Beginning therapy is an act of self-compassion, and that requires courage and vulnerability. The journey of self-discovery can be daunting, yet unearthing subconscious drivers can encourage change. If you're feeling bogged down by a sense of being stuck, struggling in your relationships due to heightened reactivity, finding your old coping mechanisms ineffective in the face of intrusive thoughts or hopelessness, or noticing an uptick in substance use or drinking, it's time to take action and transform your life. Together, we'll work to help you create joy and fulfillment by cultivating a life that truly resonates with you.

When it comes to therapy not only do I come into sessions with knowledge and education, but I come in with personal experiences that make us more alike rather than different. My passion stems from childhood trauma and my goal is to help heal one person at a time from the darkness and pain that continues to haunt them the way it used to haunt me. I am a believer in change, and I love the work that I do.

Unlike other programs, I understand that sometimes getting seen is urgent and you don't want to wait weeks. I attempt to get clients in within 24 hours. And I am like you; I hate waiting in the reception area to see the counselor, therefore I make every attempt to stay on schedule this is a priority to me so that I won't disrespect your time. I am currently work towards a PhD. in Addiction since I find helping those who struggle with substance use disorders important and fulfilling.

I take a direct approach to the therapy process by working with adults to deepen self-awareness and explore the past to help better understand current situations, and find strategies to address current challenges. I aim to help clients gain clarity, insight and awareness of behavior and thought patterns so that clients can be more purposeful about how to approach everyday decisions. My goal for each client is that they end therapy not only with clarity about the past and the future, but also with the tools and confidence to achieve their goals.

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.
