Hello lovely people! I'm excited to be a fellow traveler on this journey with you as you shift identification from the false conditioned self and integrate and align with your True Self! This can look like and feel like getting free from the pain and wounds that bind you, keep you stuck in emotional reactivity, steal your joy and distort your perspective. I believe every client has everything they need inside of themselves. Sometimes we just need a little nudge, additional support in a non-judgmental space and complete and total acceptance. At the end of the day, we all want to know that we matter and that we are seen and heard.

I understand the complexities of navigating life's challenges while carrying the weight of past experiences. I specialize in working with BIPOC individuals, couples, and family systems navigating trauma, identity shifts, and relational challenges. Many feel weighed down by "people pleasing", family expectations, or unresolved hurt, and they want a safe space to finally put themselves first. I love working with clients who are ready to explore their stories, deepen their self awareness, and build healthier, more authentic connections with themselves and with others.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, 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 because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

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 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.
