Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or having difficulty just getting through the day? Do you have concerns that your child or teen is struggling with tough emotions and you want to know how to help them? These are all thoughts that bring individuals to counseling. It can be a scary step to reach out to a stranger to talk about your innermost thoughts or to entrust your child's emotional care to someone you are not familiar with. I'd like to partner with you to discover what would help most and to guide emotionally healthy decisions. Visit my website using the link provided to schedule your first session.

Finding the right therapist can be challenging. My goal is to make individuals comfortable with the therapeutic process through a holistic and trauma-informed approach. Specializing in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), I help clients release beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that block growth and healing. Together, we may work on navigating life transitions, managing stress, and addressing past trauma. I support those dealing with grief and loss, chronic and terminal illness, and caregiver stress as we journey to hope and healing.

The work of growth and healing is sacred, challenging and beautiful work. Often, my clients come to me when they are at the edge of something scary, painful or confusing. Maybe they are exhausted from their own efforts, physically broken down, seeing their pain leak out into relationships or school or jobs, and they know they need help. They know there's something more to life, that it's not supposed to be this hard. They don't feel whole, stable or capable of achieving the kind of life they know should be within their grasp.

Everyone has those moments when they struggle to find solutions and make positive changes. Maybe you are ready to do the work, but feel intimidated by the idea of therapy (you, baring your soul while a stranger with a notepad occasionally says, “mhmm”). Therapy doesn’t have to feel like a one-sided conversation; it is really about working together as a team to achieve your goals. This is a space to let it all out; to cry and swear and laugh and, most importantly, learn to do something different! Come in. Sit down. Let’s get real.

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.
