Maybe you've been feeling like it's been harder to keep things together at times, or you have goals/decisions you'd like to reach but a little something keeps pulling at you. Are you experiencing the "wonderment" they call life? Everyone experiences these spaces as a symptom of simply being human. We are multifaceted which gives us greater meaning and pushes us towards growth, though sometimes we can benefit from a respectful, trustworthy, judgment-free space that is tailored to your individual needs exactly where you are in your journey.

Let’s find out why you may be repeating old behavioral patterns, help you resolve challenges, and find new ways of doing things. Working through obstacles together, we will work in a psychodynamic and interpersonal framework. I am a great listener and deeply care about our work, you, and the process. Through a relationship that feels collaborative, in a safe and healthy holding environment we will explore what you are experiencing and work towards achieving your goals. I have additional training in holistic nutrition, yoga and meditation, which brings an understanding of the Mind Body connection to the therapeutic process.

Everyone suffers many losses in their lifetime. Grief is our reaction to loss based on what we have learned from childhood, what we have experienced as adults, and how we have chosen to respond. We then struggle to determine how to evolve and change. The grieving process does not follow a prescribed path. There are many commonalities to the grieving process, yet the journey is unique to the individual. Loss is typically defined as a death, but may take many forms: a relationship, a job, a pet. I specialize in many types of Grief and Transitions including Anticipatory. Absent, Complicated, Disenfranchised, Chronic, Delayed and Inhibited.

Life transitions can be challenging. Together we will navigate your life's challenges and find their path to healing and growth. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, develop coping skills, and ultimately, thrive. Whether you’re facing a significant life change or seeking support for emotional well-being, I’m here to be a sounding board as you go through your life experiences.

At this time, my practice has a waitlist and it is approximately a 6 week wait for a new client appointment. I specialize in working with sex and relationship difficulties and treat individuals and couples. I help people understand the relationship patterns they've developed and how they continue to play out, even though they aren't helpful anymore.

In 20 years as a psychologist, I find healing and emotional growth start with developing a compassionate understanding of your life story and current circumstances.

I will focus on your emotional needs and help you develop skills for healthy relationships and better functioning in your life. I will also directly address the negative effects of oppression and discrimination as it impacts your mental health.

I am a psychotherapist in private practice for over twenty years. I treat families, adolescents and adults, especially those seeking help with depression, eating problems, trauma, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, LGBTQ issues, career decisions, cult involvement and feelings of isolation. I supervise other psychotherapists in a collaborative and supportive environment, with an emphasis on independent and creative thinking.

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

Are you unhappy and feel alone in your relationship or marriage? Are there problems with infidelity? Is there a lack of intimacy in your relationship? Do you feel disconnected from your partner and that your partner doesn't understand you? I am a couples counselor and have been able to help many relationships that have often been neglected for too long. The approach that I use does not assign blame to either person. I focus on discovering the awareness of the negative cycle that a couple gets into and help to create a positive and more understanding cycle.

When you seek the emotional growth that you deserve, you will experience change and improvements in your relationships. The therapeutic process will push you beyond the limits of your comfort; but at the end of the journey, you will experience growth, change in perspective, increase self-awareness and increase coping skills to improve the quality of your life. We are a private practice group that provides general psychotherapy treatment such as anxiety, depression and also specializes in women's maternal mental wellbeing such as postpartum, infertility and stillbirth. We are dedicated to restoring our client’s mental wellbeing.

A happy and secure marriage is wonderful, and can be tough to maintain. Keeping your relationship solid during a really difficult season in life is even harder. So many couples struggle to stay connected when they're going through something difficult: trying to have a baby, adjusting to parenthood, job changes, financial stressors, grief, or health issues. Other couples find themselves simply drifting apart: they're not sure when things changed, but one day they looked up and realized their communication sucks and they barely spend time together. And when this happens, so many couples don't know what to do or how to reconnect.

I am an affirmative therapist who provides family, couple, and individual therapy to people of all ages and identities.

I also specialize in couples therapy, using my published theory of couples therapy but also tailoring my approach to be client driven.

I use mindfulness, energy psychology, EFT, to relieve stress, heal trauma, anxiety, relationships. We work collaboratively, listening to conflicting parts and needs, discovering how to integrate these parts to fulfill your unique potential, talents, and power, learning to recognize and transform blocks to their fulfillment.

We work on many levels, from practical decision making; connecting past and present issues; symptom abatement and coping skills, goal setting; to a spiritual search for the authentic self and its means of expression.

After 33 years of experience with adults, children, families, and couples, and many transformational groups, I developed Heart Path Therapy® (HPT), integrating the most life changing tools.

The goal is to transform emotional and relational struggles by bringing compassion to the source and in turn empower a greater sense of meaning and purpose in life.
