You lay in bed at night wondering if your partner will ever see your pain. You feel alone, unimportant, unappreciated. You do not feel the love you once felt. Now it feels like you are just roommates. You try to talk with your partner about what is bothering you. But your partner either misses your pain or it turns into an argument. The two of you just end up further apart and more alone. You know you cannot do this anymore. The pain is too much.

Are you ready to really live your life and not merely exist? You have within yourself the power to overcome any difficulties. Many of our obstacles, environmental, past experiences, biological dysfunctions, and worries about the future rob us from fully living and enjoying our lives. And the way we view them might keep us stuck and unfulfilled. I can help you notice those external and/or internal factors, identify patterns of thought and behavior, help you neutralize them, and encourage positive change and growth.

Is life harder for you than it needs to be? Have you tried unsuccessfully to overcome past hurts and losses? Does something seem to be stopping you from accomplishing all you want in life? Often, no matter how hard you try, it is difficult to overcome challenges on your own. Despite your best efforts, past disruptions can impact your current relationships and interfere with your spirituality as well. If you're looking for someone to help you increase the peace and joy in your life and reclaim the freedom and spontaneity that is rightfully yours I invite you to call me.

The Infidelity and Women's Therapist. Therapy can be different from what you've experienced before. Faced with the fear of divorce? I have been there, conquered those fears and have come out soaring on the other side. Sometimes the best thing for a relationship is for it to end and sometimes it just needs some tweaking for it to be exactly the way you hoped it would be. It can be hard to know for sure if the relationship is too far gone, if it can be saved, or if you even want the relationship. We can work together to make sense of your experience.

You're feeling overwhelmed, withdrawn, distracted, anxious or depressed. Others may think you’re just hormonal or stressed out. Until now, you may have been able to manage it on your own, but it’s starting to affect other areas of your life. You don’t understand why things are so overwhelming and your motivation is tanking. If you’re a parent, your teen may be dealing with school stress, pressure, and a constant feeling of inferiority. You're worried they are quickly spiraling into anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. I can help.

"I just want my child to be their normal self again". That is what I often hear at the beginning of therapy. It is very difficult to know how to handle changes like anger, acting out, sadness, or keeping to themselves. These problems affect the child and everyone else involved in their daily lives. I will tailor therapy to meet you and/or your child's specific needs, and work towards getting "back to normal" (or improving on what normal has been).

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.
