In my more than a decade of counseling, I’ve frequently heard, “You’re the first person I’ve ever told that too” or “I’ve been too afraid to admit that until now”. It is after these freeing moments that the real work begins. One of the best things about counseling is that it provides a safe place where the truth can be told! If you are afraid to speak your truth, to be honest about your feelings, or to just keep it real, it impedes the healing process. I like asking the hard questions, guiding my clients through having the hard conversations and motivating them to make the hard decisions. Let's talk about the truth!

There's an exhaustion and isolation that often come with mental health struggles. It’s easy to feel trapped in a cycle, simultaneously yearning for change and fearing it – especially when the cycle involves suicidal ideation, self-harm, substance use/addiction, or disordered eating. They all become ingrained in one's identity, making the idea of letting go terrifying. I want my clients to know there's more to them than their struggles. I'm here to support and guide them as they uncover their resilience and empowerment underneath the depression, anxiety, bipolar, or trauma/PTSD.

I am a mixed race (black and white) clinician and feel this gives me a unique perspective to mental health. Life can be mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausting. Trauma (racial, religious, or anywhere in between), work stress, marital strife, parenting woes and the like can at times feel magnified and the weight feels heavy, but I see you. Life is full of ups and downs and mental health can keep us feeling great or wanting to crawl into a dark hole. Sometimes we need to vent and have someone quietly listen, feel seen and validated, get practical advice or be taught practical ways to manage our emotions in real time.

Often times people allow feelings of anxiety, fear, guilt, shame, etc. to keep them from accomplishing goals that are meaningful to them. I incorporate honesty, direct communication, and compassion into my approach to encourage individuals to be an agent of change within there own lives and align themselves with what they truly value.

I'm a trauma informed therapist with extensive experience using EMDR for a wide variety of issues. My background is working with military populations with combat , childhood, and sexual trauma histories.

I help women build resilience to weather the storms of life with grace and strength. I know the importance of being able to bounce back from loss, disappointment, or crisis. As a therapist who works with women stung and damaged by all sorts of life events, I believe that resilience is one of the single most important qualities that enables us to bounce back from the edge. Resilience allows us to find our strength in adverse circumstances. It requires a willingness to fall apart for a time and get in touch with our pain. There is much healing that can be accomplished by getting to know yourself at your rawest and darkest times.

Are you or a loved one struggling to live a fulfilled life? Is it difficult to navigate the stress of everyday routines, or are your intrusive thoughts holding you back? These feelings can be exhausting, and it is easy to lose your sense of self. Unfortunately, most people learn to avoid the things that cause anxiety and stress, and they fall into a pattern of unhelpful behavior. This can lead to distancing yourself from meaningful relationships and feelings of shame and unhappiness.
