Choosing the path towards better health is a big deal, and you should feel proud of yourself for taking the first step. The path that makes the difference may not always be clear, but I'd like the opportunity to help be your guide. Some may you must be ready for therapy and to open up. I believe that readiness is along a continuum of what you'll need along this path. You'll need willingness, commitment, and some trust among other things. This process is not linear, there will be bumps in the road, their will be bright spots too-and at Two Roads you can participate in choosing the path that's healthiest for your family and for you!

I specialize in adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, women's issues, trauma, Christian and faith-based issues, self-esteem and body image, racial identity development, career counseling/professional life concerns, and those who need support as they cope with daily life stressors.
Many things are not black-and-white, nor do they fit into perfectly sized boxes. It can be difficult to pinpoint what we're feeling or how we got to where we are in life. Are you struggling with becoming your authentic self? Do you want to cultivate and maintain healthy relationships? Are you feeling isolated or alone as you bear the weight of systemic oppression? Maybe things aren't "that bad," but you want to talk to someone? I know what it means to live in the gray areas of life, and I'm here for you.

As a biracial therapist, I am particularly interested in racial identity and multiracial families.
My work is built on the belief that people naturally want to heal and grow; sometimes we just need someone to help us channel those instincts for change. We need a space to hear our thoughts outside of our heads, a space to observe and examine our feelings and what we hold true about ourselves. You are the expert in your life, and the question I ask myself as a therapist is how can I provide a space and relationship that you can use for personal growth. Some of the most important values that I focus on bringing to that relationship are trust, openness, and curiosity.

In therapy, my goal is to help you tap into the resources that already exist within you. I believe you possess wisdom, resilience, sound judgment, compassion for yourself and others, and other strengths that can be refined or rediscovered through the process of therapy. I also believe that authentic human connection is the primary conduit of healing in therapy, so I strive to make our work relational - not just symptom focused. While I feel equipped to meet the needs of most people who seek my help, I find that I’m most energized when I’m working with someone who is open-minded, motivated, and invested in the therapy process.
