My ideal client will allow me to help him or her to grow and to heal. This requires the client to believe in the possibility of trust, hope, and change. The ideal client is honest and willing to take some risk. Just coming to a counselor is a big risk!

I help people who are stuck; people who are being pushed unexpectedly into life-changing transitions that feel undesirable or unmanageable, and those who feel depleted from fighting for everyone else but don't have time for themselves. I especially love working with "out-of-the-box" folks who feel squeezed into ill-fitting societal boxes. My clients long for deep self-compassion and acceptance for all of who they are, to heal the parts that they have ignored or denied.

I’ve lived with the challenges faced by those with severe learning disabilities within my own family. This isn’t a business for me. It’s a passion spanning decades of searching for a better answer for struggling learners—the solution - Precision Teaching. Effective learning requires a program customized to your child’s needs with high rates of deliberate practice, expert feedback, and reinforcement guided by ongoing data analysis. It’s breaking complex skills into its core parts to build stronger skills. It’s discovering your child can learn and become a more agile and cognitively fit learner.

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.
