When we're feeling overwhelmed by trauma responses in our mind and body, it's natural to want to understand the root causes of our pain. You might be yearning for healing and clarity, or you may be hoping to regain a sense of control. Your goal might be to break free from negative patterns and rediscover joy in your life. I want to help you feel empowered and whole again.

As a queer, cisgender woman of color, with experience parenting a neurodivergent child, I am both personally and professionally aware of the ways intersectionality plays a significant role in how unique life may be experienced for each individual.
Sometimes we can find ourselves feeling disconnected and overwhelmed without knowing how to make a change. Are your relationships suffering? Do you find yourself repeating situations where you feel stuck, unheard, or dissatisfied? Are you at a place in your life where change is necessary or desired? Finding the courage to explore your past or current situation is the first step to reclaiming your power, confidence, and connection to yourself and others. In working with me, we will partner together as I help by creating an open and safe environment while supporting you to explore your concerns.

While on the inside, we could be battling negative self-talk, the overwhelm of day to day life or trauma from the past, and struggling to cope with these big feelings in a healthy way. Maybe we are ready to make a change, but are unsure where to begin.

“It will always be this way.” “I can never change.” “No one cares about me.” It can be easy to find yourself giving in to negative thoughts like these. The longer the thoughts linger, the more painful they become. You may feel as if you have tried just about everything to stop the ache. Or maybe you’re just too tired to try anything at all.

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.
