Betrayal or Brink of Divorce? If people were to observe you from across the room, they might look at you and think everything was perfect. After all, you look pleasant and normal enough. What they wouldn't know by looking at you is that you're managing to hide the confusion, grief, heartbreak, and despair that someone who is experiencing the unraveling of a marriage would understand. Yes, you put up a good front because you have to, but the truth is that you're in the midst of dealing with what is perhaps the biggest disappointment of your life.

Have you noticed a change in you or your child’s behavior lately? Been experiencing any unwanted behaviors such as defiance, declining motivation, isolation, difficulties at school/work, legal troubles, or interpersonal relationship challenges. The child you once new has shifted into a different person, and you’re worried that something internal is going on to cause these behaviors. The school system doesn’t understand that this is not the child you raised and you’re tired of trying to explain how to work with them. It feels like everyone has given up, but I’m here to instill hope that your baby is going to be okay.

Having served children and families through the child welfare system for nearly 20 years, I am very interested in the impact trauma has on the brain and enjoy my work with children and adolescents as well as adults who have experienced chronic or significant trauma including victims of sex trafficking. We all deserve to feel safe with minimal anxiety in our day-to-day lives. By helping promote a positive sense of self and self-esteem, feelings of anxiety and worry can be reduced while increasing clients' sense of meaning and purpose in life.

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.
