You can’t pour from an empty cup; take care of yourself first. I help anxious people regain control of their lives. My clients struggle like you do. Nothing is permanent in this world, even our troubles. Anxiety is an unseen enemy that is crippling and may be negatively affecting your career, relationships, and personal aspirations. Stress and insecurities can keep you from living your best life. Despite being hardworking, helpful, and outgoing, life continues to knock you down.

Sometimes life throws us off the path we wanted to walk down, but it is never to late to change the direction of our path. It is important to take time to explore our thoughts as they are directly correlated to how we feel on a daily basis. I share with my clients that we need to start by managing your emotions, so they do not manage you. When we learn to have all three; positive thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, we begin to see the change that we have been looking for. During our time together my goal is to help you process your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs in order for you to walk down the path of your choice.

Many adults feel pressured to have all of the answers when faced with life’s problems. We can find ourselves in a place where coping strategies just aren’t working. Some fear being a burden on others, so they keep their struggles mostly to themselves, despite the pain they’re experiencing. Imagine if you could learn coping skills that actually improved your situation? Imagine if you could feel comfortable sharing your struggles with trusted individuals, instead of keeping them bottled up inside? There is a way to develop coping skills unique to you, which will help you think and feel differently.

Too often in life, it seems as though the struggles we face are going to overwhelm us. Too often we feel as though the very people who should be our support system are either failing us, or are part of the problem. My aim during therapy is to create a safe and secure environment in order to help clients reach their goals and learn healthier ways of interacting with people and world. Life isn't always fair, and it isn't always easy; but it can be better. Therapy can be an important factor in reaching that potential.

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.
