I have a Bachelors and Masters degree in Social Work, and some of the areas I have been certified and/or trained in include child welfare, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, family systems work, and trauma therapy.
This sucks. Everything is so expensive. Things are moving so fast, I can't keep up. I don't get it. When I look at social media everyone has it all together, but I'm drowning. What's wrong with me? Have you seen the world? I'm so scared. I'm trying hard to keep it together but it feels like society standards, my past, life stressors and other uncontrollable factors have the upper hand. I can't do this. I'm so tired. I should be better than this. How can I be at peace when the triggers are always there? Be seen when others misunderstand me? Be a good mom when parenting feels impossible? Be unapologetically me?

As a professional counselor, my desire is to inspire and empower clients to optimally manage their spiritual, mental, and physical health individually and relationally. As a survivor, I support a survivor mentality, acknowledging and honoring negative life experiences and feelings yet consistently seeking solutions rather than existing in problems.

I appreciate the value of counseling but I also work to make counseling affordable and accessible.

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.
