Most of us struggle with sadness, anger, and anxiety at some point in our lives. I have come to understand that for these feelings to heal, you need to have healthy, safe, secure relationships. You achieve this by healing your unresolved wounds and learning how to have good relationships, especially with yourself. Doing this involves implementing boundaries,knowing your needs and wants, emotional & physical self-care, communication skills, and learning how to regulate your emotions. I too have taken this journey which has brought incredible healing to my life. Healing should not be done alone, we all need support and guidance!

You may be struggling to “show up” fully in your life, whether due to past or present traumas, difficult life transitions, or just navigating the whiplash of our current reality. It’s important to me to facilitate sessions that are candid and down to earth. I want to get to know you and your goals while offering tools and takeaways that leave you feeling heard, inspired, and ready to tackle the issues that have led you here. I know it can be overwhelming trying to navigate all that life can throw at you- therapy can be a space where you can face these stressors head on, with unwavering support.

I view therapy as a collaborative effort. We will work as a team to make positive changes, build skills, improve self-awareness, and improve your overall quality of life. During our first few sessions we will focus on building trust, your story, and identifying a treatment goal. Based on that goal we will establish a plan for treatment that is tailored to your specific needs. Creating structure through goal setting and consistency is important to the therapy process. However, I still aim to provide a relaxed approach that meets you where you're at.

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.
