worst critic. Sometimes life throws a lot at us, and things don't go as expected.

At some point during life's journey, most of us experience difficulties that would be easier to navigate with the support and guidance of a trained therapist. These difficulties may range from chronic, problematic behavioral patterns stemming from unresolved childhood issues or trauma, to difficulty coping with a current life situation or phase-of-life transition.

How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
