As a therapist, my hope is to provide a safe space where you are able to be vulnerable without the fear of judgment. I come from a person-centered lens with an understanding of the impact adverse life events have on our overall well-being. Being able to gain a sense of internal safety, while gaining the confidence to know you are able to manage uncomfortable feelings in an adaptive manner not only reduces trauma responses but also boosts efficacy around who you are as a person.

I have walked through many challenges in life, including marriage, raising children, and facing physical and emotional abuse. I've experienced the pain of divorce, the difficulty of remarriage, fear of confronting past trauma, and the sorrow of losing a loved one to suicide. Some days, are just overwhelming. However, through these experiences, and God's grace, I've discovered ways to cope with grief and sorrow. I found ways to bring joy back into a home that felt broken and to heal from wounds of the past. I learned how to 'just breathe' through the toughest days and want to offer hope to others who may be facing similar struggles.

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.
