Considering entering therapy can be filled with hope for positive changes and concerns about the process. We all have questions: Is change really possible? How difficult will it be, what might I discover, and do I want to know it? Is it even okay to express what I'm really thinking and feeling? If you're up for doing the work, then the answer is yes. The road to bringing your struggles under your control is both challenging and worthwhile.

I have over 25 years of professional experience, and specialize in advanced, brain-based modalities to deeply shift negative reactions to past traumas, or other life stressors. These methods go beyond traditional talk therapy, targeting non-reasoning parts of the brain that mediate our fight/flight/freeze responses, as key mechanisms of transformative change. Powerful techniques include, but are not limited to: Brainspotting, evolved from EMDR, and Emotional Freedom Technique, a cognitive-somatic technique endorsed by the APA.

I'm a highly trained, intensely curious therapist - as comfortable with long stories as I am with total silence. I pay attention - with kindness, compassion and humor. Whoever you are, it's most likely true that you long for something, anything, to change. How on earth is this going to happen? It starts with curiosity - both yours and mine. You may come alone or with your partner. I am certified in evidence-based therapies for individuals and couples with trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship stress, and all of life's transitions.

My goal is to create a safe setting where together we can develop coping skills (a tool box) so you can have agency. I am easy to talk to warm and experienced. I enjoy my work (25 years) of helping clients cope with challenges. Often life's challenges deny you of fulfillment causing anxiety and sadness and stagnation. I want clients to achieve their goals and not be bogged down by untoward feelings, thoughts and experiences. My work with Veterans (combat and sexual trauma) provides me with an understanding of how trauma can deprive one of so much. Look forward to hearing from you.

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Exposure and Response Prevention, and Ego State Therapy.

Do you feel frustrated with unsatisfying life circumstances? Are you struggling with intimate relationships or relationships with family, friends, or coworkers? Have you been wrestling to move beyond past trauma from painful childhood experiences to unexpected incidents as an adult? Do you feel like despite your best effort, you can't seem to act on your true intentions and end up feeling trapped in defeat and self-doubt?

I believe everyone has their own unique experience in therapy, and that one approach or theory does not fit all. Having said that, I believe the therapeutic relationship is central. We are hurt in relationships, and we are healed in relationships. A therapist's job is to provide an open space so that the client can express thoughts and feelings, and have the experience of being listened to without judgment.

My focus is adults who are struggling with a sexual issue. I want to help people of all kinds; people of all genders, people of all races, people of all sexual orientations (heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual and asexual), people in all kinds of relationships (polyamorous, monogamous) and people with varied ability-levels. I consider myself to be honest, knowledgeable, wise and confident. Additionally, I identify as a deaf Black woman. It should be noted that I lost my hearing as an adult and I wear an implant, thus my communication skills are excellent, and I can hear quite well.

These traumatic experiences make it difficult to feel safe in the world and create barriers to achieving rewarding intimate relationships and professional success. In my work with clients, I have two goals: to create a supportive space where the trauma and its impact can be explored; and to help each person develop better self-nurturing and coping skills so that they can overcome the fears, destructive behaviors and negative internal messages that prevent them from achieving their full potential.
