Congratulations! By engaging in research to find a counselor in your area you have taken the first step on a courageous journey. As your counselor I will share the tools I've gathered to assist you with your journey in improving your mental health. Counseling is not a means to an end, rather the beginning of a process to ongoing well being. Change may on occasion be easy and quick. More often times change can be slow and frustrating as there are no "magic pills" or instant cures. However you can learn helpful new ways to look at your problems.

You might worry about being judged, misunderstood, or vulnerable. And I get it- I have been in those shoes. I am here to meet you with empathy and patience right where you are, in whatever you are struggling with.

Deep emotional pain, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem can be symptoms of trauma or abuse. It can feel overwhelming until you just "don't want to do this anymore". Maybe you've read or heard about others who are experiencing relationship problems, have PTSD symptoms, are deeply sad or experiencing panic attacks, and you know exactly how it feels. "Normal" life has its ups and downs, but if you resonate with any of the above, you have probably experienced some abnormally stressful, traumatic life events. Any of them can become barriers to making and keeping meaningful connections with others or leading productive lives.

I know overwhelm and panic creep up at inconvenient times, even with no explanation. It's frustrating because one minute your relationship is great and the next you're misunderstood and fighting. I believe in the tools I teach, not just because I use them consistently myself, but they're proven to help you feel understood and connected to yourself and your companion. I believe cognitive awareness and flexibility, as well as relationship with self and companion, are lifelong pursuits. Using the methods over and over is not a setback, that's how it's meant to be, that's what it takes to keep growing.

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.
