Therapy is useful if you find that your thoughts or emotions are getting in the way of enjoying your life. For some, this means uncomfortable feelings are limiting their ability to fully engage in activities, relationships, and work. For others, thoughts of the past or future might be distracting or distressing. Other people may look to the outside world like they are doing well, but internally they feel they are struggling or that they are not reaching their potential.

Do you want to feel confident, but struggle to trust yourself? Do the “little” things feel overwhelming? Throw in a trauma, unexpected loss, or that shitty thing you thought you moved on from, and you’re really feeling out of control. Yeah, you’re holding it all together, but you're questioning your intuition, feeling irritable and discouraged. You haven't been able to make a change that sticks. Now, you’re ready to try something different. You’re ready to lose the self-doubt and irritability. Most of all, you’re ready to live with confidence, calmness, and courage. I can help you get there.

My 15 years of working with students and parents have given me a deep and personal understanding of how an ADHD or executive dysfunction (EF) diagnosis affects all aspects of a student's life. As a Certified Coach, there is nothing more satisfying to me than to see a student's self-esteem rise as he or she develops skills to overcome tremendous obstacles such as difficulty focusing, procrastination, disorganization, or the inability to set priorities. I am especially proud of my students who, as their confidence grew, became comfortable being their own advocate -- and the pride they felt at achieving such a major accomplishment!

Initially, therapy can help us learn skills to cope with our anxious or painful feelings. It can help us manage stressful situations and feel more stable. Then therapy provides a safe place where together we can dig deeper to discover the causes of our feelings. Through the therapeutic relationship we become aware. The awareness glares so bright that change is inevitable.

Do you feel successful in some areas of life but feel other areas are lacking? Perhaps you are struggling to function as you once did. Life transitions, stresses of parenting, and caring for others are burning you out. You probably have some idea of how you got to this point but you need help living the life you imagine. We will collaborate to get to the root of your struggles. Some clients respond better to making connections with their past before proceeding to a place of change while others respond better to more present-focused techniques. Together, we will work to meet your goals and improve your overall quality of 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.
