Are you and your partner(s) fighting? or drifting apart? Does your mind race and keep you from sleeping, concentrating or enjoying hobbies? Do you feel so "blah" it is hard to manage your daily responsibilities? Maybe you are wandering in the fog of grief and loss, or feel overwhelmed by the demands of a big life transition. Perhaps you are struggling to care for children or aging parents. Or you might be seeking to more fully embrace your LGBTQIA+ identity or find a supportive community. Maybe you are just looking for a fresh perspective as you consider how to create a more satisfying way of life.

I believe in therapeutic relationships as a building block toward a more just future. The world changes for the better when transformed individuals spread their healing through their interactions with others. When you invite me into your process, I bring a deep commitment to our client-therapist relationship as a fulcrum for transformative change. My responsibility is to cultivate the conditions for you to lead that process of understanding and growth.

I specialize in working with teens 16+ and adults, couples, and families around marriage and divorce, co-parenting, academic, work, career, and financial issues, depression, anxiety, loss and grief, trauma and addictions.
Welcome. I believe we all have the power within us to get to the healing, healthy growth, and development we need. My particular clinical approach is based in humanistic, relational, and family systems theory, and is focused more on human potential than it is on human pathology. Prior to graduate school, I studied widely in philosophy, theology, art, literature, life sciences, and athletic performance, all of which inform my view of human nature, and human existence. What in your life would you like to be better? In our work together, I utilize the collective wisdom of the healing and growth of others to bear on the present moment.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, and difficult life transitions.
When you were younger, did you enjoy staying up all night with friends, talking about and exploring some of the fundamental mysteries of life? As an adult, do you feel like you’ve lost touch with that feeling of awe and wonder, and that life has become a stressful grind? I believe that therapy is a place where we can return to a space of curiosity and wonder to explore what fundamentally makes us human. Through this process, we can find relief from the roots of suffering and connect with something bigger than ourselves.

If you are experiencing upset in your relationship or household and crave connection and cohesion, know there is hope.
You are considering divorce and fear how it will affect your children. Or you're divorced and met someone and want to blend your families, but are worried about the difficulties that blending brings. These family transitions are full of significant challenges such as grief over the breakup of the family, confusion over stepparent roles and responsibilities, hostile co-parenting relationships, jealousy of ex- spouses or stepchildren, and more. You want happy and healthy relationships with partners, exes, children, and stepchildren. You hope for a sense of "we-ness" as a new family unit and crave peace and balance in the future.

I work with couples and individuals offering Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Somatic Experiencing (SE), and Expressive Therapies, in addition to traditional talk therapy.
Welcome to a place of support for those relationships most important to you. I offer therapy in a relational context which explores the interconnectedness between self and others. I believe this is vital to well living. When relationships are out of balance, disconnectedness can occur. By creating awareness, empowerment can be found and utilized for change. I invite you to better navigate yourself and your relations!

In working with couples, I assist in identifying core patterns which are unhealthy or destructive.
I offer my clients a compassionate, creative, and collaborative approach in their healing work. I use psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and integrative therapies encouraging my clients to find meaning in their life's journey and struggles as well as find new ways to care for the self. Although I am a generalist when it comes to working with a variety of diverse clients and issues, I also believe strongly in the mind/body connection and help my clients find ways to reconnect and find balance in their lives. This is especially helpful when dealing with grief, relationship issues, life transitions, or trauma.

I admire the courage that it takes to seek support and to start a new relationship with a therapist, and would be happy to hear from you!.
You're feeling stuck in a pattern of conflict and disconnection with the one that matters the most. You want to feel close and understood, but attempts to be close with your partner or to get your needs met often leads to disappointment or conflict. Identifying and sharing what you want and need in relationships can feel scary, so you're looking for help managing anxiety and finding the words to express yourself when it comes to what you need in your relationship. You may also have a traumatic event(s) that you know is holding you back. You're ready to process those events so you can heal.

Within my work with individuals, couples, and families, this process towards healing can be deeply vulnerable.
Whether this is the first time you're embarking on your therapy journey, or you're revisiting the search for a therapist who truly sees and understands you, this process can be so overwhelming. But you're taking this leap into therapy for a reason. Maybe you're feeling disconnected with yourself or those around you and you're ready to reimagine what your life could look like. Maybe you're ready to take the courageous step to begin healing from past emotional wounds that have been keeping you from living in the present. Maybe the weight of the world and its systemic injustices feels inescapable.

My belief is that therapy is an evolving relationship that requires on-going self-reflection as it may not always be easy on process.
As a therapist I have provided therapeutic services over the last 14+ years to clients seeking additional support, experience, and expertise surrounding issues related to intimate and family relationship dynamics. Part of my work with clients has also included understanding the impact that Acute Stress and Trauma has on our lives and exploring how our Culture and Identity inform our individual and communal decision making. In addition, clients have also sought me out to work through past unresolved issues related to foster care and adoption, and ongoing stressors related to being a Black Woman.
