I am a marriage and family therapist associate licensed in Washington State and a clinical ethics consultant. I have been providing psychotherapy for the past eight years. I work with diverse populations, including but not limited to refugee communities, schools, community clinics, and hospitals. I also work with those struggling with mood disorders, relationship problems, and addictions. I have specialized experience and training in assisting those overcoming trauma, including child sexual abuse. My goal as a psychotherapist is to provide all my clients with a safe environment where they can comfortably share their experiences.

I have a wide variety of experience with children, teens, and adults. I especially enjoy working with people who are exploring identity development or need help with challenging experiences.

Are you feeling drained? Out of balance? Do you feel stuck in an endless cycle and can't find your way out? Do you struggle maintaining healthy boundaries with friends and family? Do you struggle with your self-confidence and self-esteem? Are you scared to be yourself due to a history of not being accepted or a fear of rejection? Do you just want to be able to go through your day without being triggered, without your trauma impacting your present? These are difficult experiences to live with and you have the power inside yourself to break these cycles; to find peace and the best version of you. It starts here with your decision.

I love helping clients explore their sexuality, intimacy, and relationship issues. I specialize in Sex and Intimacy Therapy, LGBTQ+ therapy, Kink/BDSM and consensual non-monogamy. I support folx exploring gender identity and sexual orientation. Relationship clients want support in increasing intimacy and connection within relationships or navigating differences in sexual desires. Some folks need help with sexual dysfunction, sexual pain, healing from sexual trauma, low/high libido, and creating healthy boundaries in Ethically Non-monogamous relationships. All sexual challenges, interests and questions are welcome!

As a clinical psychologist, I am specialized in both psychotherapy and psychological/neuropsychological assessments and worked with a wide range of mental health related issues for people of all ages in multiple treatment settings. However, I currently only offer psychotherapy for adults through telehealth. My areas of focus include but are not limited to working with persons experiencing life transitions, issues of self-esteem, and learning how to cope with stress, trauma, grief, and loss.  My theoretic approach is psychodynamic and is tailored to the unique needs of the patients I work with.

I've been a therapist for over 35 years, generating great confidence in my expertise. My style is personal and interactive and I love meeting with people. I draw from contemplative and cognitive-behavioral theories, utilizing Internal Family Systems theory as the primary fuel for healing and restoration. I respect the role of spirituality in a person's life, and honor all religious traditions. I help my clients explore their current struggles through the lens of trauma, honoring the delicate balance between nature and nurture. My goal is to help an individual find peace through embracing their authentic Self.

It is my intention to align with other souls who are in a place within their life in which they aspire to grow and expand within. It's time to make the necessary changes in your life now. Reach out, I promise, you are in safe hands...

Prioritizing mental health today can be so difficult to do today, but is important now more than ever. Along with prioritizing mental health, many of us engage in school, work, relationships, family dynamics, and friendships. After a while, many of these pressures may start to affect us in different ways leading us to experience anxiety, stress, bouts of sadness, irritability, and so much more. I did not even mention any unresolved trauma or feelings that may be experienced on top of everything else! Therapy is a safe place to work through many of these issues, with undeniable positive regard and support.

I specialize in helping adults of all walks of life, navigate significant life changes, cope with mild mood challenges, & provide support in sex therapy. Yes, I'm a sex therapist! My goal is to create a welcoming online space where you can openly share your thoughts & feelings, gain valuable insights, & develop the skills to empower yourself, whether related to your sexual journey or not. My passion is breaking the stigma around sex and sexual expression, especially in the context of mental health, with a focus on supporting people of color (POC). I believe mental health and sexual well-being are vital for overall wellness.

I work from a psychodynamic approach, which seeks to understand symptoms rather than just manage them, views most human experiences as containing conflicting thoughts and feelings, and believes that self-honesty is fundamental to growth and healing. In practice, clients generally choose where to begin a psychodynamic session and move freely from there.

Accepting New Clients: Having difficulty finding a therapist of color who understands your experience? I understand your struggle. As an African American male, I too had trouble finding a therapist of my own. Being a person of color in our society comes with its own unique experience, along with the everyday struggles and challenges we all face. It’s difficult and frustrating to have to explain this unique experience to someone before you can even address your reason for being there. But you continue searching because you know you need someone who understands your experience and can help you with life’s struggles.

I believe that your connection with others and focusing on your own emotions, thoughts, and behaviors is essential for good mental health. I believe that productive therapy for couples, children, adults and families requires active and consistent involvement, honesty, and openness to change. I utilize humanistic, strength-based, multi-cultural, client centered, and emotionally focused views for clients needing assistance with relationship problems, mood disorders, teen and adolescence issues, and trauma.
