I believe your well being is all about you - your progress, your presence, your potential, and your peace. The pace of life can be hectic and often disorienting even for the healthiest person. We all bump up against obstacles and events that cause us to pause, reflect and assess the road we are traveling. Sometimes the moment is brief. At other times it is protracted and complicated. I'm here to explore life's turns and detours so that, together, we may restore these moments for a useful purpose.

I work within BIPOC communities on navigating difficulties with ethnic and/or racial identity, past & present family dynamics, mood-related concerns, interpersonal relationships, neurodiversity, and overall emotional regulation. Through the years, I have seen how a safe therapeutic relationship creates space to explore one's self, family, and larger system in order to relearn ways of navigating life with culturally-informed self-determination. I use eclectic therapy to weave together different approaches that create a custom-tailored treatment plan according to each person's needs, backgrounds, strengths, goals, and more.

You open your eyes in the morning and you’re filled with dread. Another day where you don’t feel like doing anything. You just want to lay in bed for the next few hours hoping to feel better, hoping to feel more energized and hopeful about life. Doing simple things like brushing your teeth or taking a shower feel daunting to you. It’s like you’re moving through mud and everything takes so much effort. It's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You know there’s a way out you just haven’t been able to figure it out yet.

As complex beings, we are created to synergistically function in wholeness in our spirit, soul, and body. When our souls are wounded by negative life experiences, we begin to believe lies about ourselves, the world around us, and God. This leads to the compounding of various negative symptomatic behaviors and thoughts, fueled by a corrupted belief system. It is in the uprooting of these lies through the Spirit of Truth that we find freedom and wholeness, while discovering our created value and purpose this side of Heaven.

My success in providing treatment comes from my honesty & genuine interest in my clients. I am empathic, nurturing, & warm. I bring levity to the consultation room as it allows us to feel connected & creates/fosters secure attachments while exploring concerns, personal histories, fears, etc... This builds meaningful & caring relationships and creates trusting bonds amongst myself & my clients. When these bonds develop it allows clients to experience healthier, more fulfilling lives. Through the therapeutic process of establishing & exploring boundaries we learn to better understand & resolve the conflicts & traumas holding us back.
