Do you feel like you’re not good enough? Do you wonder why you feel this way? Does this effect your relationships and quality of life? It can be overwhelming, and it’s common for people to struggle with these kinds of thoughts and feelings. The trouble is, it can get in the way of achieving meaningful goals in our lives. Many people choose to avoid these thoughts and feelings which can lead to unfulfilling relationships, unrewarding careers and other mental health problems such as anxiety or depression. It’s exhausting trying to live up to an unattainable standard, right?

We may have all asked ourselves at one time or another...."How did I (or we) get here?"... During these times, talking to someone who understands helps. I believe that it takes courage and strength to seek change. It is through this change that we begin to feel better not only about ourselves, but about our life circumstances. I always feel honored that clients trust me enough to share their stories. Much of my work has been dedicated to helping those who are struggling with depression or experiencing anxiety. I will do my best to help you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

You’ve been thinking about therapy for a while now. You feel overwhelmed by the daily grind. Unable to balance the demands of work and family. Doing nothing is no longer an option. Maybe you’re feeling stuck in a negative headspace. Over-thinking things. Distracted at work. Feeling less present at home. Headed down the old path towards self-destructive behaviors. You're not alone. You aren’t damaged, weak, or “broken.” You’re none of those things. You’re simply human. And, these days, being human can be incredibly hard.

A major life change may be impacting you more than you thought, feelings of depression and loneliness are becoming unmanageable. Stress may be overwhelming and impacting many areas of your life. The journey into parenthood may have brought about feelings of doubt, memories of past trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and longing.

Many of us have times in our lives when we get overwhelmed. And despite our best efforts to cope, we can end up feeling unhappy, lost, and alone. Perhaps you are going through something right now - a relationship conflict, a big life transition, struggling at work or in school, dealing with grief or long-standing struggles with family, identity, self-esteem, anxiety or depression. Perhaps you are dealing with a physical health issue that is impacting your emotional and mental well-being. It’s helpful at times like these to have someone there to listen and help you sort things out.

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.
