He’s a boy who will never love you. The reminder of his bachelor status always surprises you when you go to pee and the toilet seat’s up. There’s a television show playing, you’re mostly watching it, chatting inanely during commercial breaks. You take a sip from your beer that’s gone warm, wincing but staying silent, and by extension, cool. The tension between the two of you is humming, and you wonder, not for the first time, if this is some drama you’ve created to keep yourself sated in the midst a romantic dry spell. You can’t decide. That’s not true, you can. The tension is there, but it’s only a thin sheen that covers your fear.

Are you stuck? Do you feel like a deer in headlights? Do you feel like you are moving through life just surviving, not really living? Are you constantly dealing with emergencies and putting out fires in your life but never really getting anything you want to do accomplished? Or do you feel lost and without direction, like a ship in the middle of a storm? Sometimes life is hard and painful. And sometimes, the pain or the trauma we have suffered stops us dead in our tracks and keeps us from moving forward. This can be worse for Blacks or those that are being triggered by racial or systemic trauma. Struggling can tire us out!

I am trained as both a counselor and an art therapist. I like to work with clients who have difficulty identifying or expressing their emotions. Art therapy is a way of working that helps you to express and experience thoughts and feelings when words fail. You do not need any artistic skill to do art therapy - just a willingness to explore with a sense of curiosity. I am certified in Internal Family Systems and integrate this approach into art and sandtray therapy.

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.
