Are you grieving the loss of someone you love? Are you lost and unable to find “normal”? Do you feel like you are swimming against a tide that is pulling you under? Or are you doing fine, but there’s something bothering you, deep down? Do upsetting and distressing memories from the past keep blocking you in the present?

I am an EMDR therapist who helps strong, independent and sensitive people get unstuck from the same rollercoaster of emotions and patterns. On your good days, you feel positive about yourself and where you're headed in life. Other times, you are weighed down by anxiety, depression, worry, and negative thoughts about yourself or something that happened to you in the past. And this impacts your work, school, or relationships. Maybe you've even gone to therapy before in the past; while it did help, you still feel stuck in a loop of negative emotions and are just ready to move forward!

Maybe you're suffering deeply with something that's been with you since you were a child or difficulties that have come up just recently. Perhaps you're not sure what's wrong, but things just don't seem quite right in your life. Considering psychotherapy is brave and a sign of your potential to heal and grow. I work in partnership with my clients to help them explore what's going on in their lives, how they're thinking and feeling about those things, and take steps to change them.

Life can feel overwhelming and unmanageable at times. Often those feelings can seep into your relationships and daily life, creating conflict and confusion. You can begin to question your worth and value to yourself and others, and you can begin to see everything through the lens of those feelings. The ways in which you try to cope with those feelings are often linked to experiences in your past, and they are likely keeping you from creating the fulfilling and meaningful present you desperately want.

Living with a marginalized identity means becoming familiar with the space in-between. As a neurodivergent Black female therapist, I know just how creative you have to be to exist in a world that was not created with you in mind. My work recognizes the systems that you are up against & leverages the healing powers of art, community and humor to help you process big emotions, facilitate deeper self-awareness, strengthen your relationships and navigate life’s transitions in creative, holistic ways. My mission is not just to hold space, but to also provide tools to help you make sense of the gray areas & live the life you truly want.

As we all know, starting therapy can be frightening, but I am so happy that you are taking the first step. Life is something that brings a wide spectrum of different emotions and experiences, which varies for each unique individual. Along this road of life, some may find themselves needing some extra support. My aim is to provide a safe, compassionate, and authentic space to feel seen and understood, while unpacking present and past experiences.
