My commitment is to assist clients in navigating this path, fostering positive transformations through informed decision-making. Focused in guiding individuals through transitions and adjustments—be it in substance use, anger-management, self-esteem, career, relationships, or family planning. Collaboratively with clients, sessions are typically dedicated to goal setting, development and practicing of communication skills, boundaries and emotional regulation. In my work with children and adolescents, I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where they can explore their emotions, thoughts, and experiences.

Therapy does not have to be for times of crisis. Our personal life can often be challenging and stressful. It can be helpful to talk to someone to process these issues and make more sense of our thoughts. I will help walk you through this, in a positive and non-judgmental way and at a pace that is comfortable to you.

The last couple of years have left us feeling isolated, lonely and definitely confused! Plans and goals were derailed leaving some of us to wonder how things will change... I call this the "worried-well". This is a way that functioning individuals focus on the negative, despite success in everyday life. But there is a way out of this and into a more positive, life-embracing mindset!

When we face serious issues we may shut-down, shame or over blame ourselves/others for the problem. Absence of healthy coping skills/emotional balance can lead to an unhappy walk through life. Therapy allows the opportunity for growth to understand personal thoughts, feelings and behavior. Together, we can re-discover healthy control, coping skills, peace, hope, and emotional balance. Perhaps for the first time, you will love, trust and feel comfortable within your own skin. I like to look at change through a developmental lens where we have the courage to break unhealthy habits and replace them with more effective skills.

My ideal client is someone who understands the areas of their life that need improvement. They have an idea of potential treatment goals for therapy and is open to the process. Additionally, they believe there are many ways to address previous traumas and can identify preferences for treatment. For example, a client who is open to incorporating journaling, meditation, or other holistic practices in addition to traditional talk therapy. My ideal client intentionally commits to the therapeutic process and is open to collaboration in the therapeutic space.

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.
