Sometimes life can "life" a bit too hard. Depression can set in, and it can be too difficult to shake. Relationships can become difficult, or, sometimes make us question whether or not it's an abusive relationship. We may sometimes find ourselves enjoying alcohol or other recreational substances more often than we used to and question whether it's problematic. If you have a desire to make changes in your life, to identify a goal and achieve it - lets work together to achieve those goals.

As a dedicated therapist with a background in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a passion for working with trauma patients, my journey in the field has been driven by a commitment to healing and empowerment. I have had the privilege of working extensively with youth entangled in the challenges of gang life, navigating the complex web of trauma that often accompanies such experiences. My focus extends to the unique struggles faced by young African American individuals, providing a safe and understanding space for those encountering difficulties in coping with life's adversities.

Therapy helps to improve lives in a meaningful way (have better relationships with friends, family members and partners, improve our self-esteem), rather than offering just symptom relief. I work to help you identify issues, problems and patterns, but also implement skills and tools to make changes to these patterns. I’ll support you in mastering these essential skills, so that you can create a life beyond what you believed possible for yourself.

I am a relationship counselor. I work with women and men whose relationships have become a source of major stress and confusion. Failed relationships hurt. They hurt because hopes get dashed and love has become something difficult to recognize. And so yes, troubled relationships can be painful. The sadness and confusion of heartache has its place, but it doesn't have to dominate. Instead, allow it to be a turning point. Use the moment to tend to yourself; to explore your goals and to create for yourself a more fulfilling future. This is a journey worth taking and I would be honored to be your guide.

“I will never be good enough.” “I cannot disappoint anyone.” “I must always give 110% or I fail.” Sound familiar? These are just a few examples of thoughts that can be loud and obnoxious in one's mind and can become impossible to ignore. As the thoughts get louder, you feel nervous, shaky, a pit in your stomach as more thoughts latch on causing a major hurricane of thoughts in your mind. You try to distract yourself, but the thoughts are like a bad song that is stuck in your head. The fear of failure is so strong, yet the reality is some of life's greatest successes stem from failing! How freeing would that thought be for you?

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Virginia Board approved LPC Supervisor with nearly 20 years of experience helping others understand their feelings, change unwanted behavior, repair relationships, and work through challenging situations. I believe the challenges we experience in life often stem from our reactions to day-to-day stressors, significant life events, or changes we encounter as we progress through life stages. Therefore, I aim to empower my clients with the ability to self-regulate, which with practice, helps to better navigate challenging situations as they arise.
