We all have trials and tribulations we face in life, that does not mean we need to face them alone. I'm a firm believer that the compassion and aid of another can do wonders in navigating life when one is going through a challenging time. Throughout my time as a Therapist I have learned that people possess all the tools needed to solve their own problem, though sometimes lack the knowledge in how to use them. I believe that people grown and overcome the hurdles of life when they have a safe space to go and can struggle without fear of judgment. If you are looking for a place and person who can offer this contact me today.

Discussing your mental health should be an ongoing conversation. While it can be nerve-racking, it's important to identify someone you feel comfortable with to start the conversation.

My ideal client is someone with a history of anxiety or depression looking for a provider who uses a mindfulness perspective to help with stress management skills. They want a judgement-free space to process emotions and help identify their inner voice while being monitored for safety. This inner voice serves as a compass in guiding the individual to understand what they need in times of difficulty. In turn, they develop a stronger relationship with themselves while increasing resilience. They achieve their goals of developing or sharpening tools they already possess to manage stress and progress in self realization.

Serious Inquiries Only… Life, at times can make us feel overwhelmed, lost and stuck. When we experience traumatic and life changing events the feeling of survival can take over our ability to " live in the moment". By impacting our view on life and identity. The residue that trauma leaves on our emotional, mental, physical and spiritual state can make it difficult to navigate daily. I believe in providing guidance and support to help unlearn false beliefs, self- sabotaging behaviors and patterns to create healthier relationships and live in your authentic truth.

Black and African American Therapists
As an African American, why might I wish to see a therapist who is African American?
African American clients may seek out African American therapists for several reasons, foremost being a sense of cultural understanding and the possibility of shared experiences. Cultural sensitivity and context on the part of the therapist may make it easier to form a therapeutic alliance and to focus on the work of therapy without the need to explain or educate a therapist on cultural matters. It may also be empowering to work with a therapist who shares one’s racial or ethnic background. It is important to note that a therapist who demonstrates cultural sensitivity can be highly effective even if they do not share a client’s background or race.
Can clients benefit from working with a therapist who shares their race or ethnicity?
Yes, having a therapist who shares a client’s race or ethnicity is often valuable, especially if it fosters a strong therapeutic alliance between the two. While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic effectiveness. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who has an understanding of a client’s background and perhaps also shared life experiences. It should be noted that many clients form a strong bond with their therapist regardless of their race or ethnicity. This is a personal decision, and it depends on the therapist, the client, and the connection between the two.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with African American clients?
Clients can ask therapists directly about their experience working with clients of diverse backgrounds, including with African American individuals. You may wish to inquire whether a therapist has undertaken training in cultural competence broadly, and how specifically they would ensure that their approach is sensitive to the needs of African American clients. Therapy involves honesty and trust, so it’s best for clients to share concerns about their therapist’s cultural competence at the outset. And a good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals based on the concerns you articulate.
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
It’s important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive because everyone comes to therapy with a unique background and set of experiences. Being aware of culture and cultural differences between people is important for understanding clients, as is coming to therapy with an open mind, recognizing that the therapist doesn’t necessarily understand everything and that the client can help guide the way.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Black therapists?
The directory of Black therapists includes therapists who have self-identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profile, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. In situations where the number of therapists who have identified as Black is limited, the directory will also show therapists who have undergone specific multicultural training or have extensive experience working with clients from relevant cultural backgrounds.
