Have you been feeling overwhelmed lately? You're here because it's time to talk to someone, and you're ready to find some relief. Struggling means you're human, you’re feeling things and you’re trying your best. I can help you with the extra support you need and teach you how to be there for yourself in the midst of huge challenges. My clients often come to me saying that they beat themselves up for feeling bad, adding insult to injury, and they find relief once we are able to shift this process towards more self-love and acceptance.

Life can be full of joy, even with all the stress of the day to day. Working towards building skills to support a life worth living is the main goal I have for my clients. I love working with couples who are trying hard to make things work and keep experiencing conflict. Using the Gottman method, I help to give specific skills to apply to their relationship and end the gridlock. I also really enjoy teens who are struggling with finding their way. They hold a special place in my heart and I love seeing them grow and feel more confident in who they are.

My goal in therapy is to help teens and young adults gain the skills needed to live their best life. Life can be very stressful and depressing for teens and young adults, who many times do not feel they have any control over their lives. I believe it is important to look at the whole person, their feelings, beliefs, concerns, dreams and desires. I attended high school in Liberia, West Africa and have traveled a lot which has given me a great respect for people and different cultures, and allows me a good understanding of the many ways mental health issues are handled around the world. I identify as Hitchiti, Creek Indian and Irish.

Family dynamics are often complicated and difficult. While we often find comfort and stability within our family, it is all too common to experience problems that we’re just not quite prepared to address. Parents may feel unsure of themselves or overwhelmed by increasing demands on their time and attention. Children and teens may struggle to feel they can open up with their parents for several reasons. Communication breaks down and the family that once felt so close knit is starting to drift apart. While we know we need help, it can be difficult to take that first step and reach out.

If you're reading this, I want you to know how courageous it is that you've already taken the first step: asking for help. It's something no one wants to do, but I've been there, and it can be the change you need to live the life you were meant to. Being vulnerable and brave enough to tell your story is tough. But getting you to the place where you can actually own your story, and maybe even write a new ending, is totally worth it.

To contact me please EMAIL so I can quickly find & see your message (with many SPAM business calls VM is harder to notice & you are important)!
