There is hope that life can become fulfilling again and that each day isn't just another task on a list.

Immediately accepting new clients for Telehealth! Everyone's journey through life is different. I believe that we learn from our environment and experiences. Sometimes the behaviors, ideas, & beliefs we learned don't always transfer to our current reality. Often times we learn things to help us survive situations but once we overcome said situations, those behaviors aren't needed anymore and cause havoc in our lives and relationships. I help my clients understand and unravel their behaviors, beliefs, ideas, and thought patterns and replace them with ones that support their lives and relationships now.

You have been through so much and you are dealing with a lot. It is overwhelming and life is not exactly going as planned. Mentally, physically, and emotionally, you are silently suffering because something has changed and even your closest family and friends don't get it. To make matters worse, through all of your challenges, you still have big goals! You set the bar high for yourself and are not meeting your own expectations. Maybe you are struggling with the adjustments of a medical diagnosis or a major life event and feelings of anxiety, sadness, or uncertainty have crept in. Ease, acceptance, joy, and success would be nice...

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.
