Are you a stressed out and overworked professional woman of color, doubting your success and your place at the table? Have micro-aggressions or discrimination beaten down your workplace self-esteem, leading to anxiety and depressed mood? On paper, you’re qualified. But, for some reason, you find yourself questioning the smallest decision. You were excited when you got the offer letter, but now you feel inadequate and dread heading to work. Your self-doubt is constantly whispering, sometimes yelling, you aren’t good enough, you will never feel competent. Sound like you? Keep reading to learn how I can help.

My therapeutic approach is client-centered, focusing on creating a safe and empathetic environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. I primarily utilize Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide my practice. MI helps clients resolve ambivalence and build motivation for change, while Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clients' strengths and future goals. CBT addresses negative thought patterns and behaviors, fostering healthier coping mechanisms and emotional regulation.

With 39 years of experience working in a variety of mental health settings, there is not much I have not heard. I have learned that most of the stress of life's challenges comes from our perspective and the choices we make based on it. Sometimes this can lead to frustration, anxiety, or depression. When we change our perspective, we find choices and solutions we hadn't considered before. Changing perspective is not easy. I use a variety of skills to assist people in successfully managing life's challenges and developing their own skills to live life effectively and joyfully.

Everyone experiences feelings of anxiety, disappointment or sadness from time to time. You may be struggling with relationships, your career or perhaps you are coping with a loss or life transition. Overcoming life's challenges can be difficult. Although challenging, these difficulties are treatable. Making the decision to contact a therapist to get help is not easy, but an important first step to feeling better. Finding a highly trained, experienced "results-oriented" therapist who you feel comfortable working with is critical. For the past 20 years I have been providing psychotherapy here in the US and internationally.

Is your child or teen dealing with anxiety, OCD, or depression? Do they feel frustrated, sad, stuck, irritable, and lonely? Symptoms like poor school performance, family conflicts, weak peer ties, and physical issues (e.g., stomachaches, headaches, sleep problems) often indicate their struggle. They may battle repetitive negative thoughts, suggesting impending doom, inadequacy, or harm, causing distress. These challenges not only hurt the child but also disrupt family harmony, leaving parents heartbroken.
