I use a combination of therapeutic interventions, including EMDR trauma therapy and parts work, to support clients in healing and growing into their most vibrant, calm, and whole version of themselves. Anxiety, depression, low self-worth, and reactivity often stem from unresolved trauma that remains trapped in our bodies and minds. If we don’t address and treat it, it can continually affect our present-day relationships. You deserve to experience the peace that comes from healing.

Burned out. Overwhelmed. Never feeling you're enough. You know you're taking on too many tasks, whether it be from guilt or obligation. Unfortunately, it seems impossible to say "no" even when saying "yes" to others means denying your own needs. Of course, that leads to everyone depending on you, with almost no time to take a break. You've been pulled in so many directions that you're constantly exhausted; your mind won't stop. You wonder how you got in this situation and if it will ever change. You're craving a balanced life with energy and hope for the future, but wonder if you have what it takes to make the change.

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.
