Are you desperately trying to reconnect with your partner after experiencing infidelity in your relationship? Maybe you have underlying childhood trauma that has impacted your close relationships, especially how you relate to your partner? Or maybe your life has been fractured by addiction and you're struggling to find emotional equilibrium. Even though you’re committed to saving your relationship or, perhaps, have quit using substances, you may still feel like you haven’t addressed the core issues that keep you stuck. If only you knew how to truly connect with yourself, you could move your life in a more positive direction.

Are you an adolescent or young adult—or the concerned parent of one—who struggles to cope with academic and social pressures? Perhaps underlying trauma has manifested into anxiety, depression, substance abuse, or other self-harming behaviors that interfere with their ambitions and dreams for the future. Taking a brain-based approach to therapy, my passion is helping teens and young adults work through difficult experiences to learn how to thrive instead of survive and get their lives back on a positive trajectory. As someone who has worked at my own healing, I've experienced how powerful and life-changing healing from trauma can be.

I believe that each person is born with incredible strengths that are sometimes buried through their interpretation of life events and personal struggles. We can become anxious, depressed, angry or overwhelmed, while dreaming of the way we really want to live and express ourselves. I can honestly say that each of you has the potential to uncover your true self; to find contentment, self-worth and self-growth. The journey can be rough, at times, but I would like to walk alongside the path with you as you re-discover your dynamic self and achieve your personal goals.

You are a strong, accomplished woman, but the weight of your past still lingers. As a professional woman of color, you've navigated the challenges of life with resilience, yet the scars of childhood trauma sometimes feel like they hold you back from living fully. You might find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, or a sense of disconnection from who you truly are. Know this: you are not alone, and there is a path to healing. My practice is dedicated to helping women like you—women who have survived developmental and sexual trauma, and who are ready to reclaim their lives from the grip of PTSD.

Sometimes life can be difficult and getting help from a professional can be beneficial. I approach therapy as a collaborative process aimed at helping clients find their own way to the changes they desire. Within the context of each person's life, I seek to help clients integrate various aspects of mind and body to heal and enrich their lives. I create an environment where you will feel emotionally safe to talk freely about all aspects of your life.

There can be times when it seems our bodies, or minds, or even or world are betraying us. The human experience itself can be difficult. Introduce chronic fear, depression, intrusive thoughts, or anxiety and it can be difficult to see ways to change, making things even more overwhelming. We will work together to see how you can find your footing and create a more beneficial perspective and hopefully impact your future. I am most versed in treatment of depression, anxiety, OCD/related, trauma, substance use (alcohol, marijuana, other behavioral i.e., food, sex, etc.), couples, and men’s issues; LGBTQ+ ally.

Limited weekday daytime availability. Please email me to inquire. Sometimes, one's natural tendency toward growth and self-healing can become overwhelmed. In these cases, one's resilience can falter, and it can be difficult to resolve emotional or psychological pain by yourself, or to figure out how to move in the direction you want to go. Collaborating with a trusted counselor eases the process of developing new perspectives and improving interpersonal relationships. My goal is to work with you to alleviate distress, identify strengths, improve well-being, and facilitate personal growth, agency, and empowerment.

Does your life feel stagnant, as if you’ve come to a dead end and you can’t progress any further? Maybe you’re in a relationship that’s hit a wall—communication has broken down and you and your partner just aren’t on the same page anymore. Or perhaps you’re recovering from an addiction and you find yourself struggling with sobriety. Amid your challenges, the idea of change may seem impossible. You might feel depressed, anxious, and stuck. If this is the case, I want you to know that change is possible even though it might not look like that right now. You do not have to be alone in this journey.

Are you struggling to cope with the effects of trauma or other stressful life events? Are feelings of anxiety and depression preventing you from living a full and meaningful life? People often search for strategies to find relief from their symptoms, but discover that these techniques are of limited use or create their own problems. I specialize in evidence-based psychotherapy for adults with these conditions - that is, therapy that has been extensively studied through years of psychological research.

Relationships. We never really explicitly learn how to "do" this whole relationship thing, at least not in school. Are there rules for relationships? How about guidelines to help guide us? We know about general advice like when your aunt sits you down at the family reunion reminding you to just "be yourself," but how helpful are these generalities? If you're baffled, confused, frustrated, or simply wish you had a better relationship, you're not alone. In fact, you're part of the majority. And based on neuroscience, attachment theory, and ancient wisdom, you can improve and experience a better relationship.
