As a family systems trained psychotherapist, my focus has been on empowering clients and their loved ones to navigate the rough terrains of their life journeys with family of origin in mind along the way. My mission is to help families and individuals to have lasting, healthy interpersonal relationships, while helping the community to prosper through the solidification of the individuals within it. Clients that know that they want all that life has to offer but need more support to grasp it are encouraged to reach out for support here to begin therapy.

Welcome! My goal as a doctoral practicum trainee is to create a calm and empathetic environment where clients can feel comfortable expressing themselves and their concerns. I value an open and honest relationship where one can share freely and openly. If you are someone seeking to improve your quality of life or someone simply in need of someone to talk to; you have come to the right place. My approach to therapy is person centered and I believe that active listening is essential to identifying effective coping strategies.

Have you, or if you are a parent, your child, experienced a medical trauma? It can feel scary, isolating, hopeless, and stigmatizing. Are you feeling anxious? Lonely? Depressed? Is your child suddenly changing their behavior, having emotional outbursts, trouble in school, to the point where you feel like you've tried everything, but nothing has helped? I am passionate about helping individuals navigate these experiences so that they can move forward with confidence and hope with the tools they need to break out of these cycles and find their own healing and wholeness.

Are you losing sleep, noticing a change in your appetite, overthinking, and/or struggling with decision-making? Have you noticed a change in your relationships, or are you having difficulty making connections and feeling supported? We can all face difficulties in our lives, sometimes related to transitions, including experiences such as moving to a new country, a new job, school, or neighborhood. We can face career and school challenges, relationship changes, experience grief and loss, or everyday life stressors that can feel like a heavy weight or can cause us to panic and feel like we are losing control.

You don't have to be alone. Not anymore. From anxiety and grief to trauma and self-esteem issues, I find deep fulfillment in working with a wide range of human experiences. It's honest to say that people are my professional life's work. I have particular focus in supporting adults and couples, particularly seniors, men, LGBTQIA individuals, and those who are neurodivergent.

My focus is on helping clients better understand their feelings, thoughts and motivations as a pathway to leading more conscious, meaningful and authoritative lives. Because the therapeutic process can be anxiety-provoking and often requires a certain degree of vulnerability, my primary interest in the initial phase of therapy is to develop safe and trusting working relationships with my clients. Once this relationship is formed, I aim to engage an open, collaborative approach that allows for a shared exploration of material relevant to symptoms of anxiety, depression and interpersonal struggles.

My clients are recovering perfectionists and those who want to protect their peace (or maybe find it for the first time!). You were taught early on that with hard work and perfection comes acceptance and love. As a result, your self worth is tied to your achievements and with every accolade the goalpost is pushed back further. This creates a life that is deeply unfulfilling and exhausting. You may feel ashamed when you can't keep up with the superhuman demands you put on yourself. Perhaps chronic stress and burnout have been creeping in for a long time, and you don't know how to fight it anymore.

Have you recently lost a loved one unexpectedly or had a loved one die of a chronic or terminal illness? Are you struggling with a new or long term medical diagnosis? How do you deal with people who just don't get it? You may be experiencing feelings of profound sadness, anger, loneliness, abandonment, and hopelessness. Talking with someone who is not emotionally involved in your personal struggles, often can be a transformative experience towards developing feelings of acceptance, peace, and comfort.

I was purposed for social work. Therefore it's more of a CALLING than a job. Lastly, I am passionate about the work that I do and have a motto by which I live. If I can help somebody as I pass along, then my living shall not be in vain.

Making changes in life can be difficult. Regaining your balance after the shock and impact of trauma, grief and loss can be overwhelming and feel as if nothing will get better. Relationships are important to you, yet sometimes bring on difficult feelings. Life after recovering from substance use can be challenging to navigate and can feel strange. You’ve taken the first step by reaching out. The good news is that you don't have to do it alone.

Embarking on a journey such as one that you have chosen can feel risky, even scary – and that’s okay! However, the important thing to remember is that you have taken the first step, which is something to be acknowledged and celebrated.

Trust your gut. Feeling stuck and unable to fully engage with your authentic self? Or do you find yourself engaging in repetitive behaviors that haven’t served you well and not sure why? Sometimes life experiences can cause us to second guess ourselves and lead us toward less than favorable situations. It happens to the best of us and as a Black and BIPOC therapist, I want you to know that it doesn’t always have to be that way. Often it’s helpful to have the support of a spiritual connection, friends and family. It’s also helpful to have a therapeutic relationship.

Cognitive therapy is the process of working together to create a strong foundation for both emotional well-being and life. Core building blocks for a solid foundation include changing distorted thoughts, altering irrational behaviors, learning physiological soothing skills (such as meditation and HRV breathing) and using methods of emotional regulation. It is also essential for a person to learn to embrace a sense of unconditional worth, to grow a sense of purpose, and to live by one's values/virtues. CBT is less about searching for insight and more about practicing strong habits, that over time, lead to deep satisfaction.
