Are you feeling uncomfortable in your own skin? Feeling like you can never relax or be at ease with yourself can be agonizing. When you don't feel confident in who you are, every day tasks and relationships can be difficult. Perhaps a feeling of disconnection with yourself has led you to feel disconnected to those around you. You could be concerned that your therapist won't understand your experiences or feel like you will have to educate them. I will provide you with a safe place to explore your thoughts, emotions, and identity.

I am extremely passionate about helping those that are dealing with grief, and even anticipatory grief, in relation to a terminal illness. I have worked in hospice for 17 years and feel that end of life support and education is my calling. It is so important that every individual realize that their way of dealing with grief may be different and that’s ok. Providing clients with a safe place to share their thoughts and feelings is of utmost importance to me.

Somehow, you’ve taken on more than your fair share again. How does this always seem to happen? It’s like they don’t notice- or care. It would be really nice to feel appreciated for a change, but you can’t remember the last time you even got so much as a thank you. Maybe things would be different if you could just communicate better… but how? Last time you tried that it turned into an argument and you walked away feeling frustrated, guilty and selfish for even saying anything. After all, aren’t you just being overly sensitive? “Just get over it”, you tell yourself for the hundredth time…

I specialize in working with children ages 5-16 years old, and I offer evening appointments. Whether your child is "acting out" at school or home, experiencing anxiety symptoms or panic attacks, exploring their identity or sexuality, or going through significant life changes, I would love to help them work through it! As adults, life has a way of presenting us with challenges that would seem nearly impossible to overcome. These factors impact our thoughts, feelings and often change our daily routines and behavior outside of our norm, making it difficult to find our internal peace. I have found these same adversities in kids.

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.
