Now Accepting New Clients! So...you're attracted to emotionally unavailable partners. You overgive, overcompromise, and people-please. You feel anxious when your partner isn’t with you, checking your phone every few minutes to see if they've texted. You're on an emotional roller coaster, feeling terrified of abandonment, panicked during conflict, and at other times, resentful. You struggle setting boundaries and holding them. Navigating relationships is tough as it is, but it's even harder with anxiety and ADHD. You feel too "needy" and too sensitive and too much, and you try not to show it - but sometimes you can't help it.

It is so easy to get caught up in the stress and circumstances of our lives. We sometimes begin to lose sight of the bigger picture and live life as though there are no solutions to our situations. I have worked with individuals and families who have gone through immense challenges, all of whom have inspired me to help those willing and ready to seek assistance. I am passionate about people and continue to be amazed by the courage and strength of others. I firmly believe that we all have the capacity to bring about positive changes in our lives. You do not have to go through your struggles alone. Support is available!

I have worked with families, children and teens in various roles and capacities over the past 20 years. I have assisted clients through grief and loss, crises, traumatic experiences, life transitions, and identity formation. Mixing Afrocentric and Western Social Work knowledge, skills and practices has assisted in shaping the empathy, understanding and supports I can offer clients. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time at cultural events, attending concerts and sporting events, and watching fantasy and sci fi movies and shows. I also cherish my time with friends as well as the younger and older generations of my family.

I believe that everyone has inner wisdom which can lead them towards healing. Can I help you learn to trust yourself enough to make space for your pain, shame, grief, sadness, joy, and love to be felt and explored? By being curious about your resistance to feeling, we can process and digest it. I am trained as a somatic, relational, and trauma therapist, and I can help you understand the unique ways you learned to resist or avoid parts of yourself as a way of protection. I believe that human connection is an essential part of the healing process and I prioritize my role as a human first and as a therapist second.
