Deep wounds of unprocessed trauma, personal grief, life transition, recovery from narcissistic abuse, or unexpected medical disorders are life-altering. Medical professionals, first responders, caregivers, and family members of those with chronic illnesses often carry the trauma bound to their profession or life circumstances. The outcome is often marred by anger, apathy, denial, helplessness, hopelessness, unyielding worry, emptiness, loneliness, and isolation, a relentless cascade of emotions. Trauma mars all aspects of life. I would love to meet you where you are and sit with you until you recognize and find yourself again.

I am a virtual Licensed Clinical Social Worker therapist in CA, SC and AK, I utilize a relatively active therapeutic modality. For the client, this means that we participate in discussions and explorations. Trauma or other painful emotional experiences can lead to overwhelming emotions in “utter aloneness”; undoing that aloneness through a supportive and encouraging relationship with your therapist is key to healing. Many therapists focus on what is wrong with a person; I focus on what is right and potentially transformative.

On the outside people see you as "put together" because you're gritty and tough even when you don't feel it. Yet inside its impossible to narrow down your symptoms to one category because you feel ALL of the things, maybe even all at the same time. Confusion, stress, pain, heartbreak, fear, loneliness, sadness and anger are your normal. Because when you've experienced hard, difficult things in your life, those feelings ARE normal. You're tired of "faking" being ok as life has become overwhelming. When was the last time you felt confident and present, able to be ENOUGH for yourself and others? Maybe its time to feel that again.

You never imagined facing this kind of loss. The grief of what could have been is overwhelming. Confusion, shock, and fear have wrapped themselves around your body and held you in place. “How can I move on from this?” you ask. Your world came to an abrupt halt, so you’ve been falling behind. While everyone else seems to keep living their lives, you’re frozen. You don’t see how there is any way out of this anger and sadness. You’ve tried numbing yourself or keeping yourself distracted, but it doesn’t help. The hollowness has left you with no idea how to proceed into a life you didn’t want. After all, this was not the plan.

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.
