Welcome! I am a warm, non-judgmental and real person. One of my basic tenants is we, as people, are doing the best we can, and sometimes our conscious or subconscious "plan" to take care of ourselves is just not working anymore. Sometimes we need to develop a new “plan” but that can be difficult and we need help. The relationship with ourselves, family, friends and our community is a pillar to good health and well being. However things get in the way….like trauma, substance use, addiction, depression, anxiety, loneliness, illness, & fear. I want to support your concerns and help you improve your sense of wellbeing.

Hi! I'm a Black female therapist who deeply understands the challenges faced when dealing with societal pressures, trauma—be it generational, historical, racial, or relationship-based-and the general stressors of life. Whether you're grappling with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), anxiety, trauma, PTSD, depression, chronic health issues, or experiencing limited or no contact with your parents, know that you are not alone, and I'm here to help. Think of our sessions together as a safe space, a tool to navigate life's ups and downs. I believe in interrupting negative thoughts and feelings that chip away at our self-worth.

For those with Combat Stress or Trauma, traditional therapy models tend to fail because they are based on cognitive reframing, emotional intelligence and empathy...something that was conditioned out of you and never put back. Being asked to "think positively," "do your deep breathing," and "use your coping skills" rarely works if you are not taught the WHY. That's where psycho-education comes in. Humans have an intrinsic need to understand the purpose behind what we are doing for it to hold any meaning, let alone be implemented. Book with me by clicking on my website!

As a therapist my role is to help support and guide you to think outside of the box and embrace new ideas that promote change. I believe that you should be empowered by your therapist and feel a connection to be able to make a plan that works for your situation. I have 20 years of training in many modalities, most specifically, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and Family Systems. I also use yoga, meditation and breath work into sessions when asked and needed to promote mind/body balance.

You're just not feeling like yourself. You've been feeling anxious, irritated and out of sorts. In some ways, your life is pretty much where you hoped it would be, but on the inside you're feeling scared and a little lost. Maybe even lonely. You're a leader, and you juggle a lot. You're the "I can do hard things" kind of person... But you're not feeling much better. You've got little patience for your partner, your kids, your friends, and you're losing your focus at work. You want better ways to cope with these feelings and life's stress. And more than that, you want to grow beyond the pain, and the past, and find inner strength.

I specialize in EMDR (processes traumatic memories/core beliefs), Internal Family Systems Therapy (systems of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self), and Mindfulness-Based Somatic Therapy (emotions/sensations in the body in the present moment). I also use a variety of other forms of psychotherapy including Hakomi, Contemplative, Person-Centered (Rogerian), Existential, Relational Life Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I provide a safe, nonjudgemental space for you to turn toward your experience. A whole body-mind approach has the ability to transform, much more than talk therapy alone.

Call for an appointment if you struggle with ADHD, anxiety, chronic illness, surgery preparation, prenatal or postpartum depression, relationship challenges, stress management, life skills, life transitions, insomnia, or want to create a healthier lifestyle. I blend Eastern philosophy with Western psychology in my holistic practice.

My experience has also lead me to focus on treating those with depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, life transitions, family conflict, and relationship issues.
Pause, and take a breath. You are where you need to be in this moment, present and safe. We often struggle with a void, a deep emptiness we often cannot explain. It leaves us feeling like we aren't good enough, unworthy, or alone. It’s time to quiet that voice. You no longer need to suffer alone. I am here to help you find serenity, strength, hope, and courage within yourself. Those demons you have kept inside deserve to be heard, processed, and understood. Let’s work together so you may find authenticity and peace within yourself.

Every child yearns to be seen, heard, and understood. With our work together, your child will feel more connected with their inner world and more confident in speaking for their needs. My style of counseling is particularly effective for highly sensitive children, deep thinkers, and perfectionists. I view mental health through a holistic lens, incorporating aspects like nutrition, sleep, the nervous system, and connections. Establishing safety and connection with you and your child is a privilege, and I deeply honor the trust placed in me to be part of their healing journey.

You do not have to be an "artist" to be in art therapy or be skilled in art making. Art making brings about in a safe way difficult stories, unspoken feelings, inner reflections, and identity exploration. It can help If you are suffering from PTSD symptoms such as nightmares and flashbacks. My goal is to help clients connect to themselves, find joy, and manage difficult emotions better.
