I am passionate about working with others who suffer from addiction and are seeking recovery or are in recovery and looking for greater transformation and psychological-spiritual integration. Are you looking for deeper meaning and healing in your life? Are you sometimes triggered by internal or external experiences and feeling like you have no control? Do you want to have more agency in your life, and are you interested in exploring your inner landscape and how you can journey towards transformation and wholeness?

I enjoy working with all different types of clients with a variety of issues. Typically, I work best with young to middle age adults. I do not have a gender preference. Many of the clients I work with have depression, trauma and/or anxiety but are not limited to these. I like working with clients that are open and honest in sessions. I, also, enjoy working clients that are willing to try new techniques and strategies. I like a client to be realistic about helping themselves. Productive therapy cannot be done in 2 sessions. Problems that a client has been dealing with for years will take some time to resolve.

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.
