Not accepting new clients
It can seem difficult at times to seek help but it can also be the bravest move you make. Our stories are never finished and we can keep writing new chapters and going in new directions with a little bit of guidance. Whether we are stuck because of current stressors or struggling due to life-long obstacles, it is never a bad time to ask for help and work through them. My goals are to inspire clients to write a more meaningful story according to their values and beliefs.

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try, you are unable to see yourself as more than a body? That diet culture is so deeply ingrained in our society that it feels impossible to escape? You are not alone. We live in a world that has convinced us that pursuing an unrealistic thin ideal is the key to happiness. That if we "work hard enough," that void we constantly feel, will eventually go away. That's why my goal is to help you reach a place of acceptance so that you can experience a more fulfilling life, free from diet culture and the toxicity that ensues.

I have always had a passion for helping people- but it took me a while to find the field I am most passionate about. I discovered counseling as my future career when I was working as an EMT, and witnessing some of the most difficult situations and their simultaneous mental health concerns. This allowed me to have access to vast experiences with different populations, and see and appreciate humanity’s resilience and compassion. I am in the counseling field to make a difference for people- except this time I’m focusing on individual mental health.

Sistas, how y’all feel? Brothas, y’all alright? As an African-American female, I’ve experienced firsthand the challenges that my community faces. I understand the stigma surrounding mental health, but let me clarify for the people in the back: seeking therapy does not make you weak. You don’t have to ‘be strong’ or ‘push through’ like our elders did. And what happens in your house doesn't have to stay there if it’s hurting you!

Meaningful connection is essential for every human being to belong and to feel safe. When you start to lose this connection, you may start to feel the pull of your anxiety carrying you away in its wave of damaging and critical thoughts. You start to feel overcome with too many conflicting emotions that it becomes harder to make any decisions. You may even feel disconnected with your loved ones, where you can no longer communicate, and you start to believe that you are no longer compatible, while still hoping and longing to be close to one another. It is an exhausting push-pull cycle.

Taking that first step is huge and finding the right therapist fit is important. I am passionate about helping adult clients navigate life’s stressors. Many of my clients struggle with identifying and validating their emotional experiences, which impacts all areas of their lives. I work collaboratively with my clients as they learn to cope with life changes, relationship struggles, grief and loss, and complex family relationships. As you learn to better understand yourself and your current coping style, we will work together to develop new strategies to support the struggles that brought you to therapy.

I am a Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist in the Heights for 20+ years, trained in cognitive-behavioral & psycho-dynamic approaches. If a deeper understanding of a problem is desired, a psycho-dynamic approach focuses on understanding past family and relationships and patterns allowing for self-growth. In practical issues of changing behavior and/or learning a new approach, a cognitive behavioral approach assesses desired behavior changes, obstacles and strengths to obtain goals. In both approaches, I ask questions in a safe and cooperative style that allows for new perspectives and growth. This is especially helpful in couples therapy.

Many of us fear the idea of sharing our struggles or pain with others for fear of judgment or rejection. My goal for myself is to create an honest, open space for my clients. I will strive to help gain perspective, actively listen, nurse heart wounds, introduce new coping skills, challenge false beliefs/thought processes, and help my clients reach their goals. I desire that my clients be equipped with tools and the confidence to face the ups and downs in life. In the end, to work myself out of a job is a success and my goal.

You wear a lot of hats in your life and carry the burden of responsibility for your family, for your partner, for your kids, for your colleagues. Over time, all of your hats have somehow softened your voice and have you feeling like you've lost who you are. You do a lot in your life out of duty, but you don't know how to balance that duty with who you want to be and the things you want to do for fun. You often don't know when you can speak up and voice how you are feeling about life. You often feel guilty speaking your truth because you feel like you are committed to being a good parent and partner.
