I believe that the relationship that you have with your therapist is essential for change. Finding a good fit can be hard, but I'm here to help you through that process. We will work together to help you better understand yourself so you can see things more clearly and uncover opportunities to move through challenges, conflicts, trauma, and anxiety. Gaining insight into how the patterns from your past impact your daily experience is an important tool for meaningful change. Together, we will collaborate to identify and resolve challenges, and deepen awareness so you can move forward to your best self.

Living a successful creative life is possible. Are you an artist, writer, musician, academic, or entrepreneur struggling to realize the life you desire? Are you self-critical? Have you noticed problematic patterns in relationships? Are you anxious, depressed, overworked, overwhelmed, and beginning to wonder if you'll ever feel better? Are there symptoms you suspect are related to unresolved trauma, and you're ready for release? As a holistic psychodynamic and somatic therapist, I welcome you. My experience is that our needs will best be met by a skilled and imaginative therapist who attends to mind and body, psyche and soma.

You are feeling like life is full of chaos and no matter what you do, you can’t seem to get a handle on what is happening. Your relationships are broken, or strained and not only is it affecting you, but others are pulling away. You feel lost as if you have no purpose in life. You are tired of the spinning wheel. Depression, anxiety, anger, relationship challenges and much more keep you stuck and unable to grow. ENOUGH! You're ready for answers to start a new Holistic, healthy journey and become that whole person you were meant to be - Mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually - whole!

I strive to cultivate a trusting and honest relationship with my clients so that they feel fully seen. I have more than 10 years of experience working with families, individuals, children, and adolescents in various settings including schools, direct therapy, community mental health, non-profits, child welfare, and criminal justice. I provide clinical services to individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, high-stress work environments, and coping with life transitions.

I enjoy working with individuals and families, helping them to be the best version of themselves. I am dedicated to helping you achieve your personal and professional goals. If you desire to be in control of your mental, physical, emotional, and financial well-being... Let's work together to set and achieve goals, build healthy coping skills, and develop practical solutions that can empower you in your daily living. My Motto: Be the “BOSS” of your life, so you can be the best version of yourself.

From an early age, you always had to be strong. Be a good girl. Never complain. Don’t cause trouble. Now, you’re an adult with your own life, family, and problems, but you’re still hiding your feelings. You’re always there for everyone else, and yet no one is there for YOU. And now all you want to do is hide and disappear but you can’t. It doesn’t matter how sad you feel, you still have to keep a brave face. Sure, you may feel lost and empty inside, but the kids still need to get to school, work deadlines are fast approaching, and the expectations on you are as demanding as ever.

Relationships bring happiness, but also create longing and loneliness. They can preoccupy us and destroy our sense of safety and self-respect. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, afraid, or lost, or are unable to decide about staying or leaving, have irresolvable conflicts, unmet needs, or feel devalued, I can help - also if you seek guidance with codependency, trauma, communication, intimacy or self-esteem. You'll gain awareness in your first session and quickly see changes in handling emotions, conflict, and boundaries. Whether seeking individual or couple counseling, you'll find solutions, empower, and an improved sense of well-being

I am a plant-based psychotherapist highlighting the importance of nutrition, movement, spirituality and environmentalism in connecting the mind, body and soul. I am also a practicing yogi, nature lover and avid self-healer. I am tender, integrative, grounded and nurturing. I center my work around connecting the mind, body and soul to find peace and energetic balance with various holistic and somatic practices. In using these approaches, clients learn their abilities to address any anxiety, depression, traumas, loss of self, difficult relationships and other maladaptive behaviors to become their most desired and divine selves.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in providing psychotherapy to adults and their families. I have provided treatment and conducted evaluations for individuals in clinical settings from private practices, to hospitals, to community health centers. I have a true passion for working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds and values cultural awareness in a therapeutic setting. I empower individuals to enhance their lives through the application of evidence-based therapeutic models and relational support.

My clinical practice is based in trauma-informed and individualized care. My approach to therapy is person-centered and community based. I believe in the importance of exploring how race, culture, gender identity and socio-economic status impact our mental health. It is my belief that quality clinical care looks at the individual from a holistic perspective. I engage individuals in a way that they not only feel heard but seen. My purpose is to create a safe and compassionate space where individuals feel motivated to explore their inner selves and maximize their full potential.

Life isn’t always easy! Even the strongest amongst us need a little help to work through life’s challenges. Surviving but not thriving in your relationships? People assume you have it all together, and may not understand you’re struggling, leaving you to feel lonely at times. Do you get tired of overthinking or feel paralyzed by fear, anxiety or the need to get it just right? Are you feeling overwhelmed, and stressed by the pressures of life? Does your self-esteem dip when you can’t meet all of life's demands? Tired of second guessing or compromising who you are? Past traumas or PTSD interfering with your inner peace?

My passion is helping you make choices: the choice of how you want to view yourself and the type of life you want to lead. Working together as hardy co-explorers, we will probe where you are in life, where you want to go and how best to get you there. You are the captain of your fate and the master of your soul; my goal is to provide you with a space in which you are free to understand and embrace yourself as captain and master, empowering you to make healthier life choices.

As a Black Man who is Queer, I became a therapist because I understand that all behavior serves a purpose– conscious & unconscious. I aspire to help folx understand their behavior and establish coping skills needed to live the lives they've always wanted. I believe that mental/emotional suffering is unnecessary and, when possible, should be avoided using healthy coping skills. I typically work with individuals and couples who span ethnic and cultural backgrounds, are new to therapy, have encountered past turbulent therapy experiences, and whose intersections of identities are not often represented in therapeutic settings.

I hold my master’s degree in clinical psychology and am finishing my doctoral degree. Throughout my experiences, I have worked with individuals, families, and kids in some of the most challenging situations to overcome some of the most challenging times in their lives. As a strengths-based coach, I focus on helping you understand the patterns in your life, and we focus on building your resiliency skills for breaking unhelpful habits and replacing them with helpful lifestyle changes. My superpower is finding potential in the hidden and overlooked places when you can't see it in yourself and then empowering you to take control.

Have you been having difficulties engaging in things you previously enjoyed? Are you isolating and finding it harder to talk to family and friends? Suppose you are looking for a safe empowering space where you can heal, learn to love, and accept yourself while reconnecting with your authentic self. In that case, you have already taken the first step in improving your situation by visiting my profile.

I treat clients from a trauma informed perspective. If it is addiction issues (substance or process) anxiety, depression or other mood disorders, so much of what informs these maladies is developmental or relational trauma. Big T or shock trauma can bring on many underlying issues that have been dormant. I work with clients to carefully assess their history and treatment goals. I use CBT, Psychodynamics, EMDR and other trauma treatment modalities to effectively resolve the inner disturbance.

I believe everyone can obtain mental stability and peak performance even during life transitions and crisis situations. At One Neuro our clinicians provide therapy, tailored evaluations, mindfulness, and neurofeedback, treatment for children and adults who experience low achievement, attentional challenges, learning difficulties, and developmental disorders. We also work with individuals who have complex medical conditions (e.g., tics, concussion, migraines, epilepsy, chronic pain, sleep difficulty, cancer, TBI, genetic conditions) that may be impacting their adaptive functioning.
