Building a strong and trustworthy relationship with you is one of my main priorities in our work together.
Life is a complex story woven from our experiences, beliefs, and feelings. Each of us carries a unique history, shaped by childhood memories and significant life events, which can influence the stories we tell about ourselves and our lives. The more challenging experiences we encounter may make us feel stuck or overwhelmed, but therapy can offer a way through! If you're looking to take control of your life, find your path, or seek personal growth and insight, I am here to guide and support you on this journey.

The therapeutic relationship is an important one and you have every right to do some research to figure out the right therapist for you.
Everyone has their own story to tell and feelings that are worth sharing. I am here to listen and support you as you reflect on areas you'd like to grow in your life. It can be hard to get motivated when we are repeating patterns that do not serve us well. Let's find a new strategy and perspective together. My priority is having empathy for each of my client’s unique experiences and empowering them to reach their personal mental health goals. I will organically integrate my expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy, knowledge of mental health disorders, & other evidence based strategies to apply to your current needs.

Navigating everything from depression and anxiety to relationship and intimacy issues, crisis and loss to major life transitions.
Live your truth. Follow your bliss. Do you. Sounds simple, right? Except that, all too often, we convince ourselves that who we are is not enough, that what we want is undeserved. So we stifle our talents, ignore our truth and deny our deepest desires. Before we know it, we’re living someone else’s life, satisfying everyone’s expectations but our own. All to earn the love and acceptance we don’t feel worthy of otherwise. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

I also assist couples with "relationship coaching" to build and restore connection.
My ideal client needs help overcoming performance or mental health challenges. My ideal client may be uncertain about how therapy works or is unaware that sports psychology exists, yet they are still interested in improving their well-being and performance. My ideal client is willing to participate actively, seeking awareness and a commitment to change. Being a self-professed blerd (black and a nerd) I can also connect with those willing to use characters like Batman, Black Panther, Spiderman, Wonder Woman, or any movie, television show, anime, video game, or piece of music that helps one reflect and try to embrace life uniquely.

One of the hardest struggles in life can be trying to learn how to navigate the world when something is lost. Facing the reality that we as humans have to grieve losses can be excruciating – whether the loss be of a loved one, relationship, or simply your sense of belonging in this world. Life-altering changes are inevitable parts of the human condition, but this doesn't make them any less painful. Realizing the impermanence of all things can be difficult to bear. You may find yourself in denial – trying your hardest to avoid and shut things out; becoming distant and disconnected. How does one find meaning when the meaning is gone?
