In providing mental health care, I have gained experience with a variety of populations, situations, and backgrounds. The majority of my experience accumulated in a residential setting for children and adolescents. As a result of that experience, my practice has evolved to come from a Cognitive Behavioral base with an emphasis on practicing trauma informed care while focusing on mindfulness, being person-centered, and utilizing one’s own strengths as a source of healing.

I have great respect for what each individual brings to therapy and faith in the power of relationship to effect growth and change. I believe that my sensitivity to need, whether in very young children or mature adults is a unique gift that brings hope to life.

When clients have a session with me, I want them to feel comfortable sharing their deepest darkest fears because those are often the very things that keep us in a cycle of mental and emotional turmoil. Just being able to say how you truly feel- out loud to someone who is really listening, can be so freeing for a person. As a therapist, I know that it’s not enough to just talk about it though. It’s not enough to unload your emotional baggage onto others and then you magically feel better. If you're willing to do the work, then I'm willing to support you in your healing journey.

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.
