From the outside, things couldn't be better. You have a life that looks happy and complete, but you feel unsettled. You second-guess your decisions and often feel that you are letting someone down. You sometimes feel resentful that you are going above and beyond and it's still never enough. I specialize in supporting high-achieving women who want to overcome self-doubt and overthinking to move forward with clarity and confidence.

Waitlist for new clients
When thinking about my "ideal" client, I don't have any specific person or problem that comes to mind. I believe that each person has their own unique life and experiences and that a therapist should be willing to work with them to discover their issues, needs, and goals as the therapeutic relationship is built. Every relationship in life is based on trust, so I would say that I would want my clients to trust me enough to let me in and begin working on their individual selves.

But there is help - you don't have to handle it alone. I can work with you and provide you with the support you need.

Do you know when two people who really love each other have a breakdown in communication over time? Can that be you? You end up forgetting what brought you together in the first place. I see African American married and unmarried couples who are searching for ways to communicate love again. As a Solution Focused Brief and Biblical Marriage Coach, I help you rediscover what's possible rather than re-hash what is wrong. I partner with you to be the best versions of yourselves for each other, your family and your community.

My focus is treating professional women and female college students struggling with anxiety disorders and perfectionism. Clients often have historically been able to cope with the stresses of life, but symptoms such as depression, anxiety, poor focus, sleep or appetite disturbance, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, or relationship conflict are becoming hard to manage. Supporting through changing life circumstances such as relocation, divorce, employment related stressors, performing in high demand jobs or educational programs, and managing life as a working parent is of primary interest.

What? Me . . . traumatized? Surely it's not as bad as . .someone else and their experience. Trauma comes in many forms and disguises. The back part of the brain subconsciously feels we are in a battle or there's a bear in the cave. Our defenses/ways of coping and triggers arise in ways that aren't helpful or productive/controllable. Reactions/responses seem to come from out of nowhere. These can be signs/symptoms of depression, anxiety,and overwhelm. All can be addressed and shifted in counseling, particularly through EMDR. I am certified in that field and have found it to be life-changing for many.

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.
