Summary:

"Dr. Cirleen DeBlaere works with a middle-aged, African American woman experiencing gender and racial discrimination in the workplace. The client describes multiple "brick walls" that prevent her from obtaining a job, despite her academic credentials, previous job experience, and indisputable passion for the field. Specifically, she shares her challenges of procuring a job in the construction field due to typical gender roles. At times, she feels angry, helpless, and depressed, but largely relies on her persistence and future entrepreneurial goals to persevere. Dr. DeBlaere listens empathically, validates her experience, contextualizes it within the greater system, and gently challenges her to take ownership of her feelings. Furthermore, Dr. DeBlaere addresses the interaction of her being both African American and female, allowing the client space to explore the intersection of her identities"
