Welcome! Thank you for having the courage to seek a therapist! I work with individuals who have experienced mild to severe levels of trauma with a single diagnosis to comorbid diagnoses, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder , Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Bipolar 1 Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, Borderline Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Attention Hyperactive Deficit Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, etc. Their needs are to be listened to, validated, and understood. They want to feel genuinely accepted. They want to live life to the fullest. Their goals are to receive the care needed to assist with improving quality of life.

I harbor a profound passion for supporting those within the infertility and pregnancy loss community, aiding individuals dealing with the grief of losing loved ones, including cherished pets. My expertise also extends to assisting individuals contending with complex trauma through EMDR therapy, and I work with children dealing with anxiety disorders as well as anger management.

Are you seeking help for a child with emotional or behavioral issues? Is your child anxious or stressed? If so, please give me a call. Your child is unique and deserves the chance to reach their full potential. Behavior issues, trouble adjusting to divorce, parent/child conflict, or a history of trauma and abuse can make life difficult for kids. I specialize in working with children ages 11 and younger, personalizing treatment to each child's unique needs. When treating a child, I always work with parents or guardians, as well, as this is the most effective way to help your child.

I am glad you are here and taking time to invest in yourself. I specialize in working with people with a background of trauma, including sexual trauma and religious trauma. I have experience in working in areas of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and executive functioning, anxiety, depression, grief, posttraumatic stress disorder, racial and ethnic identity, women’s issues, and youth mental health. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming. As a Black woman, I enjoy helping other people of color heal from racialized trauma and realize they are enough.

Sometimes life can be challenging. It can help to have someone listen to your situation and assist in finding solutions and/or tools to get through some of those challenges.

Now more than ever children and families are feeling overwhelmed about overcoming difficulties in their day to day lives. I am here to help!

We're all faced with challenges, big and small. Sometimes these grow to overpower and overwhelm us. The adults, children, and families I work with say that I help them feel heard, valued, comfortable, and that I provide a safe place to explore options and pick the right solutions.

Life is hard. Family is hard. Raising kids is hard. You want someone who can help when everything in your daily life is affected, including our thoughts, emotions and resulting behaviors.

We have many clinicians at all locations that are experienced and ready to help, including affordable options.

My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that you know yourself best. In therapy, I am not the expert on your life; you are. I will serve as a guide as you work through the messy, raw, and unfiltered areas of your life. Together, we will discuss and implement strategies to make your burdens feel lighter. My wild hope for you is that you go forward with the skills and confidence to thrive. I am also trained in EMDR. This is a modality that provides people the opportunity to heal from challenging and traumatic experiences.

Is your young child struggling with big emotions? These can be tantrums that seem impossible to calm, anxiety separating from caregivers, or acting withdrawn and not like themselves? Is your family experiencing big transitions like divorce, moving, or a new sibling? It can be overwhelming and heartbreaking watching our children struggle without being sure how to help them cope.

My passion is families, the building block upon which society is built. By healing families, we heal the world. I specialize in couples therapy, which improves not only the couple but the entire family as a result. I specialize in working with teenagers, helping them with depression, social anxiety, and life coaching. I specialize in treating trauma, a taxing burden that no one should have to carry through life, a burden that sadly so often goes untreated.
