Fall means new routines and settling into school, and for some kids and parents, hard transitions. For adults, the season can feel like a new beginning, but what if you are unsure where to start? If you are looking for support for yourself, your child or your family, I have weekday openings. Therapy with me is a collaborative process. I want to hear about your hopes and dreams and co-create a plan for you to meet them.

I partner with individuals to discover their unique way through their life challenges to experience more resilience, hope, and meaning. Working with ways that cultural and family histories, including our big and little traumas, shape responses to challenges, individuals can develop more satisfying relationships and emotional freedom. These benefits are especially supportive of parents in the prenatal, birth, and postpartum periods and in the years beyond. As a writer, as well as a psychotherapist, I am able to incorporate therapeutic writing as a part of the the co-creative therapy process, with those who choose.

You’ve experienced more than most will ever know. You’ve carried this weight quietly, keeping it “all together” on the outside, but the pain and inner turmoil persists, following you through life. It can feel like a storm of highs and lows—waves of anxiety crashing into valleys of depression, leaving you exhausted and searching for relief. I understand how isolating it is to feel unseen, unheard, or stuck. Your past doesn't have to define you. Today could be the beginning of a new journey—one where you're not alone. I'm here to help you get to know these other parts of yourself and untangle your past from who you are at your core.

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.
