Are you someone who believes that life could be more than it is? Do you have a vision for your life, but you aren’t sure how to reach it? My goal as a holistic therapist is to help people to align with wellness and bloom into their authentic self. Along with being trained in numerous evidenced based psychotherapy models such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, EMDR and Internal Family Systems, I also have extensive training in Reiki, meditation, and other holistic practices.

My clients are curious, life-long learners who have a sense that something is missing. They feel as if there is some secret to life that is eluding them. They are not looking to simply alleviate symptoms; rather, they seek to gain a broader understanding of their self. They tend to be kind and conscientious, wanting good things for the world around them. They can find themself consumed with anxious thoughts about what is “right.” And they often express to me that they have lost their sense of self.

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.
