My strengths as a therapist lie in my ability to help people find their "inner voice". I believe people are experts on their own lives; they just need a safe space to figure out what they want, learn how to trust themselves and the courage to make the changes they need and want in their lives. Change starts with feeling like you have been seen and heard by another person. I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for over 25 years. I have been fortunate to work in a variety of clinical settings that have allowed me the opportunity to support clients of all ages, ethnicities, genders and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Castleton On Hudson, NY 12033 (Online Only)
I believe in the ability of people to change. I also know that what often holds us back is the lack of trust, confidence and support that often emantes from things we did not receive in our childhood. This is not to blame our parents-I am one and have made my own mistakes-but to acknowledge that how we become who we become can be greatly influenced by our early experiences. That being said, there are so many tools available today, to help us reach our goals, successfully manage our emotions and have healthy, loving relationships. A lot of what we struggle with is essentailly learned behavior and it can be unlearned.

You are feeling weighed down, confused, and wondering what it is you have (or should have!) energy for these days—or worry that others seem to know exactly what it is they're doing. Maybe you've had these feelings for awhile, maybe they're new to you and you feel somewhat curious or hopeful to learn more. Perhaps you've felt withdrawn, more isolated, or more avoidant of being with others; or maybe you're having trouble spending time alone.

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.
