Sometimes we get to a place in our lives where we feel lost, stagnant, and wondering what’s next. Having to deal with everyday life challenges can be difficult and hard to tackle alone. If you have difficulties due to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, lack of motivation, adjusting to life's challenges, and overall desiring change, I am here to help. My goal as a therapist is to meet you where you are and help you to develop coping strategies to get you where you want to be.

Let’s be honest. People don't care what you know until they know that you care. I have been in your position before. Shuffling through profiles with uncertainty of if I would finally find someone who understands and can help. My empathy derives from being where you are before. We all face stumbling blocks in life. Noticing unhealthy relationship patterns? Interested in coping skills and boundary setting? Have you experienced trauma? Had difficulties moving forward due to grief/loss? Together, we can process concerns and meet realistic goals. There is no time better than now to become a better version of yourself.

For the past several years, I've had the privilege of treating clients experiencing a variety of issues, most often related to depressive and anxiety disorders (including OCD). I seek to build a positive and supportive rapport with all of my patients, whether they are seeking short-term solution-focused or longer-term treatment. I intend to help my patients to discover and learn how to utilize the tools that will allow them to have a better and happier life and healthier functioning overall.

There may come a time when a person may get stuck in life or their relationship. Whether you experience difficulty coping with daily challenges, navigating through a troubled relationship or experiencing the aftermath of an ended relationship, managing conflict or inner turmoil can be difficult to navigate, causing you to question how to get from your place of pain to return to a place of inner peace and happiness. At such times, the need for a trained professional may be necessary to help you get from where you are to where you want to be. Trained by Dr. Twine, our therapists are here to help you with your counseling needs.

I don't believe in having an "ideal client," but rather subscribe to Irvin Yalom's idea that the client/clinician relationship is one of "fellow travelers." Therefore, I view it as my responsibility to meet the client where they are in order to begin a journey in which their needs and strengths indicate the direction of therapy. I create a space in which my diverse client-base is inspired to be as truthful and expressive as possible and in which we can begin to pay attention to the client's deepest voice. Moving toward feeling and through repression is crucial to my work, and I believe lasting growth begins here.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist my speciality is working with African American and minority women, teen girls, couples and blended families. If you are looking for a safe, non-judgmental space for healing to begin Focus Therapy Clinic is the place. Working through a questionable time in your life as a women? Battling to understand your feelings and thoughts of self doubt as a teen? Or understanding the unspoken and unclear dynamics of a blended family? It is my mission to offer a comfortable, non-judgmental, culturally sensitive atmosphere as everyone has their own unique story to tell.

Life affects us all in a variety of ways, but it’s how we respond to those experiences that determine the type of person we are. Some of those experiences can be painful and traumatic. Truthfully, healing is painful as well, but what is most detrimental is holding on to that pain and trauma. Taking a step in your healing process takes courage. Being here on this page, shows that you’re taking that step towards internal peace and healing. Your experiences contribute to the layers of who you are, however, those layers don't have to become walls and they don't have to linger on in your everyday existence.

When you can resolve internal and external conflict and challenges such as anxiety and depression, it builds self-confidence and trust. As a client I want you to acknowledge, validate and identify your own experiences and emotions without judgment. It is essential that you are able to create a new narrative to begin a process of accountability, growth, and healing. It is important that you are being seen, heard, and valued. As you begin your journey, you will begin to identify your main issues such as grief and loss, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, mood disorders, behavior, conflict, boundaries, and other issues.

We are all humans with human experiences and challenges. Are you finding yourself sometimes feeling misunderstood by others and feeling like you have to wear a mask to hide who you really are?

Empowering individuals toward real change.  Life is difficult sometimes with family, friends, work and personal issues etc. Unfortunately, not everyone wants to hear about your problems or have your best interest at heart. Everyone has their own unique identity and experiences. Sometimes we need to understand what brought us to this point in life. Your issues don't define who you are.
