I truly believe this to be true: Allowing ourselves to embrace growth, and healing, to learn to allow our pain alongside our love to be present, and to live as our genuine selves, is some of the hardest work anyone can do. It is also the most freeing -and can allow us to live a fulfilled and meaningful life. I am a licensed clinical therapist and have over 30 yrs of experience. I see primarily adults, with variety of issues: depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and with interpersonal relationships-but the toughest of all struggles I see, is in the most important relationship - the one we have with ourselves.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression or trauma from narcissistic and emotionally neglectful parents? Are you combatting emotional patterns that have been playing out in your life since you were young or from a past relationship? Do you want to feel more peace, calm and satisfaction in your daily life? Maybe you need better coping skills so that your brain and body don't feel so quick to react in a way that isn't healthy for you. Not taking care of your own needs is supremely unhealthy for your mind and body. I'd like to help you live a better life.

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.
