Are you struggling with anxiety? Do you find yourself having a difficult time coping with everyday life? If so, I get it. Anxiety, and all of its related issues, can be paralyzing. Alot of us also struggle with past experiences that may have left deep wounds and these wounds can contribute to the effects of anxiety. But the good news is that together, we can find paths to wellness. And I love helping people find these paths!

Change is possible if you take the first step. I come from a place of understanding that making any changes in life can be difficult, even talking to a therapist! I believe therapy is like a conversation, which can make difficult situations feel more manageable and goals more attainable. Leaning into your strengths and collaborating on realistic goals are specific ways I support you while in therapy.

I started my journey into applied behavior analysis (ABA) in 2014, my daughter was diagnosed with Autism. The progress she made inspired me to return to school and obtain my masters in ABA. She went from not speaking more than two words in a year and very dependent upon others. She now can hold conversations, advocate for herself and is making friends. My goal is to help other children show the world who they are and enrich their lives like my daughters was.

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.
