Sometimes difficult and painful emotions can become overwhelming and begin to interfere with your life. It can feel very lonely being stuck in a cycle of challenging problems that don't seem to get any better. As a therapist, my main goal is to provide a safe space to help clients with anxiety, depression and struggle due to both long-standing issues or perhaps a recent crisis. You may be dealing with major life changes, work or school problems, relationship/family conflict or other upsetting issues. With skilled and compassionate therapy, it is possible to find a way out of the pain-towards peace and happiness.

As a psychotherapist and healer for many years it has been my privilege to offer and provide help and comfort to people in distress. Experience has taught me that we all struggle to recover from the pains of the past, deal with the challenges of the present and the insecurities of the future, in our efforts to live the best lives that we can. This often seems very difficult if not impossible to accomplish alone. A strong and nurturing therapeutic relationship is a powerful and stable foundation for dealing with these challenges to our well-being, especially in these very troubling and uncertain times.

It’s understandable why taking the first step towards seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, especially coming from a place where most of us are conditioned throughout our lives to hide our vulnerabilities and “keep pushing through.” Life is full of ups and downs and everyone has a different way of responding to the challenges they face. Through all our experiences, I believe everyone is deserving of a safe space to explore their thoughts and feelings and being respected and received with unconditional positive regard.

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.
