There is a solution. There is hope. And there is healing. Anxiety, depression, disordered eating, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, disruption in relationships, substance abuse, and on and on. These are curable, changeable, healable issues. When you go straight to the root of the issue, you can bring deep, lasting change. And we now know that the root of every mental health disorder (and many physical diseases as well) is some form of unresolved trauma. Trauma refers to any moment in our lives that our resources were overwhelmed. Big or small, single events or years-long patterns-if we don't have the support to process it, we store it.

But those are the parts that we need to get to know so we can grow and move on from our past hurts and traumas.  Ever feel like you have two sides of yourself that are at constant odds that stop you from making decisions and moving forward? Do you ever feel that you have become your anxiety or depression? Did you know that most of our behaviors; even the ones we don't like are meant to protect us.

You feel disconnected from your life. Perhaps it’s a sense of numbness that makes connecting with others difficult. Or maybe it’s the constant feeling of being on edge, wondering what others think of you. You feel like no matter what, you’re just not good enough. Living through abuse can deteriorate our sense of self-worth. It’s important to know that it is never too late to heal from childhood sexual abuse. I recognize the profound impact that childhood trauma can have on our adult lives, often showing up in ways we may not fully understand.

Whether counseling children or adults, my approach is rooted in empathy, non-judgment, and a deep understanding of each individual's unique strengths and challenges. In addition to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I am also trained in Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS), which focuses on identifying wounded parts and getting the Self to manage and unblend from its pain. Therapy can show us that all our parts are welcome, that healing is possible, and that alive and well at our center is a powerful, transformative, God-created core. In addition to my work with children, I am also certified in pre-marriage counseling.

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.
