There is a path toward greater mental and emotional freedom and well being in this life. Unpleasant emotions and thoughts can so easily fuel the repetitive loops of critical self-views, anxiety, and depression. Yet the human mind has the incredible capacity to be malleable, adapt, and change for the better.

Not accepting new clients
I am not accepting clients for individual therapy currently. However, my group, Nourishing The Strong Black Woman, is starting in October and is accepting inquiries! As a Black woman, you have gotten used to carrying the load intended for others, placing yourself last on your to-do list, and being strong for everyone else. You’re so afraid of disappointing others that you continue to suffer quietly despite the feelings of emptiness you experience. You keep your feelings to yourself and go about suppressing them, hoping the feelings will go away, but they won’t unless you decide to change.

Couples - Have you been working through your “stuff” but still finding yourselves in conflict? Do you KNOW it doesn’t have to be this hard but everything you try just ends in a fight anyway? I work exclusively with couples where both people have some insight into what they bring to the conflict and are psychologically-minded enough to know that it doesn’t have to be this hard. I'll help you identify patterns, develop alternative behaviors, and deeply connect; creating safe space for each of you to heal, grow, and find the support and compassion for yourself/each other to live a wholeheartedly conscious and fulfilling life together!

As a therapist, one of my favorite questions is, “How did you make it through that?” Therapy with me will dive deep into your story, your strengths, and support to heal and grow. I got my start working with families in 2015 volunteering with art therapy groups of children displaced by war and domestic violence; I've worked in schools, hospitals, and homeless shelters; and have been a practicing therapist since 2021. I work best with women with complex trauma, ADHD and/or autism—who have been told they are too much, not enough, who have had to grow up too fast, feel they don't know themselves, and who struggle to feel heard.

Did you know that the quality of a therapeutic relationship is a better predictor of clinical success rather than therapy style? I place particular emphasis on fostering that relationship while helping clients work toward their goals. In essence, we are a team trying to get you closer to where you want to be. I aspire to be your best advocate (second to yourself, of course), and whenever needed, a cheerleader. Most of my caseload is made up of long-term clients who choose to continue treatment for reasons such as: continual insight, healing, growth, and in some cases a way to guarantee regular accountability and self-introspection.

Throughout my clinical experience, I've developed a real passion for working with women and fellow therapists. I am honored to work with those who have experienced trauma, grief & loss, pregnancy & fertility issues, and those in the healing/helping professions. Each person's narrative is so unique and important, and I consider it a great privilege to help folks shift their narratives from ones of struggle & hurt to ones of strength & growth.

As a counselor, my passion is helping people find hope in their healing process. It's about making commitments to healing in order to become your best self with a partner (myself) who provides a warm, safe environment while supporting you in a non-judgmental manner. Counseling can help both children and adults develop or enhance problem-solving skills, and to cope with stress and a variety of emotional as well as behavioral issues. My goal is not to make decisions or solve individuals' problems, but to gently guide them into naturally making choices that are right for them, their children, and family.
