There is no shame in feeling tired. The world can be a heavy place, asking you to be everything to everyone while forgetting the weight of your own heart. Some days, you move through the noise like a whisper, unseen but still standing. That quiet endurance is not weakness. It’s history. It’s resilience wearing your name.
Here, we understand what it means to navigate overlapping identities and expectations, to move through a world that doesn’t always see you. We know the ache of being both invisible and too visible at once. We built this space for you. A space that does not require you to explain yourself or translate your truth.

Hi, I’m She’Hetia. I work with young adults navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, identity exploration, mood regulation, self-doubt, trauma, and the quiet weight of feeling unseen in systems not built with them in mind. Over time, these experiences can shape how we see ourselves, wear down our confidence, and pull us further from who we truly are. Whether you’re stepping into therapy for the first time or returning after a pause, it’s completely natural to feel unsure of where to begin. Here, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Are clipboards, cardigans and "...So how does that make you feel?" not your thing? It's not really mine either. Times have changed and the world is a crazy place right now. You or your child/teen are just trying to hold it together, while checking off the list of things you have to get done. It's hard to listen to yourself and regulate your thoughts and emotions when there is always something else to do and someone else in your ear with more to add to the list. It's irritating, overwhelming and frustrating. You have to work through things to get to what you know and feel is just on the other side of overwhelm. Your peace.

Change may not be easy, and you don't have to be alone in your journey. I work with children, teens, adults, and parents seeking change.

Hello, and welcome. I believe one of the most important aspects of therapy is prioritizing a collaborative, compassionate, and safe environment. I like to take a client-centered approach, making sure you are in charge of your goals but supporting you as you work to achieve them. Everyone has unique experiences and needs that I believe should be considered when it comes to therapy. I have a background in child welfare and development but have worked in a variety of settings.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
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.
