I enjoy using a holistic lens to address any present physical symptoms and CBT techniques to address your mental thought patterns to aid us in seeing the connection be tween your thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
Do you feel anxious, lonely, depressed, angry or resentful and struggle to manage your emotions? Do you constantly tell yourself “maybe I’m just an anxious/depressed person and I'm going to feel this way forever"? Do you feel powerless to change at times? Do you criticize yourself for feeling certain emotions or having certain thoughts? I know exactly what you're going through and I'm here to let you know you don't have to continue suffering any longer.

I work with all clients and specialize in the Black/Brown communities, LGBTQ population, couples, and adolescents. I value intersectionality, solutions-focused work, and holistic practices.

I believe in finding a balance be tween "why" - the threads be tween past and present and the deep roots of behavior - and "how" - now that you have this understanding, how to you take steps to really nourish yourself? I don't think you can effectively change without both understanding and experimenting with new ways of being.
Do you have an eating disorder, or complicated feelings about food? I work with people who have yo-yo-dieting, emotional eating, exercise addiction and eating disorders to find peace and freedom. My approach is direct but supportive with a good dose of humor. I offer highly individualized therapy in that I integrate approaches from CBT, ACT and mindfulness practice based upon the needs of the client.
