I believe that with all of the demands and expectations of life, it is important that every person identifies and secures a safe space. What is a safe space exactly, you may ask? A safe space refers to a mental and/or physical environment where an individual or group of people feel secure, protected, and free from harm and/or judgment. Creating a safe space within the therapeutic setting allows those involved to be their authentic self, while gaining comfortability with managing stress, challenging emotions and developing healthy coping skills. Not local, but in NC? I am happy to provide a safe virtual space for you as well!

Your story is important. We all give meaning to our own experiences, and sometimes our attempts to "make sense of it all" leave us feeling hopeless, inadequate, confused, lost, or angry. The "reasons" we act or feel the way we do are not always clear, and it can take a little digging to get to the root of things. The negative thoughts and feelings that exist within us can become draining and exhausting when we don't know what to do with them. Sometimes, because of the way we feel about ourselves, we struggle to feel secure in our own identity. As a therapist, I am interested in your story - as you see it through your own lens.

There's a quote by Dr. Russell Barkley that says, "The kids who need the most love will ask for it in the most unloving ways." Because I'm a mother of 5 that has 11 years of experience with adoption issues, I know this to be true. Developmental trauma has a huge impact on children, whether it is a result of inconsistent early caregiving (adoption/foster/difficult home life), a difficult pregnancy or delivery, early hospitalization, abuse, or neglect. These are the kids that desperately need to feel loved and secure, but will act out in many ways to test their caregivers' resolve.

You know the visceral pain of loss. You get how grief makes itself known through abrupt tears, sleepless nights, literal pain, and a plethora of emotions because you’ve lived it. You know what it’s like for life as you’ve known it to change in irreversible ways. Maybe you're in the thick of struggling to cope, trying to make sense of what’s happened and where you go from here, or you’re ready to heal a grief unobserved that’s been with you for some time. Perhaps you’ve lost someone to suicide, an often uniquely isolating loss. You might be grieving a breakup, familial estrangement or change in identity. These bring grief, too.

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.
