As a woman of color, I understand how intersectionality can be an added stressor, which can hinder us from true self-expression.
Seeking therapy can be incredibly difficult. Many of us blindly navigate life with conflicts that we relate to the now instead of understanding our pasts. I understand the stigma placed on mental health, but also aim to work at your speed to make this a comfortable experience. During this therapeutic journey, you are making a choice to begin your true healing process with a dedicated guide. My style is person-centered and interactive, which aims to allow your authentic self to emerge.

I help women in their early career do the inner work required to live a fulfilling and aligned life.
You're having a hard time making decisions related to a relationship, career, or life. You're trying to do everything “right” to try to make other people happy and running away from what it is that you want. You constantly feel guilt and fear & it's preventing you from living a more free & full life. I specialize in working with women to bring awareness to how you are genuinely feeling, in your mind and body, to help discover and set boundaries around what you truly want for yourself without worrying about other people’s expectations or needs. I believe that we are all deserving of discovering our truths, purpose, and direction.

You know that your child has great potential to do great things but the way things are going, their future looks bleak. Seeking help can be scary, because you want to make sure that your child has someone they can talk to but feel like even this step is risky.

At times, people just want to have a conversation and we put off going to counseling, because honestly we tell ourselves that this other thing is just a little bit more important, a bit more pressing. We forget to invest in ourselves. Life is tough, there is no doubt about that; but why go through it alone. Let me be that person for you to aid you through those tough times or I can simply be that someone that you talk with.

I see problems as opportunities to grow whether I am working with a child, adolescent or adult, individually or in couples or family therapy, and whether it is a single symptom or incident, or long-standing difficulty that brings someone to therapy. I identify and help develop strengths as we explore and change thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationship patterns, and resolve difficulties that prevent someone from reaching their goals and creating a fulfilling life. My work with children involves helping them reach the appropriate developmental goals as they build the skills needed for life ahead.

My clients come to me at a time in their life when they are feeling overwhelmed and realize it’s ok to get some help. They need to expand their repertoire of coping skills for anxiety and stress or figure out how to navigate a major life change, such as school, being in a new role at work, parenting a challenging child, dating or being in a romantic relationship, to name just a few examples. I also work with kids who are suffering from anxiety or sleep issues. All of my clients want to feel back to their best selves, know they can handle what life throws at them, and feel happy, successful, and fulfilled.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
