I hear folks on my therapy couch often ask these questions: "Why can't I get a hold on these anxious feelings?" "Why am I still repeating these same patterns?" "Why does (experience) bring up so much (emotion) for me?" I help adults and adolescents (16+) translate this curiosity into insight to develop emotion regulation skills, a sense of self rooted in integrity instead of shame, and more mindfulness in their relationships. I work mostly with anxiety, LGBTQIA+ issues, depression, emotion regulation difficulty, relationship issues, spirituality, and grief, including “identity grief” (grieving the life we thought we’d live).

I also specialize in therapy designed to treat anxiety disorders including OCD, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, panic disorder, and specific phobia.
I provide both neuropsychological assessment and specialized psychotherapy services for adult and geriatric clients. Individuals referred for neuropsychological assessment are typically evaluated for cognitive or thinking difficulties related to neurological conditions (dementia, head injury, multiple sclerosis, seizure disorders, etc.), medical conditions (HIV, autoimmune disorders, cancer, pre/post surgical procedures), and psychological conditions such as depression and anxiety. My assessment practice is complimented by structured therapy including cognitive rehabilitation to compensate for cognitive weaknesses.

Many clients seek therapy to work on issues relating to anxiety, depression, substance use, family of origin, trauma, relationship conflicts, life transition, grief, or just feeling stuck or under-motivated.
Honest self-reflection is the answer to so many of our problems. At many points throughout our lives, we learn to ease life’s burdens by shutting down, acting out, or running away in attempts to find relief. Even our most destructive coping strategies were often the best answers we could find at the time to manage our anxieties, our desires, and our pain. When we allow ourselves the opportunity to slow down and reflect on our lives, both past and present, we deepen our understanding and insight. And, as we explore our lives without moralizing and harshness, we develop genuine compassion and greater trust in ourselves.

I integrate components of DBT, CBT, IFS, and Somatic-Based therapies to treat stress, anxiety, depression, issues related to identity and belonging, low self-esteem, trauma, and life transitions.
Let’s be real; life as a teenager or young adult is complex and hard enough as it is. Add to that the confusion about who you are as a mixed race individual; the frustration of being directly or indirectly labeled “the black girl” in a predominantly white school; or the pressure that comes with being a student athlete trying to balance life on and off the court. The weight of it all can become too heavy to carry alone!

I love working with women and girls of all ages who are experiencing issues such as pat trauma, disordered eating, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem / body image issues, anxiety, issues related to motherhood, stress, familial conflict, and navigating life transitions.
So often do I hear women and girls searching for a new or more active approach to therapy, where they can learn skills and effectively meet their goals. My approach to therapy is just that. I help women and girls unlock their true potential in therapy by providing a space that is filled with energy, authenticity, and hands-on work. The work I do is dynamic and active, as I believe tangible resources are key to effective therapeutic work. My goal is to create a relatable and modern approach to therapy as we work to break negative patterns, gain self-awareness, and learn new ways to cope with past events and current stresses.

It’s taken me a long time to write this because I desperately wanted my bio to communicate my heart for counseling, people, and the work that I do, but I also feel that words fall short when you’re trying to communicate something so intimate. First of all, you are brave for taking a step toward deeper healing, and I am honored that you might consider me as a support alongside you in your journey. Whether this is your first time seeking counseling or your 10th time, I hope to encourage and help empower you in your fight to become who you want to be. Whatever next step you decide to take, I hope the best for you.

It is natural to experience a range of emotions; some flooding us thoroughly, and others frozen at our core. Sometimes we all feel challenged by life itself—anxious about change, lonely with ourselves, feeling captive by our past, and running from our fears. This is why it can be helpful to seek out a therapist. Our counseling practice is focused on helping adults and teens who struggle with trauma, depression, anxiety, and chronic stress. As clinical therapists and trauma specialists, we can help you to better recognize and resolve challenges, so you can feel better oriented to your present and prepared to create a balanced future.

Many of my clients came to therapy because they didn't feel confident, safe, or at peace in themselves, how they connect with others, or how they fit in the world. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and identity issues. These areas are tied to the core of who you are and how you interact in the world. At times, it may be difficult to move forward and you may feel stuck. You may feel disconnected, unfulfilled, or overwhelmed. It may affect relationships, work, and your sense of self. It can be difficult to find your way back to yourself and the life you want to build. I am here to help navigate that journey.

Are you a woman looking to connect to yourself on a deeper level? Are you craving change, yet something seems to be holding you back? I am deeply passionate about empowering women to create the life they want for themselves! We ALL develop habits out of survival, and although once protective, those same habits can get in the way of our thriving. I believe life experiences play a large role in how we relate to ourselves, and that trauma shows up in our bodies both mentally and physically. I utilize evidence-based interventions to address the whole client using psychotherapy + wellness principles that support the mind-gut connection.
