Are you a people pleaser who feels overwhelmed with helping others? Do you do everything for your family and leave no time at the end of the day for yourself? You feel overwhelmed, disconnected from who you were before children, family and the demands of your career and life. You would like to break the chains of self-doubt and overthinking. Many times throughout the day you feel you aren't doing enough, need a minute to rest but feel you can't take one. You look in the mirror and wonder who is looking back at you. You would love time off but can't justify taking it. You know it is enough and you need support.

I believe life is a journey not a race. While on the journey we experience situations that are beautiful and wonderful as well as tragic and painful. It is through these experiences that we learn and grow to find who we are, what our purpose and dreams are as well as how to be the best version of ourselves. Sometimes we become stuck in a pit of pain and we need help to get back on solid ground to continue our journey. It may seem there is no way out but I believe there's always HOPE. It is through hope that we gain the faith to heal, learn, grow and continue on our journey to be a healthier version of ourselves to fulfill our dream.

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.
