As a trauma-informed relationship therapist, I work with individuals and couples to establish more fulfilling relationships. I help couples improve communication, build trust, strengthen their connection, and heal from past wounds. I help individuals heal and process the past, develop more internal resources, and establish more trust in themselves.

I believe that everything we do and are as people makes sense when we understand the context of our lives. Every area of one’s life affects another in some way, shape, or form. Therefore, I find it quite helpful to explore the areas of physical, emotional, and other areas of health to put all the pieces together to make a complete puzzle picture. With an accurate picture, it may feel as though things begin to “click” and “make sense.” With an accurate framework, we can begin to address the root of the issues you might be experiencing at the pace that you are comfortable with so that foundational progress can take place.

Are you haunted by something in your past, hounded by negative self-talk, or feel stuck in some destructive pattern? Have you always felt a bit “different”, lacked a sense of belonging or haven’t ever quite fit in with society's “norms”? Are you highly intuitive, but can’t make sense of what your “gut” seems to be trying to tell you? Do you march to the beat of your own drum and often feel misunderstood by others? Have you recently had an “awakening” and need help “sorting everything out”? Perhaps you have always felt an inner calling but can’t quite figure out exactly what it is.

Would you like to reach for your highest potential? I passionately love working with people who have an innate desire to better themselves and their lives. People who are looking for direction, possibly a little bit of hope, suggestions, encouragement and support on setting goals for their personal journey. My intention, utilizing a holistic approach, is to create and develop a relationship with each individual. Developing trust that can honor, guide and help transform each client. In providing a safe & supportive environment I consider it a privilege to hold space, validate, witness your experiences and encourage you.

My ideal client is experiencing anxiety and depression and has an awareness that they need help and are willing to do "homework" outside of sessions to build the skills they need to "be their own therapist." Their needs are to gain insight into the negative thoughts and core beliefs contributing to their symptoms and to process past traumatic events to gain a more accurate and helpful perspective on the precipitating events and current situation. My ideal client's goals are to decrease their anxiety and depression and be able to experience life in a way that leads to increased self-efficacy and contentment in life.

With a warm and compassionate approach, I have been dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges for over a decade. My therapy style is influenced by my Christian faith, and I believe that faith can be a powerful source of healing and resilience. I have a deep understanding of women's issues, offering a safe space for women to explore their unique struggles and find empowerment. I also help guide clients through the various phases of life, whether it's adjusting to major life transitions, managing anxiety and depression, or helping those in ministry find balance and purpose.

For 40 years I have been serving my community as a psychologist in private practice. My expertise is in helping individuals who are suffering with anxiety, depression and negative self image begin to see themselves differently and learn how they can take charge of their lives and experience the joy they were intended to feel.

Therapy can be an important step in seeking a more meaningful life. Transitions can stir up a range of feelings and unforeseen challenges. I am here to help. You may be in the throes of sleep deprivation, struggle with irritability/outbursts, feel diminished connection or motivation, experience isolation. There may be communication challenges with supports and/or self may also feel stuck and you are looking for a way to cultivate new, hopeful pathways around these issues. In therapy together, we can build an understanding upon personal strengths, develop self-compassion and curiosity around unhelpful belief systems and narratives.

Are you feeling stuck in life, battling depression and anxiety, or experiencing relationship issues? I will walk alongside you in whatever journey you are on to help you reach your goals, whatever they may be, from learning new coping skills, improving communication skills, or improving your relationships.

Life is full of ups and downs and there are times when we all could use some help. I am committed to helping people manage stress, overcome emotional hurdles and become the best they can be. Since everyone is different, I do not use a one-size-fits-all model. I believe that our work together is a partnership, so I respect your feelings, beliefs, opinions and process. I am versatile in many evidence-based practice methods, including EMDR, to bring you clarity and relief.

My ideal client struggles with self-esteem, anxiety, and/or neurodivergence. They need reassurance, reframing of insecurities, support, and perhaps encouragement to advocate for themselves. Through therapy, they plan to achieve greater self-confidence, independence, and satisfaction with life. They may want a second opinion on their questions and troubles, perhaps due to societal invalidation, sexism, homophobia, and racism.

When I work with a client, my hope is that the individual will experience a sense of understanding and hopefulness for change in their present situation. I believe that when an individual feels that the clinician is truly invested in "walking with" the "whole person" on their journey, the client will gain a new perspective on their movement in life. When I see individuals who are struggling with anxiety and/or depression, relational concerns, life stressors, and/or loss and transition issues, my main focus is to support the client in developing a hopefulness that positive change is possible.

Deeply passionate about social justice and facilitating and guiding positive change and development in the lives of others, I am thrilled to connect with you as you begin your journey inward. Healing is truly the risk of showing up for yourself and your resistance to temptation to go back to unsilenced needs, numbing out, disconnection, and erasure. As a black, gender non-binary Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), I have a personal stake and insight into the work I do. My clinical practice aims to empower and heal individuals, families & communities through therapy, consulting, case management, training, & community outreach.

We all have moments in life when we don't know what to do, or simply can't figure out the next step. Often when something is too difficult for us to handle we talk to someone else. Whether its, stress, lack of motivation, anger, sadness, grief, or relationship issues, I am here to help. My goal is to help you move towards growth and connection. Developing skills that you will take with you out of a session and into your everyday life. Don't let this area of difficulty stop you in your tracks.

Are you a young adult dealing primarily with anxiety and life transition issues? This could be a recent college graduate starting their first big job, a major transition. I like walking beside them through these transitions and being an additional support. I also like helping people learn breathing techniques to manage anxiety and learn about polyvagal theory and a bottom-up approach. I enjoy working with clients who can articulate their goals, such as managing anxiety better and working on anxiety in different settings.
