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.

Hello, and thank you for taking the time and having the courage to seek out a counselor! To help you find your best fit, I work with adults, as individuals, couples, and groups. I work with people dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, grief/loss, suicide/self-harm, parenting, self-esteem, and abuse/neglect. While I specialize in Christian Counseling, I also work with many people who prefer not to incorporate their faith in the therapeutic process. My style tends to lean toward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helping people overcome self-defeating thought patterns. I’ve been in private practice for 20 years.

Women's issues I specialize in include balancing life changes such as infertility & postpartum needs, relationship changes, life transitions, anxiety & depression and more.
I want you to feel like the environment is warm, welcoming & non-judgmental. I understand the bravery & strength it takes to open up & want to work through challenges you're facing. I want you to leave sessions feeling heard and knowing that each session will be tailored to what you are needing in that moment. We can work on healing past trauma or focus on the present or future. Taking time to process how you are feeling and learning new skills can make a big difference in your life. Each therapist has something different to offer and finding the right fit can take time but I hope you take that first step and start this new journey.

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.

For 45 years, I have specialized in treating undiagnosed or untreated trauma, loss, grief, chronic illness, addictions and gender and or sexual fluidity. Most clients are externally 'highly functioning' in their day to day life. Their pain is hidden and invisible. I work to gently but directly guide us to discover self created barriers often outside our everyday awareness, to facilitate the process of identifying, acknowledging, grieving and letting go (over and over again!) of those things that interfere with creating a healthier, more contented and meaningful life.

As a therapist, I know that few things are as important to the process of therapy as the working relationship between the client and their therapist. This is why I approach every session and every client with empathy, warmth, and unconditional positive regard. I strive to create a therapeutic space that is safe and non-judgmental – where you are the expert of your own experience, where you feel validated at the intersection of your various identities, and where you feel understood as a whole person.

I know what it's like to feel lost, confused, and as though you're stuck at a crossroads with no directions. I also know how important connection and understanding are in those times. I believe the beauty of therapy is how it can disentangle the confusion, revealing profound change, empowerment, and freedom. I can work with individuals or couples encountering a variety of concerns. I am particularly experienced to help clients navigating through relationship issues such as codependency, boundaries, infidelity, mood disorders, and personality disorders. I am drawn to help women recovering from abusive relationships and trauma.

Women's Issues Therapists

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.
