Therapy can feel daunting after much contemplation. You have been feeling exhausted, stressed, or emotionally overwhelmed, especially if you are experiencing chronic illness, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, or relationship issues. You may find it difficult to navigate your healthcare and get the help you need. Constantly reaccepting your illness or stuck on thoughts from your past and struggling to express needs or feelings to others can be draining. I connect with adults who want to explore these stressors, understand them, and find ways to become their own advocates.

I have been working with clients for over 30 years combining my NLP/Hypnosis/Dance Movement Therapy and traditional Clinical Psychology training. My orientation is short term solution focussed. When a client comes for a session we identify their goals and determine what technique(s) would be most helpful. My clients will often say that they have received lifelong tools and have new perspectives and breakthroughs with themselves and their relationships.

Psychotherapy is a co-created experience between the therapist and client. For over 20 years I have had the honor of working with people who feel stuck in their lives, whether it be their jobs, their relationships, or perhaps in some part of their identity. By bringing non-judgmental curiosity to our work together, it is my goal to create a safe and welcoming space within which we can explore the patterns of behavior that may not be serving their purpose anymore. I enjoy working with teens and adults, providing them with support to be their most authentic selves.

I've been in therapy for many years, so I appreciate what it means for you to be here. If you are looking for a non-judgmental space to explore barriers which prevent you from achieving an authentic version of happiness, calmness, and emotional safety, I’d love to work with you. Life can feel overwhelming, heavy, and unpredictable, which creates a cycle of worry and an inability to change patterns of thoughts and behaviors. Therapy is the space to make those shifts, at a pace that is comfortable for you. True change requires honesty, curiosity, accountability, and compassion for yourself, which are all integral to my approach.

Blending intuition and compassion I assist clients to gain a better understanding of themselves and their values and to identify patterns that hinder positive experiences and relationships. I am drawn towards a person-centered, experiential approach, in tandem with the application of tangible strategies and coping skills. In my work as a grief counselor, individually and in groups, I draw upon my personal experience moving through complicated grief, bringing the intersection of my clinical skill and lived experience of harnessing the healing benefits of empathic grief support.

We are all out here trying to survive, and even the act of surviving can be overwhelming. The world sometimes feels like it's caving in and you’re not sure what to do. But, you deserve a moment to catch your breath before the next battle in your story. Whether that be dealing with relationships, internal trauma, or just day to day existing. No matter the reason, you deserve a chance to heal yourself and I aim to help you achieve that goal. I am a very engaging therapist and my therapy is designed to help you reach whatever your end goal may be. I want to help you get to a point where you don’t need to see me anymore.

My specialty is working with Black, brown and multi-ethnic, non-monogamous and QTGNC/questioning folks experiencing depression, anxiety/panic, complex trauma, and relationship or social transitions. In addition, I am experienced serving folks with a range of identities struggling with body image, disordered eating, substance misuse, self-harm, and chronic illness, including chronic pain and social stigma. I work particularly well with folks looking to decolonize their minds, relationships and lives, and generate new values-based, life-affirming constructs for themselves.

I am a Queer-identified therapist with over 20 years of experience working with diverse Transgender, Queer, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Gay identified individuals. My style is warm, active, and authentic. Starting therapy is hard, so my priority in early sessions is for you to feel relaxed, understood, and comfortable. Your laughter and questions are welcomed. With a background in LGBTQ+ public health, I am sensitive to the challenges and stressors that come with living outside cisgender/hetero norms. I also value subjugated knowledge - the wisdom we possess from not fitting into the dominant culture.

In addition to addressing different mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic mental health needs and interpersonal challenges, I hold zeal in supporting those in the LGBTQIA+ community. I also find passion in a foundation of empathetic, strength-oriented and ratifying approaches to non-traditional relationships, sex and sexuality with an understanding of sex work, kink or power dynamics in sessions. It can be exceptionally challenging or isolating to find affirmation while navigating these complex needs!

As a retired school counselor with extensive background in dealing with substance abuse issues, I am best positioned to assist clients with difficulties related to social, academic or behavioral issues. I am particularly attuned to the ways in which parenting styles impact upon the functioning of children and to the most efficient ways of creating change to promote the likeliness of a person's or family's success and happiness. At times, these are most effectively addressed through an examination and fostering of an individual's goal-setting and motivation and how these may encumber his or her movement on the path to future satisfaction.

I’m a licensed creative arts therapist who uses empathy, mindfulness, and curiosity in my approach to therapy. Through my work with adolescents, emerging adults, and caregivers, I support clients in processing anxiety, depression, bereavement, religious trauma, and trauma. I also work with parents and caregivers to provide knowledge on child development and lead supportive groups. While originally trained in art therapy, I integrate attachment-based therapy and child development practices into my clinical process.

Rewarding personal, professional and romantic relationships are so fundamental to our happiness, yet they can be so elusive. I am a Clinical Psychologist that works with individuals, couples and families that may be struggling to find fulfillment in their relationships with themselves and others. Issues getting in the way might include depression, anxiety, loneliness, interpersonal difficulties, and PTSD. I help clients process and work through current and past life stressors and traumas, such as sexual traumas, infertility, loss, transitioning to parenthood and career changes.

Many people begin therapeutic work with me because they are ready to make a change but do not know how or where to begin. Sometimes work stress, life changes, relationships and family problems can become stressful or hard to manage. This can lead to depression, anxiety, or unhealthy ways of coping. I will help you develop your own insight and understanding as we establish new skills and strategies for sustaining change. I will listen attentively and respond fully. My style in therapy is active, calm, and non-judgmental; I work to create a confidential space to explore the issues and challenges that are most important to you.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed and disconnected from yourself, no matter what you do? You may be fed up with feeling the pressure to pretend like everything is under control, feeling you have to present and "put together", or else it reflects poorly on who you are. You might not even remember a time things didn't feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to feel in control again. You're ready to connect with yourself again. Most of all, you're ready to build a life that feels authentic to who you are and the things you want most.

As a Black, queer, Caribbean/LatinX individual who practices therapy from a non-oppressive and radically authentic lens I draw on over ten years of experience working with women, children and communities of color around topics of equity, sexuality, education, LGBTQ+, and trauma. I use my knowledge and background to analyze issues with a strong understanding of the systems, personal history and survival skills that influence your identity today. I am interested in understanding 'personal language' (emotions and perspective) to address the current design of your relationships and encourage transformations better suited for your goals
