Trauma hurts. It can be sudden, life-altering and overwhelming, or chronic, subtle and nearly unnoticeable, but either way it can change the way we think about others, the world, and unfortunately, ourselves. Dealing with the aftermath—changes in our relationships, lashing out toward self or others, feeling nothing and/or everything all at once—is sometimes as hard as the initial event, especially when society, friends and family and our own minds tell us to “just get over it.” Worse, sometimes we aren’t even sure where the trauma came from in the first place, leaving us confused and even feeling hopeless.

Often, there is a point in life where we are unhappy with the status quo: our relationships are confusing and don’t satisfy; conflict seems inevitable and we aren’t functioning to our God-given potential. Perhaps that is why you are here, searching for a therapist. I understand that it is scary to start therapy but I will do my best to make you feel safe and comfortable. My approach is pretty simple. Most us of have patterns of thought and assumptions that were instilled in us as children, patterns that we don’t know how to change. Beneath that, lies the paralyzing fear that we can’t change.

If we are being honest, change can be a scary thing to approach. Yet I would argue that we all have areas of our lives that we would like to change or improve. Sometimes we simply want to understand ourselves better, sometimes we want to improve our relationships, and still other times we have serious concerns with our mood, anxiety, or current behavioral patterns. I use a personable, relatable approach to therapy to assist in navigating some of the discomfort inherent in the therapeutic process. This is a place of non-judgement, and I am open and accepting of all persons and identities.

Spiritual/Religious abuse & trauma have similar components to childhood attachment trauma, so I work with both populations. The guilt, shame, isolation, fear of abandonment, and rejection may look like codependence, relationship avoidance, anxiety, and depression. You have difficulty trusting in relationships or find yourself drawn to other emotionally unavailable people. You've lost sight of who you are. There's a root, and my goal is to help you heal that root so you can see yourself differently and connect with others from a healthier mindset, thus engaging in healthier relationships. Find your confidence, your inner self.

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.
