I imagine you found your way here because you're looking for change— change in a relationship, change in your habits, or change in how you handle anxiety, sadness or stress. Maybe you have had enough of Coronavirus and need to figure out how to cope until life feels normal again. Whatever you need, my job first and foremost is to listen. You're the expert on yourself. I'm here to help you figure out the parts of you (and of life) that can be hard to manage.

I understand that it takes a great deal of courage to be vulnerable with others. Some life experiences leave us with deep emotional pain—self-doubt, low self-esteem, and disconnection. Whether stemming from childhood trauma, abuse, loss, or significant life changes, this pain can manifest as anxiety, depression, or struggles in relationships. Despite our best efforts to change, these obstacles can feel difficult to overcome. Recognizing how overwhelming this can be, I believe healing is a journey best taken together.

Life can be a tumultuous journey, full of ups, downs, and unpredictable twists and turns. Even when life begins to settle, our own minds can create upheaval and send us spinning into chaos once again. It can be like this for all of us, and no one should have to trudge through it on their own. At it's worst, we can feel completely broken, stuck, ashamed, lost, and we suffer. You are not alone, and you no longer need to feel alone in your struggle. Whether it is life transitions, relationships, the past, depression, anxieties, or whatever has you stuck or spiraling at this time, you have come to the right place.

Worry, sadness, and uncertainty are natural responses to feeling that parts of your life are out of your control. Regaining control over anxiety or depression often feels like it requires giving up something else: time with family, friends, hobbies, or last night's sleep. While dark humor, caffeine, and willpower may get you far, you shouldn’t have to give up the best parts of your life to just survive. No matter how you got here, you're the expert on yourself. My responsibility is to listen and create a supportive space where you feel empowered.

“Human beings are never going to perfect.... The best we can do is to keep asking for help and accepting it when you can and if you keep on doing that, you’ll always be moving towards better.” Leslie Higgins/Ted Lasso. If you’ve been feeling like you want to stay in bed all day, can’t remember the last time you washed your hair, or thoughts of tomorrow’s “to do’s” have you up all night, maybe therapy could help. Or maybe you’re just feeling a little stuck or stagnant and need a little help bringing some movement into your life…therapy could move you forward.

If you are struggling right now, working together with a trained, caring, an objective person can be very helpful. You may not be sure how to choose a therapist you can work with and begin the process of feeling better. That makes sense because it is difficult to open up to a stranger about the challenges in life. You may have tried therapy before, and it did not help, or you did not "click" with the therapist you had chosen. If this sounds familiar to you, you are not alone.

Everyone faces difficulties in life. These difficulties can be experienced as disappointment, challenge, adversity, or trauma. People cope with their struggles the best that they can with the resources they have available. When these difficult situations cause a person to have problems functioning, attaining their goals, or feeling satisfied with their life it can be helpful to work with a professional mental health therapist. This can help by having someone to talk with about their difficulties, especially if it is something traumatic that they struggle to share with other people in their life.

Let’s have an honest conversation: Are your relationships helping you….or hurting you? Sometimes, we engage in relationships that are detrimental to our success, future, and overall wellness! This can be due to many factors, some of which we are unaware of until we dissect what the core factors are. As a Black woman, I also look to identify the unhelpful generational patterns and/or beliefs that ‘root’ us in engaging in relationships that no longer serve us.
