Being a person is hard. Big life events can make it harder and even daily care tasks make it harder. Sometimes, once we realize we need extra help, it’s hard to find the energy and courage to look for help, to ask for it. This is starting to sound like an endless cycle of things being hard and daily life feeling unmanageable – yikes! That’s where I come in! First thing you need to know: you are okay! You are doing so much better than you think! Fun side note: in addition to being an LPC Associate, I'm also a certified Level II Reiki practitioner.

Through all my experiences I have witnessed people's capacity to change and make their world better. It's important to recognize negative thought patterns that can develop when going through difficult situations or negative thinking habits we don't realize we possess. I would like the opportunity to help you change to more positive thoughts which will in turn assist you to more successful choices and better feelings.

I help women overcome low mood and anxiety during pregnancy, postpartum, and throughout the maternal life cycle.
You're a mom feeling like a ticking timebomb about to explode. You love your kids with all your heart! You’re intelligent, funny, and hardworking. Despite all this, life is hard. Your growing family’s needs feel so enormous you are constantly on edge, irritable, and overwhelmed. This is not how you pictured motherhood to be.

You’re a young adult who’s tried therapy before but feels discouraged because it never seems like the right fit. Therapy always feels like talking in circles but there's no real change or tangible help. You want a relationship with a therapist like the ones you hear about, where people talk about how connected and open they feel with their counselor. You’re experiencing symptoms from trauma, suffering from intense anxiety, crippling depression, or relationship issues as a result of your symptoms. You’ve been told how “self-aware and strong” you are, but feel stuck in a cycle of disconnection from yourself.

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.
