When life is challenging, support is here. Choosing therapy does not mean you are incapable of handling things on your own. I like to think about therapy similarly to building a home. You will build the home, but it is much easier to do with tools than by hand. Therapy is the tool to help you build upon a meaningful, richer, happier, healthier life. While I do specialize in certain areas, I am able to work with a variety of concerns.

Change begins with the realization that the way you are experiencing life is not in alignment with your values and vision for yourself. For change to continue, this awareness needs to inspire the willingness to leave unhelpful beliefs and actions behind and build new strengths and supports. I meet clients at wherever they are in the process of developing a life that is balanced, inspiring, fulfilling, and genuine to their own goals.

The toughest part about therapy is showing up. To continue to show up for yourself might be even tougher. If therapy were easy, everyone would do it. Taking that first step for yourself, is the most powerful thing that you can do and you should give yourself all the credit for being able to do it.

Who can I turn to to help me navigate these feelings I have been sitting with for so long? This can feel so isolating and have us feeling like we do not deserve to reach out for the help we need.

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.
