I realize that considering therapy may provoke all sorts of assumptions about the process. Reaching out can feel intimidating and you may put it off. I will provide you with an emotionally safe environment where you and I will explore your reasons for contacting me. You may be feeling sad most days or have experienced anxiety attacks that are preventing you from experiencing your best life. I understand the difficulties of trying to feel put together. We will explore the versions of what may be preventing you from experiencing inner peace while encouraging the emergence of your true self.

Have you ever woken up and thought to yourself, "I can’t keep doing this,” only to find yourself doing the precise thing you swore off hours before? There comes a time when assistance is required to cope and overcome many of life's obstacles. I work with individuals to support them in recovering from addiction, changing bad habits, improving relationships, and overcoming life challenges. I tailor my methods to the individual, as each person presents with a unique personality and has different circumstances. I believe in fostering a deeply caring, non-judgmental atmosphere where you can feel heard and supported.

My ideal client would be one who is willing to put in the effort it takes to achieve a healthy and happy mental status. Not every population I see has this mindset. I believe that by building trust and rapport as well as by the client seeing their own progress, the motivation to reach their personal goals will increase. I have worked with patients as young as 2 and as old as 72 with varying issues. Although I am trained to work with most populations and feel comfortable doing so, my specialty lies with those suffering from anxiety.

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.
