Many people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unable to cope in today's world. Seeking support is the first step on a heaing journey. For over 25 years I've worked with clients who have been experiencing a variety of challenges. My primary focus has been with people who have substance abuse problems or their loved ones.Most have underlying trauma expressing itself in a multitude of ways; anxiety, depression, body image, substance abuse, & self harm. Trauma and loss have increased in our current world. As a response, I've expanded my client base to address the myriad losses, and the resulting trauma many people are facing today.

Life can be hard sometimes. Situations, circumstances and relationships can seem to be overwhelming or even impossible to handle. Sometimes we just need someone to talk to, to be a support through the difficult times, to help us sort things out, and to learn more healthy positive ways of overcoming these situations.

“Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives.” Healing from trauma is a journey; a journey I would be honored to be on with you. My experience is working with children, adolescents and adults who may have suffered from a trauma in their life, such as physical, sexual or emotional abuse, domestic violence, chronic illnesses, etc. I also work with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety and transitions in their lives. I work with moms in both pre- and postpartum, as well as throughout to work with the challenges that accompany motherhood.

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.
