I am passionate about helping others to live their best life and specialize in working with adults who are experiencing challenging life transitions, such as: divorce, loss, career change, caregiving, empty-nest, etc. I believe we all could use more time spent in contemplation and conversation about how to move past our psychological limitations. By learning to shed what has held us back in the past we become free to reinvent and redefine ourselves in the present. I see my clients as the expert of their life experience and myself a guide to find the answers they hold within.

Have you been feeling more stuck lately? Feeling like you have an idea of where you should be, but finding yourself repeating a lot of the same tried and true patterns and change feels more than difficult? Has this, or any other variety of stressors you are under been making you feel as if you are not enough, or do you have a history of relationships that has been adding to a concept of self that doesn't seem like it's growing you? I love work in helping others feel the most like themselves - whether that is a version of themselves they have not met yet, or have not been in touch with for quite some time.

I welcome the opportunity to work with couples who are experiencing relationship issues and/or family conflict to find creative ways to resolve the conflict and strengthen the relationship. I also enjoy working with individuals who have experienced negative life events. Exposure to trauma at an early age often affects our lives as adults in profound ways making it difficult for us to maintain healthy relationships, to cope with stressors in non-destructive ways and to experience a consistent positive self image.

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.
