Therapeutic interests include: anxiety, depression, couple and familial concerns, adolescent/ young adult transitions, trauma, body image issues, anger management, and multicultural concerns.
At some point in our lives, we all face challenges and difficulties. As a counselor, I feel it is my job to help guide and walk with you through these challenges. Through our work, we can navigate life’s obstacles and hardships and move towards accomplishing your therapeutic goals. I believe in illuminating my client’s strengths and utilizing those strengths to conquer anything that stands in their way of wellness, peace, and contentment. Our sessions can be a place to prioritize your needs in a safe, non-judgmental space.

My counseling approach is created from a multicultural lens, which specializes in identity development, mood disorders, emotional regulation, substance abuse/ addiction, self-esteem, trauma related issues such as childhood abuse, neglect and or domestic violence for Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) and LGBTQ+ individuals.
If you have come across my profile, I would like to congratulate you on taking the courageous step of seeking help. If you have found yourself burnt out, emotionally dysregulated, experiencing irrational thoughts, intrusive memories, anxious, struggling to let go of the past, unable to make sound decisions and or feeling completely lost in your identity then I am here to help. Help looks different to every individual seeking it and my job is to offer services tailored to your individual needs. My goal, as your therapist, is to create a safe environment for you to explore this thing called “Life” and ALL that it brings.

I enjoy working with health care professionals, athletes, teachers, and professors working toward tenure. I currently have one weekly opening.

My therapeutic style is guided by a trauma-informed lens, rooted in feminist multicultural therapy.
Life and change are hard. You are burdened by all of the expectations around you; work, family, and cultural pressures to act/live your life a certain way. Maybe you feel like you don’t fully belong and you’re stressed. I bet that you’re also having a hard time feeling happy. I help my clients live a more authentic life for themselves while also honoring their values and culture. My goal is to support you in gently peeling back the layers, navigating what life throws your way, and teaching you skills to manage all of the stress.

“Trauma” happens when a situation or an event overwhelms a person’s ability to cope, when the mind, the body, or the spirit shuts down or goes offline in order to get through the moment. Amazingly, while we may not have clear and whole memories of the event, the mind, the body, and the spirit have a memory of their own. Because of this, we can develop ways of seeing, relating, and experiencing the world that make life difficult. These difficulties can range from anxiety and depression to flashbacks or dissociation. They can make it harder to trust people, God or oneself. And it can leave you feeling lost or without purpose in life.

Often our hurtful experiences are out of our control. You didn’t choose to live with pain & society makes it hard to heal. You are tired of feeling alone and misunderstood. The reality is our experiences and memories can shape our beliefs and worldviews, creating guilt, anxiety, shame, anger, and isolation. Living with chronic pain, illness, trauma, anxiety, and grief – does impact us. Even if you don’t feel like it at this very moment, there is part of you that knows they deserve something more, whether it’s self-compassion, healthy connections, pleasure, joy, or the chance to move from surviving to thriving. Let's get curious.

At times, life can feel overwhelming, and you might find yourself in a constant battle with your emotions. The struggle to determine whether you're in control or if your emotions are controlling you can be incredibly challenging. Feelings of uncertainty and the weight of "what if" questions can become a heavy burden, leading to emotions like hopelessness, anxiety, sadness, or irritability. It's not uncommon to feel lost in these moments. Perhaps you've noticed that unhealthy behaviors and old patterns have become all too familiar. Please know that you're not alone in these experiences.

Multicultural Therapists
What type of therapy is multicultural therapy?
Multicultural therapy is not tied to any specific therapy; rather, it is an overarching approach to therapy that aims to acknowledge and address the influence that factors like race, gender identity, and cultural background can have on someone’s life. Multicultural approaches can be applied to CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and others, and can be practiced with individuals, couples, families, or groups.
What can I expect from multicultural therapy?
Multicultural counseling should be tailored to the client’s unique identity and cultural needs. Such approaches often prioritize the building of trust so that the client feels comfortable exploring various aspects of their identity and any challenges caused by mismatches between their identity and the dominant culture. Beyond that, the format and timeline of therapy will be heavily influenced by the therapist’s preferred therapy approach and the specific problems for which the client sought therapy.
Can multicultural therapy help treat trauma?
Yes. Cultural factors such as racial background, gender identity and or sexuality, and immigration or refugee status can influence both whether someone experiences trauma and how they cope afterward. Multicultural approaches to trauma-informed care will be aware of these influences, helping the client recognize how their response to trauma may be shaped by their cultural background and identify coping mechanisms that take their identity into account.
What are the benefits of seeing a multicultural therapist?
Members of minority groups who seek therapy are sometimes frustrated by providers who don’t understand their cultural background or dismiss the ways in which race, gender, or other facets of their identity influence their lived experience. Seeing a multicultural therapist can help these clients feel seen, understood, and able to develop solutions to life challenges that take their upbringing, beliefs, and past experiences into account.
