Above all treatment modalities, the biggest predictor of success in therapy is a positive relationship between the client and the therapist. As a therapist, I work to create a safe, non-judgemental therapeutic environment in which clients can heal and grow. During our time in therapy together, we will work closely to analyze what struggles you are facing, their underlying causes, and try to change the behaviors and thought patterns that are keeping you from being the person you want to be.

For me, psychotherapy is offering patience, understanding, insight, acceptance, compassion, relationship, and a secure base to persons suffering from burdens too heavy to carry alone. I compare myself to a container into which my patients pour their unbearable feelings. My task is to detoxify these feelings and make them easier to understand and tolerate. I help my patients to use healthy relationships with others to meet their emotional needs and the emotional needs of others. To establish and maintain healthy relationships, we work in session on understanding our own and others’ mental states (wishes, feelings, intentions) and how these are connected to how we behave toward each other. Relationships tend to work better when we are able to understand our own and others’ minds and how our minds influence how we behave toward each other.

My ideal client is struggling with childhood shadows induced by family dysfunction, trauma, alcoholism, perfection tendencies and an overwhelming need for approval & control which interrupts their growth; replicates toxic patterns and undermines self-esteem. My training will be helpful in connecting the dots while promoting healthy responses to life challenges. A plethora of tools is used to enhance your capacity to realize your potential so that you can live the best version of yourself while demarcating the distinction between your history and your destiny.

I believe that difficulties and concerns can present opportunities for healing and growth. In my work with clients, I provide a space where one can feel understood, supported and empowered.

Know your Worth. Trust your Inner Wisdom. Invest in your Wellness. This is the life, right? However, you feel stuck, worthless, anxious & unfulfilled in life. You yearn for more peace and contentment, yet you constantly fill your schedule with commitments because it is impossible for you to say No. You are hard on yourself for not setting boundaries with your friends. Again. You want to protect your energy without feeling guilty and trust that you are making the best decisions for yourself. You want to stop just surviving.

Mental health is not limited to having a diagnosis or being labeled, it is about our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Checking in with yourself about how you are feeling, learning about ways to manage negative symptoms or experiences, and accessing support around you are all great ways to stay mentally healthy. I use an array of clinical and wholistic wellness tools to empower and support my clients including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Breathwork, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and TFCBT, Mindfulness, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and The Afrocentric Perspective, among others.
