Although I am competent in many areas, I specialize in women’s issues, eating disorders, divorce, weight-loss surgery, anxiety, relationship stressors, life transitions, parenting, addiction and post-partum challenges.
For almost a decade, I’ve had the opportunity for individuals to trust me in their journey to working through a variety of challenges in their lives. I approach each person and their concerns on an individual basis, and find gratitude in the trust given to me in this process. I use a reality based and “down-to-earth” approach that also encompasses all of the important therapeutic ideals that I find beneficial. I try to create a judgement-free space for collaborative approaches to problems and focus on working side by side with my clients to meet their individual needs.

If you're here, that means a part of you is ready for change. Perhaps you’ve hit a major bump in the road or life crisis and need immediate support. Maybe let's say you have decided that you want to better yourself, reduce stress, increase self-esteem, improve your overall health, heal unresolved past trauma, or maintain healthy relationships. While people come to therapy for many different reasons, the choice to care for ourselves, to seek help, allows us to find the resilience we didn't even realize was there.

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.
