Waitlist for new clients
I have practiced psychotherapy for the past ten years with a focus on children and families, perinatal mental health, anxiety, depression, and ADHD.
Deciding to speak to a therapist is a step in the direction of health - mental, emotional, and sometimes physical. My clients usually come to me after they have tried all they can think of - I feel honored to be their next step and honor the steps they've already taken. Whether a client's concerns pertain to parenting or becoming a parent, perinatal mental health, life transitions, ADHD, or general mental health, I enjoy working together with my clients to determine the best next steps for them.

"ITS OKAY TO BE SCARED, BEING SCARED MEANS YOU'RE ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING REALLY, REALLY BRAVE." Mandy Hale. Sometimes people struggle with the idea of going to see a therapist and finding the one that is right for them. Having rapport with your counselor is the most important thing. Once there is rapport with your counselor, the conversations will not feel forced/coerced ...you get to be in the present and work on why you came to therapy to begin with. Each person is unique, so I will use a variety of techniques to meet your presenting issue.

It can be extremely difficult to talk about perinatal challenges, especially when you have little or no support, or just feel like those around you don’t understand what you are going through.
Are you having difficulty controlling your worries about getting pregnant, being pregnant, or having a child born with medical complications and spending all of your time and energy at the hospital? As a mom of a NICU baby, I've stayed up at night worrying about upcoming procedures, getting test results, or just wondering if my child will make it through and be happy and healthy. I'm here to help you understand your worries, be the best version of yourself for your little one, and learn how to cope with this very scary and very rewarding journey.

I am EMDR certified and working on my certification in Perinatal Mental Health.
The majority of my career has been with individuals with complex trauma histories and/or in crisis, and these remain the issues I work with the most. However, my understanding of these challenges, and their potential aftermath, changed just over 6 years ago. At that time, I experienced my own trauma and crisis in a way that shook me to my core - trauma while delivering my daughter. Then, 4 years later, pregnancy loss. When it comes to trauma recovery, this is what I now know in a very personal way - your support system is everything. You can survive things you thought might kill you. And you can be happy again.

My passion for mental health advocacy began parallel to my journey as a young widow and after experiencing my own perinatal loss.
Are you hurting? Exhausted? Overwhelmed? Angry? Do you wonder how you can possibly go on after your loss or major life change? Please remember that grief emotions are not neat and tidy but are more like a tangled ball. And maybe you feel this way, but pretend you’re okay. This is where I can help.

My primary focus is helping clients build a fulfilling life based on their personal values & goals. I primarily work with older adolescents, adults, parents, and families with a variety of difficulties including: self-harm & suicidal behaviors, intense emotions/emotions that feel out of control, mood (depression and bipolar disorder), anxiety, and substance use disorders. I have extensive training treating disorders during pregnancy and the postpartum period, as well. My style is collaborative and compassionate, as well as evidence based, meaning I use treatments that have been supported by research to show they are effective.

I support young mother's of color on their quest to strengthen their family dynamics and work on their own selves. Let's face it, raising a family can be challenging along with caring for yourself and it is nearly impossible to be present for everyone else without taking care of yourself. I support women and children identify the skills they need to move forward past any issues, big or small and thrive. Also supporting mother's through postpartum depression, as this can have a major impact on the family dynamic. "If everything was perfect, you would never learn and you would never grow"-Beyonce

My culturally inclusive & responsive practice of psychotherapy uses science backed approaches to address specialized issues: postpartum adjustment/ mood issues, sexual difficulties, infertility, trauma survivorship, reproductive loss, & concerns uniquely experienced by BIPOC & high achieving women.
You've taken the courageous first step of looking for support. You never thought you'd end up here... feeling overwhelmed, emotional, and exhausted. You're not sure who you are anymore, and you don't feel like you can push through, ignore, or compartmentalize these feelings any longer. Maybe it started recently after a birth, a fertility struggle, a loss, relationship change, trauma, or life transition. Maybe it started much earlier in life. Either way, this territory feels difficult for you, and you're ready to give yourself what you find so much easier to give to others... HELP.
