Congratulations on taking steps toward establishing a more fulfilling, healthy, and successful life! In therapy, I work collaboratively with you to enhance your understanding of the internal and environmental factors that impact life, emerge as relational patterns, and potentially impede success. I offer a safe, comfortable space for the exploration of your concerns, ensuring you feel heard, respected, and understood. I enjoy working with diverse clients: of varying backgrounds and therapeutic needs. Though trained as a generalist, I sought additional education, practica, and research opportunities to develop the specialties of 1) counseling traditionally marginalized populations, 2) program development and evaluation, and 3) consultation and outreach.

Seeking therapy can be intimidating and sometimes uncomfortable. Sharing your inner most thoughts with another person can feel very vulnerable. However, if you are reading this, you have already taken a courageous step in finding the help you need and deserve. I strive to provide a nonjudgmental, empathic, safe, and welcoming environment where you can explore your past and present, manage stress, address challenges in relationships, and more.

In therapy, there is no "one size fits all!" I work with adults, adolescents and children on an individual basis on many issues, especially issues of loss, trauma, depression and anxiety. Many people suffering from these issues also develop substance abuse, eating disorders and phobias. I believe therapy is a collaboration of therapist and client to understand and treat the issues that keep you from living the life you want.

I establish a therapeutic relationship where clients learn to communicate and advocate for themselves in relationships with others. I teach clients skills to increase self-awareness and expand ways of responding to chronic stressors. These skills fall under the following themes: emotional regulation, distress management, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. In my work with clients, I reinforce choices that are connected to clients' value systems in order to stay motivated and working toward their personal goals.

I am dedicated to helping those who have experienced trauma, whether it be a single incident, episodic trauma or chronic trauma, and help guide them on their path to healing and recovery. As well as, being dedicated to the recovery process for those who have survived a loss or multiple losses and are experiencing complications that impact their ability to heal and move forward. There is a special place in my heart for children with special needs and helping their families and the children navigate with the multitude of issues they face through case management services.

As a strength-based therapist I believe mindfulness is the best approach to life's challenges. I help to empower clients seeking to move forward and to achieve their wellness goals. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and young adults who are experiencing challenges with academics, parenting, family dynamics, transitions, and regulatory and behavioral issues. My goal is to help clients confront their problems in a way that results in practical, long-term solutions. I am uniquely skilled with working with individuals with developmental disabilities.

Thank you for reaching out. If you are looking for an empathetic person to listen to you, this could be the place. I treat anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, personality disorders, and relationship issues. If you are looking for therapist to help decrease symptoms or wanting to make behavioral change, this is a safe place you can heal, learn about yourself, and make changes.

I conduct psychodynamic therapy with an integrated biopsychosocial approach. I specialize in therapy for depression and anxiety, communication enhancement, work and career issues, life transitions, stress management, women's issues, issues of aging, and physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse issues. In addition to providing individual psychotherapy, I routinely conduct psychological evaluations for a variety of concerns including ADHD, Alzheimer's Disease, Autism Spectrum Disorders, educational assessments, learning concerns, pre-surgical evaluations, traumatic brain injuries, and emotional disturbances.

I began my career working as a school based clinician working with children and adolescents. After gaining an understanding of each client's needs, I guide and support them in implementing the changes necessary to improve peer and family relationships, emotional health, and overall quality of life at home and at school. By selecting and tailoring the appropriate therapeutic approach, the client is encouraged to work towards achieving their personal goals for healing, growth and wellness. These approaches may involve therapeutic play (for younger children and adolescents) as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Often, we have the desire and motivation to change, but we don’t know how to get started. It can be helpful to have support that provides opportunities for exploration, creativity, and increased self-awareness along our journeys. That’s exactly where I come in. I’m a Black, queer, able-bodied ciswoman who is passionate about supporting you as you navigate your journey of self-exploration, growth, and discovery.
