Mental Illness and Addiction rob us of our hopes and dreams. It touches all areas of our life, harming ourselves, our parents, partners, and children. At times life feels hopeless. Even the idea of change seems unattainable. To treat mental illness and addiction or substance use disorders you address a host of emotions, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, life issues, and existential struggles. I have spent the last 17 years of my career helping individuals, couples, and families heal from mental illness and substance use disorders and making this moment a leaping off event to their next journey.

These days, it feels like you’re always on edge. In truth anything can set you off, so many days end with quiet tears in your bed or completely losing it with your partner and family … again. Yet there are times you just feel so completely disconnected and empty: not sure if you care too much or too little. You probably hide it well, others may even look up to you but inside feel like a mess- overwhelmed and tired. Spending so much time worrying and overthinking about everything but nothing changes. You expect better from yourself, you've faced hard challenges before. It feels like no matter what you do, you let everyone down.

Reaching out can be the most challenging task to engage in. Constant changes and life transitions can leave us feeling disconnected and overwhelmed. Relationships can feel strained with our partners, friends, family and even ourselves. Creating space to navigate these life impacts is one way I seek to help clients.

I consider myself to be a compassionate and dedicated Holy Spirit lead psychologist, founder and president of Sagacity Global Psych & Associates. I combine Biblical principles and expertise in psychology to address the psychological needs of my clients. I enjoy working with older adolescents and adults who may be survivors of trauma and abuse, and those dealing with depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, relationship challenges, stress management, Christian spiritual concerns, racial identity development, and/or systemic racism.

My counseling services are geared towards the development of awareness and self-compassion. I counsel teens and adults who are struggling with trauma, PTSD, relationship issues, depression, anxiety and life transitions. My passion is to support you during this journey of self-awareness and emotional healing as you improve your quality of life. I am suited to clients who live in marginalized spaces, as we have unique challenges from mainstream society, whether that be due to ethnicity, gender, sexuality, size, hidden and obvious disabilities, class, and the many other ways that people are discriminated against.

I’ve learned a lot in community mental health, working with individuals that are depressed, anxious, suicidal. Many causes are external, either through relationships or past events, but some are internal, through biology and self-concept. I hope to help people discover themselves and how to accept themselves for who they are. I’m available Mondays and Wednesdays by telehealth and Tuesdays in person.

I encourage, support, and facilitate the process of personal growth and change. I believe in straightforward and honest communication. My clients generally describe me as caring, empathetic, and down to earth. I have experience working with adults, children, adolescents, families, and couples, both in the U.S. and abroad. I am trained in a number of therapies, including Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioral, and Client Centered, and have additional training in bipolar disorders, substance abuse, DBT, crisis intervention, and is an EMDR certified therapist.

I am currently only accepting inquires for LLPC supervision, please send me an email to discuss how I may be able to assist you in meeting licensure requirements and your career goals. Some people will never understand what it is like to be raised by parents who don’t see you. The pain you feel when they put everything and everyone before you. How small and invisible it made you feel when they ignore the love you have for them and choose “it” instead. The “it” could have been drugs, partners, friends, siblings, work, etc…no matter what you did they never seemed to choose you.

As you know, life's twists and turns can take you by surprise. Talking to a counselor may give you the perspective of what hasn't been working in the past and how you want to see your future. During sessions, together, we listen to the past but look at moving forward. Many of the issues in my office consist of those with depression, anxiety, trauma (ex. rape and abuse), and grief and loss. I take a mixed theory approach using Client Centered (Rogerian) theory, Cognitive Behavioral Theory as well as Solution Focus theory.

My goal as your therapist is to provide a safe, affirming space where we can work collaboratively to identify current areas in which you are struggling, decrease your negative symptoms, and improve your overall quality of life. Using your individual strengths, needs, and preferences, we will formulate a personalized plan for your therapy experience. I have worked with many adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, and challenges specific to members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
