By taking this opportunity to explore all the ways a supportive counseling relationship can improve your mental health and overall well-being you are taking the first step! As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 18 years of counseling experience I have had the opportunity to provide services to clients in a variety of community and institutional settings including hospitals, correctional facilities, group practices and my own private practice for 10+ years. I look forward to walking beside you on this journey, supporting your efforts however I can!

Making the decision to enter therapy is not an easy one. It demands courage, vulnerability, and a deep sense of self-awareness. I'm here to support you as you navigate life's challenges. I specialize in working with individuals and couples in the queer community, especially those who might be questioning their relationship with their sexuality, gender, or substance use. Whether you're grappling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships issues or trauma, I'm here to offer guidance and understanding without judgement.

My clients experience me as empathetic, motivating, and professional when combined create a safe space and therapeutic environment. It is an absolute honor that people trust me, and I try my best to serve them adequately in a non-judgmental space. There’s a proverb that says “you may be lost, but you are not defeated.” Many people seek therapy for a variety of reasons and the mere fact of their initiative shows they may be lost but they won’t give up. I have a desire to help others discover the parts of themselves that were hidden, isolated, or maybe even afraid.

Hello! I work from a solution-focused, strengths-based, collaborative therapeutic approach. My approach involves setting clear goals at the beginning of treatment, and helping you find the solutions that work best to create the positive change that you want to see in your life. As a counselor, my mission is to implement a comfortable space, support, strength, and guidance for individuals, couples, and families to process through emotions and foster growth, as well as advocating for and providing a voice for children. I believe that through fostering support, empowerment and healing, the life you want to live is always possible.

Hello. All of us experience challenges and hardships in our lives. These challenges could make you feel disconnected from people around you, sad, overwhelmed, or alone. You may be reacting to hardships that are happening in your current life or in the past. Whether the issues are current or past, it affects your emotional well-being today. I believe therapy helps us understand our emotions, especially how these emotional struggles happen at the particular time in our lives.

I specialize in working with Black women who struggle to feel seen and heard while tending to wounds created by unrealistic societal expectations. However, I maintain the ability to work with individuals with histories of trauma, anxious thoughts, depressive feelings, and couples experiencing communication issues. Our sessions will involve holding space for who you have been, and who you are, while challenging you to see who you’ve always had the capacity to be. As a Spelman-educated therapist, I understand the need for Black women to have safe spaces to show up as they are, instead of who they have been told to be.

The decision to seek therapy is a courageous one, and I have the utmost respect for individuals who take this step. Whether you are in need of short-term support and solutions to move through a difficult time in your life, or whether you seek the opportunity to do more intensive work on habitual patterns, therapy can be crafted to your individual needs. I enjoy working with individuals who are new to therapy as well as those with previous therapeutic experience. In addition to private practice, I am a co-founder of SpringSource Psychological Center, where I supervise excellent clinicians with immediate availability for new clients.

Are you struggling to manage feelings of anxiety, depression, anger or stress? Are you experiencing increased stressors due to life transitions or relationship concerns? I can help you gain skills to manage your stressors, discover your inner strengths, and support you in making positive changes. I specialize in supporting individuals of all ages struggling with managing distressing emotions, stressful life transitions, and challenging interpersonal relationships.

We all have stories inside of us that deserve to be heard. Whether you're going through a new life transition, feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life, or trying to move forward from painful past experiences, you deserve a safe space to sort through your experiences. You deserve a space where you can be your real self and not have to put on a mask, where you feeI truly heard and known. Healing begins when we are reminded that we are not alone in our struggles and we don't have to sit in pain, shame, and isolation. Sometimes, we just need a place to sort through our thoughts and feelings with someone who listens.

Well Grounded to me means a lot of different things but overall it’s about having a regulated nervous system. It means, making sure your cup is full before you try to fill others. It’s realizing that putting yourself first doesn’t mean you can’t show up in your other relationships. My goal is to help you find ways to reclaim your time, energy and power, so that you can be well & stay grounded. I want you to feel grounded in your shoes, socks and on this earth so that you can take up the space that surrounds you. You have to be grounded before you can blossom and you deserve to bloom.

Sometimes life stress piles up and we find ourselves needing to talk things through with someone. Starting or returning to therapy is a courageous step so it’s important to find the right therapist. I work with people who may be struggling with anxiety at work or in relationships, emotional pain from the past, struggles with sex and intimacy, and navigating life transitions. Often times my clients want to see changes take shape in their life. These changes may look like feeling more confident and self-assured, more present with the people they care most about, enjoying a more fulfilling sex life, and a sense of self-mastery.

I am passionate about working with women that struggle with symptoms of anxiety and depression. Navigating motherhood, work and balancing all that life throws our way can be challenging. I provide a safe space for individuals to be their authentic self, teach methods of coping with emotions and support setting healthy boundaries to increase overall self-confidence. I also enjoy working with adolescents/teens and young adults that struggle with impulsivity, identifying and managing emotions, and learning ways of coping with challenges that they may face in school, at home or in the community.

Wow…how did the day turn out like this? No, how did the YEAR turn out like this? It’s felt like a complete shit show. The career that went up in flames, that grief and loss that swallowed you whole, the relationship struggles that make you want to pull your hair (and eyebrows) out…the health issues that make you permanently set up camp in bed all day with your dog…it’s really f-cking sucked. And it’s been so lonely. No one really seems to GET IT and nothing seems to help. Cue the magic wand, please?! Well, I know I’m not a magic wand and therapy isn’t either BUT I will tell you that you can feel a hell of a lot better…

Hi there, so glad you're here! I most often work with clients who are looking to improve their self-esteem, manage daily stress, work on communication, learn to set boundaries, and who are experiencing life transitions. By integrating evidence-based practices with a client-centered approach, I aim to create a safe, confidential, judgement-free environment. Within this space I provide guidance, support, and most importantly, encourage you to grow without limitations.

You want to live a life free from the heaviness of anxiety. You deserve to feel secure and empowered to make decisions that align with your values. You are curious about a life that exists outside of the rules, limitations, and expectations that do not reflect your authentic self. Together, we will create a non-judgmental space for self-exploration.

Being queer myself, I often work with LGBTQ young adults and teens who are navigating life stressors while forming their identities. I’m formally certified with EMDRIA international in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and often use this approach to support clients' healing from childhood & other interpersonal traumatic experiences. I also assist clients in their processing of other aspects of identity including family, ethnicity, faith, and spirituality. I am very passionate about working with queer folks, people of faith, and additionally, those with post-traumatic stress symptoms and/or PTSD.
