Hey there! I’m a bicultural second-gen Latina passionate about working with other bicultural and minoritized clients as they explore their identity and break harmful generational cycles, especially within the context of first and second gen Latine experiences. I work with adults experiencing major life changes, anxiety, and stress. Together, we'll dive deep into your concerns, whether they stem from your family of origin, parental relationships, childhood environment, or the impacts of sexual and domestic violence. We'll also tackle that little voice inside your head, helping you reshape your self-talk into something empowering.

Do you sometimes worry if who you are is "wrong," stuck focusing on harmful messages or unrealistic expectations? Do you feel a little lost in who you are and what you want, then find thinking about it gets overwhelming? If there are times when life feels heavy or you feel like hiding away until you're "put together," you are not alone. It helps to have a space to put life's many complexities aside - to take the rules, systemic barriers, and needs of yourself and others, put them all down, breathe, and unpack. Looking for that space is a big step. I'm here to create that space with you.

Do you feel stuck and find it difficult to find joy and purpose? Do you find it challenging to show up as your authentic self? Are you struggling with understanding and parenting adolescent children? Through therapy, I can provide you with the tools needed to work through obstacles and unlearn behavior patterns that may no longer be serving you. Couples - Are you seeking to enhance intimacy in your relationship, resolve conflicts, and/or improve communication? Together, we will collaborate to find solutions and identify strengths in your relationship, leveraging them to overcome barriers and enhance satisfaction.

“Trauma” happens when a situation or an event overwhelms a person’s ability to cope, when the mind, the body, or the spirit shuts down or goes offline in order to get through the moment. Amazingly, while we may not have clear and whole memories of the event, the mind, the body, and the spirit have a memory of their own. Because of this, we can develop ways of seeing, relating, and experiencing the world that make life difficult. These difficulties can range from anxiety and depression to flashbacks or dissociation. They can make it harder to trust people, God or oneself. And it can leave you feeling lost or without purpose in life.

I am passionate about helping neurodivergent-identifying folx navigate a world designed by and for a neurotypical brain. I am an ardent advocate for neurodiversity and view ADHD as a brain style. My focus, through empirically supported coaching and solution-focused counseling, is to transform “disorder” into an asset. I partner with my clients to develop skills that compensate for the difficult parts of their diagnosis, while celebrating the amazing qualities of their neurodivergent brain.

Are you searching for a way to feel better, to feel good enough? Maybe you are longing to love and accept yourself, to feel secure within yourself? You might realize that work, relationships, and/or overindulging in food or alcohol is not doing the trick. Dealing with ongoing family issues, sadness from loss, comparing yourself to your friends, and always putting yourself last might be overwhelming. Maybe you hope to make peace with your past traumas and be able to move forward freely. Are you drawn toward the mind-body-spirit healing approach and ready to get to the root of your trauma and emotional pain? Do you live in CA/NC/NY?

Has finding an inclusive therapist been a challenge for you? Do you need a counselor who understands experiences around BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodiversity, ability differences, and any other wonderful traits that make you who you are? As therapists at Nour Counseling, we self-identify with historically marginalized backgrounds, and have a special passion for supporting our communities. You can come to each therapy session resting assured that your therapist recognizes how the intersection of your various identities impacts the way you experience the world and presenting concerns.

Life is full of curves. There is no one straight line to a meaningful happy life. I raised my family and then made my way back to college to finish my goal of completing graduate school. Most recently, my focus has been caring for older adults and working with teens struggling with depression, anxiety, self-harm and other mental health issues both in-person and virtual settings. I also have an advocacy background in domestic violence and sexual trauma. The process of therapy can be unpredictable, especially when you realize how strong you really are and maybe just needed a little clarity to take your next steps to a happier life!

Are you someone who had always thought therapy wasn't for you? Did it seem too fluffy and uncomfortable? And yet, you find yourself here because you are at a stuck point in life and need to make a change. Sometimes we find ourselves moving through patterns that just aren't working for us anymore, or knowing exactly what we need to do but feeling lost about how to put it into practice. If this sounds like you, I'd like to help. Email is the Preferred Method of Contact.

Life can bring waves of transition; many are excellent, and others are more complex. I enjoy partnering with older adults and their families to provide support and explore ways to improve the quality of life for all. Typical areas of exploration may include retirement, end of life, grief, loss of independence, caregiver stress, role reversal/confusion, depression, isolation, anxiety, and life inventory. I offer a holistic and client-centered approach embracing empowerment, narratives, and strengths to rebalance joy and fulfillment as life transitions.

I work with clients that range in age from 18 to 65. I am skilled and experienced in working with women and men on a wide variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief & loss, self-image and self-esteem, stress management, ADD/ADHD, life transitions, trauma, and couples & marital problems. I have special interests in depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and other mood disorders. Additionally, I am a Gottman Level 1 certified, Prepare & Enrich certified, and SYMBIS certified.

Welcome, I am so happy that you are here. I am a passionate and dedicated therapist committed to healing the deep, often hidden wounds left by absent fathers in the Black community. As a multifaceted expert, I specialize in addressing the unique challenges faced by Black teens and young women who are navigating the complexities of father wounds. My mission is to reverse the cycle of fatherlessness and empower my clients to reclaim their sense of worth and identity. My therapeutic approach is anything but conventional. I believe in the power of holistic healing, which means I look at the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

I'm not for everyone and every situation... I specialize in therapy and coaching for executives, couples, and companies who are highly motivated to get unstuck by doing a lot of work in a short period of time through in-person intensives or by secure video. I focus primarily on helping stabilize situations, create clarity about next steps, and crafting an action plan that my clients will be responsible for executing outside of the therapy or coaching relationship.

My clients consider me to be an empathic listener, a keen observer, and a calming presence. I bring a warm smile, a curious, gentle, friendly manner, a ready laugh, and a healthy self into my therapy sessions every day. I sincerely care about the people I work with and work hard to create a warm and trusting environment for clients of all ages. Forming and nurturing relationships is my strength. It's within the context of a healthy relationship that emotional and mental healing occurs. I'm trained to facilitate treatment for internet and technology compulsions and addictions including gaming, online pornography, and related issues.
