As a counselor, I am a strong believer in the power of finding healing through creative expression, both internally and externally. I work from an integrative mind/body perspective to journey with you in order to better understand what can best support you in your healing. I am a Registered Art Therapist and have extensive training in complex trauma, a level 1 graduate in Somatic Experiencing and am trained in EMDR and DBT. I also integrate approaches from Internal Family Systems and other modalities that support the untangling of generational, systemic and environmental trauma.

Often, the work is getting back in touch with your Self in a deeper way—like re-calibrating your inner compass. My understanding of counseling comes from holistic, somatic and trauma-informed approaches that incorporate mind, body, and soul such as Jungian, IFS and transpersonal. Sex therapy is also a very important part of the work I do. Check out my website blog to learn more details about how I work

Ever since you experienced that profound loss, your life has been turned upside down. In some ways, the initial shock and disorientation were easier to handle than this. You were devastated, but that was expected, so the whirlwind of emotions was justifiable. But the dust has begun to settle, and it’s time to start thinking about how you’ll get on with the rest of your life. “What do I do now?” “Who am I?” “Will things ever feel right again?” You used to feel confident and full of purpose, but now insecurity and uncertainty plague you night and day. You can’t imagine yourself ever getting past this profound grief. It feels hopeless.

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.
