Navigating life transitions can be overwhelming, especially when paired with anxiety, depression, or relational challenges. I often work with clients facing challenges related to life transitions, such as starting a new job, moving to a new city, or experiencing shifts in relationships. It can be beneficial to find clarity, build healthier coping mechanisms, and foster stronger, more fulfilling connections with others. For many clients, understanding the root of their emotions and behaviors can be helpful in working toward greater emotional stability and personal growth.

Are you struggling with life’s demands and feeling alone and misunderstood? Maybe with limited or no support? This can often come with feelings of hopelessness, anxiety and or depression. A desire to change and unsure how to? You do not have to struggle in silence. Having a non-judgmental space to begin to uncover these feelings in a collaborative manner is validating, freeing and empowering. Working together we can create tools to cope with life’s obstacles that are thrown at us. This can help release the grief, anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and negative talk.

We can all benefit from talking to someone at some point in our lives whether it be regarding stress, anxiety, frustration, irritability, anger, depressed mood or something in particular in your life that you need to vent about in a safe, nonjudgmental space to someone who will listen genuinely and empathetically. From these sessions you can both gain and lose. For example, you can lose things you have been holding on to and gain freedom and clarity. You can unlearn negative patterns of thinking or unwanted behaviors and learn some new skills and coping techniques. Self Discovery and Self Awareness are vital parts of this journey.

I hope to provide a safe, accepting, trusting and confidential atmosphere for those I work with so they can express themselves completely. Within this environment I would be honored to start a relationship with individuals that brings them to the next level they are striving for. Most emotional instability is caused from past trauma, loss and/or multi-systemic patterns/themes which continue to play out in our lives. I use a Family Systems Approach to psychotherapy combined with other interventions as needed. This approach permits individuals to grow from these experiences/patterns allowing their journey of self discovery to unfold.

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.
