Female Therapists in Chatham, NJ
People usually seek therapy during times of great stress, when their lives feel out of control, or when they are increasingly anxious or depressed, or when they feel stuck or dissatisfied, and are looking for change. My goal is to provide you a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere that will help you express yourself, explore and clarify your feelings, understand yourself and others, find options, and make changes in your life. I view psychotherapy as an active collaboration and seek to create a welcoming and comfortable base of strengthening support.

It has been my privilege for the last 30 years in assisting my clients in resolving a variety of challenges - anxiety, depression, unresolved grief, unresolved trauma (both childhood and adult), marital problems and divorce recovery. Often when faulty learning (i.e., Stinkin' Thinkin') results from traumatic events or unhealthy relationships, effective help requires applying psychological, social and spiritual resources.

When things aren't going well and don't seem to be getting better, when you feel alone and disconnected, stressed, not good enough, angry or ashamed, resentful, or have been deeply hurt, you naturally try to ease that discomfort, but not always in the most helpful ways. Often, problematic thought patterns and behaviors arise from natural coping mechanisms that helped you get through difficult times, but are no longer helpful and are in fact now causing greater harm. Navigating all of this can be hard and at times, overwhelming.

Therapy is successful when there is a good "fit" between client and therapist. The therapy "works" when the client feels that the therapist understands them and demonstrates the ability to help them improve their lives. With more than 25 years of experience with individuals,couples,families and groups, I offer an approach tailored to the uniqueness of each individual person and the issues unique to them.

I empower women to find a home within, fostering deep connections and self-belonging.
Women come to me when they want to break the pattern of unworthiness, to stop asking "Why me"? Some may find themselves caught in a pattern of choosing emotionally unavailable partners and experiencing a persistent sense that there must be more to life. Feeling adrift, the client struggles to find where they truly fit in or belong. Their needs revolve around seeking answers, understanding, and a profound sense of belonging. The goal is to guide them on a journey of self-discovery, helping them create a "home within their heart" where joy, purpose, and a genuine connection with themselves and others can be found.

Prioritizing your emotional and mental needs is empowering, but takes courage - often taking the first step is the most challenging part. While there is no 'one size fits all' when it comes to therapy, it's meaningful to feel heard and accepted when pursuing healing, development and personal growth.

When looking for someone to help you identify, assess and articulate your feelings, needs and goals, I can provide an empathetic, supportive and solution-oriented approach to you on your therapeutic journey. You are not alone!

At our core, we all seek to feel acceptance, love, and competence. When these basic needs are not being met in our life we often begin to feel lost, stuck, or alone. My compassionate, relationally informed practice allows me to join with you to understand what life looks and feels like through your lens. Together we will examine early attachments and relationships to discover learned core beliefs and how they impact the way you see yourself and relate to the world around you.

Do you feel lonely even though you are in a committed relationship? Does it seem like you and your partner speak different languages and live different realities? Do you have the same fights over and over again and nothing ever gets resolved? These feelings can be overwhelming and scary. I want to help you begin to change your relationship so it can be a source of nurturing and support instead of a cause of stress and anxiety. I work with individuals and couples using a flexible, collaborative and strengths-based approach to help my clients build connection, resolve conflicts, develop trust, and find happiness in their lives.

I have dedicated my career to helping clients optimize their lives, often in the face of complex and life-altering obstacles. I see life as a continuous journey of highs and lows, a constant flow of experiences that mold our perspective of both ourselves and the world. This perspective is particularly poignant when you or a loved is faced with a significant medical concern such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, multiple sclerosis, or infertility, just to name a few. The path through diagnosis, adjustment, and acceptance is long and winding, and therapy can be profoundly beneficial in helping you through these experiences.

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.
