I view therapy as a collaborative and holistic approach to the navigation of the human condition and as a safe space to explore everything life throws our way. As an existentialist and a relational therapist, my goal is to emphasize identity development, emotional insight and regulation, freedom and responsibility, effective communication, relational interdependence, and the creation of meaning. We are all walking through this world together and experiencing growth, hardship, change, love, and loss. Because we are human, I believe that every person can benefit from having a place to process emotions and an ear to listen with empathy

My goal is to help you "get your life back" from mental illness, depression, anxiety, self-improvement, marriage conflict, PTSD, or difficult children. While I can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life.

I like to think of myself as a very empathetic, reasonable and humanistic person. My goals are to help people become more aware of their flaws and see them as building blocks of character that help us accept who we are. No one is perfect and we are all humans.

Have you ever thought – what distinguishes healthy relationships that are able to thrive from unhealthy ones that tend to be full of stress? Is it self-will? Determination?

Depending on our ability (or inability) to attach interpersonally, determines the overall satisfaction we experience within our intimate relationships. Also, having been a victim of racism, I opened this practice as a place that people of color can heal from the impact of both blatant and systemic oppression.

Hello and Welcome. The first step to healing is looking for a therapist and making an appointment for help. Are you in the middle of a transition?
