Feeling hopeless and anxious? Lost control of your life? Traumatic experiences, depression, and anxiety steal your focus, impede your goals, and create constant distress. Can't shake that feeling of dread? It’s nearly impossible to find joy in the moment if you’re always waiting for your worst fears to be realized. Living a productive and meaningful life is possible once you conquer the obstacles that have plagued you for so long. Therapy takes courage but you can find peace and tranquility. What’s holding you back from living the life you truly want?

Most people who seek psychotherapy already possess a "spark" or a strong inclination for a certain change in their life. As you share your story my experience strengthens the spark, turning it to earnest desire and belief in the very real possibility of effecting change in your life. I lecture at the university level in the areas of DEALING WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE and LEADERSHIP. I also lecture on ANXIETY MANAGEMENT. Though grounded in traditional psychotherapy, I espouse the merits of short-term and innovative techniques.

Through compassion, I meet clients where they are in their lives. I spend time getting to know my clients and their own hopes for themselves. Therapy works best when clients feel connected to the therapist and are hopeful about the goals we set together. I help clients feel positive about their lives and future, work with them to accept our humanness, and offer ways to communicate their stories, even if not with words. I hold space for clients who are adults and teens trying to love the skin they are in, parents trying to understand their kids, those with new or long-term grief, and young adults figuring out the future.

You have been in therapy before and although helpful, you still struggle with your relationships and with your self-esteem. That nagging negative core belief (I'm not enough; I'm unlovable, etc.) you have about yourself is still there and won't go away. Past traumas (big or small) have left you feeling unsafe, unseen and misunderstood. You find you either overreact or underreact. Old thoughts/feelings, excessive anxiety, worry, ruptured attachments, low confidence or depression has you feeling stuck, and you want better for yourself and for those around you.

If you are struggling with feelings of being "lost" or are having a hard time navigating your way through significant life changes, then I might be the therapist for you. Often, dealing with these changes can lead to feelings of anxiety, low self-esteem, or disempowerment. Clients may also see me with problems relating to relationship/dating concerns, college transitions, eating disorders, body image issues, OCD, PTSD, and grief. In counseling with me, I aim to uplift, encourage, and assist you on your path to peace and wellness. I want nothing more than for you to feel empowered and confident in your ability to achieve your goals.

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.
