Truth be told! Now more than ever we need to talk. Process thoughts, feelings and every emotion under the sun. Wherever we are on the journey of life, we need to express self and work though sometimes tough terrain. We are from all walks of life, we are professionals seeking licensure, certification, we are homemakers with children, we are struggling with sobriety, we are angry and need a safe place to experience change. You desire support not judgement. You are ready for change.

No one is perfect. We've all behaved petty at some point in our lives. Over the years, petty has become popular, going viral via social media around the world; however, what I've learned in life & in this field is whether we have been that person or been impacted by someone, we can all chase the root down to something deeper than the situation, i.e. sadness, anxiety, trauma, etc. I am here to offer you a non-judgmental space to process from the petty to highly problematic experience. I invite you to work with me to heal from the inside out (or root to the surface) & have more peaceful experiences with yourself & others. Let's talk!

Often when we encounter problems in life, we look for external solutions. Many of the obstacles that keep us from feeling better are internal wounds or patterns that once kept us safe. My goal is to help you shift patterns and heal wounds through the four pillars of mental health: self-knowledge, self-compassion, self-acceptance, and self-love. I believe all people have the innate capacity to heal themselves. I am a dedicated collaborator here to listen with curiosity and empathy and help you uncover your most content, authentic self.

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.
