Therapy is an intimate collaboration in self-discovery, problem solving, and empowerment. By creating a consistent safe space, I aim to cultivate a meaningful therapeutic relationship with my clients where they feel comfortable and supported. This allows us to collaboratively create tailored solutions for symptom relief & personal growth. I appreciate serving folks who deal with anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and intergenerational trauma. I work with my clients to uncover how patterns of past unresolved conflict may be unconsciously repeated and disruptive to their current well-being and interpersonal relationships.
My job is to help you facilitate this journey of self-healing and discovery. I see myself in the passenger seat navigating us to your goals using an eclectic approach of CBT, DBT, ACT, EFT, Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I use culturally-sensitive and trauma-informed care to hold space that invites you to bring your authentic self.
As a first-generation African American woman, I aim to practice social-justice oriented & LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, using an individualized approach for each client. If you find yourself feeling stuck, misunderstood, or repeating unhelpful patterns & self-sabotaging behaviors you can't seem to stop, I welcome you to email me for a free 15-min consultation.
