On life’s journey we are constantly growing and developing. Whether young or old, life is a journey that usually entail efforts of trying to understand divine will. We often question our purpose in life, especially during challenging times. To keep it real, in many cultures/communities, such as the African American (Black) community, we might have been taught to either “pray” about our situations, issues, and emotions or “suck it up and keep it moving.” This can create negative energies such as anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, and other mental health issues that need to be addressed in a healthy manner.

Therapy can only work if there is a connection between you and your therapist. If you give me a call we can talk by phone or set a brief meeting to make sure you feel comfortable and connected before embarking on what can be a great journey.

Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and understood. I work with a wide variety of clients but what they all have in common is the courage it takes to show up and tell their stories. We all struggle with various inner parts that hijack us sometimes. You may be quite familiar with your own inner Judge, Critic, or Taskmaster (to name a few of the most ubiquitous hijackers). I truly admire clients who share their often messy, sometimes aching, always-in-progress stories. I believe there is tremendous power in the act of speaking our truths aloud.

Painful experiences can shake us to our core, often leading us to craft narratives about ourselves based on these challenges. These stories might leave you feeling misunderstood and struggling to forge a strong sense of self, especially when your lived experience doesn’t align with societal norms. This can manifest as debilitating symptoms, difficulty connecting with others, and damaging self-beliefs, causing you to question your inherent worth and identity. Despite what your inner critic may tell you, embracing your authentic self is possible.

I am a firm believer that healing and transformation within an individual can ignite subsequent change within the family unit and larger community. While many may associate relationships with harm and debilitating pain, relationships can also serve as an avenue for healing and restoration of the soul. I aspire to serve as an agent of change for those seeking to reconnect with their authentic self, faith/core beliefs, and primary relationships by addressing persisting challenges that may have been overshadowed by symptoms of these root issues. I wholeheartedly believe that you are the starting point for change in your own life.
