I once read, "We Are All Just Walking Each Other Home." I liked that so much. It's a heart-opening image. Yet, it's not always smooth sailing, is it? We grapple with emotions, encounter unexpected behavior from others, face conflicts, and then, how do we meet our own expectations? There's a complexity to it all—moments where we feel overwhelmed. Yet, with unwavering faith, we try again, waking up every morning and continuing to face life head-on. We become heroes with each act of kindness, each shared smile, and each glimmer of hope we offer to others.

Mindfulness with sincere work towards change will allow us to grow and develop into the human beings we are created to be. None of us are perfect...we are human beings affected by the winds of the world and the people that we come into contact with, if only for a moment. As well as those decisions we make...the bad ones and the good ones. As a therapist I will do the best I can to encourage you the Client to be mindful of the process of change. And it is a process!

Life is full of challenging phases, decisions, and transitions. You’re the expert on your life and only you can identify and work towards your identified goals. If you know some of your behaviors, choices, or relationships aren't working for you and are ready for a different perspective, some new skills and ways of thinking, you’re ready for therapy. I enjoy working with a variety of clients; from young adults navigating school, career, relationships, and identity to older adults seeking to better utilize their age-earned strengths and talents.

Life can be overwhelming. We all need some dedicated time to nurture and heal. Why should someone hire a therapist rather than just talk through their problems with a friend or family member? First of all, if you have someone in your life to whom you feel comfortable opening up, that is awesome. Keep doing that. We all need these vital human connections. But a therapist brings something a little different to the table than a best friend.

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.
