Some days it can seem almost impossible to get out of bed. Stress about a job, deep depression, or a dysfunctional family can affect a person’s overall state of mind. It is at times like this that I can help. People have an innate desire to be well and a strength to make it happen, but they may not know how to unlock this strength. It is my desire to help them do just that.

A good life begins on the inside. I believe effective psychotherapy provides a collaborative relationship involving caring support, humor, and spontaneity. It enhances self-awareness and self-esteem, aids in improved interpersonal relationships, increases coping skills, and provides understanding of emotional patterns. The challenges that draw you to therapy are an invitation to heal and are the beginning of new possibilities for your life and your relationships. My goal as your therapist is to provide you with tools and perspectives, empowering you to transform your life so that you can emerge a stronger, healthier person.

You're likely sifting through therapist profiles because you feel lost, hopeless, or stuck – wanting to make a change or feel different, but not sure about how to do that, where to start, or if the kind of change you quietly wish for is possible. Maybe you are isolated and want someone to help you through an unexpected situation, or perhaps you've got a lot of support already, but want the perspective of someone who's separate from your life. It takes a lot of strength to honestly acknowledge your struggles and decide to turn inward to find a way out of them. I am honored to walk with you at whatever point you're at on this journey.

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.
