I am dedicated to fostering a safe environment where the therapeutic alliance flourishes, striving towards inclusive healing and guiding clients on a journey of self-actualization.

I believe that the client's experience, both in and out of the therapy room, is most important in a helping relationship. When working with me, you can expect an active and caring therapeutic approach that is centered around exploration and collaboration. I incorporate both cognitive and emotion focused approaches in my work and help you to examine patterns, behaviors, and processes that may no longer be useful. I also specialize in couples therapy and use a process oriented approach that is focused on understanding communication patterns, increasing emotional harmony, and overall relational satisfaction.

Combining a decade's worth of experience in public health, reproductive health, sexuality education, and community organizing, I prioritize equity and the human experience in my work with all clients. I operate from an approach where dignity and compassion are paramount to the emotional space I hold for others. My specialty lies in creating a safe space for my clients to process difficult emotions accompanying various life experiences, especially experiences that metabolize into a hectic inner and outer world.

"The hardest part of the journey is taking the first step." Beginning therapy, like starting most things in life, can be scary. I am committed to helping you learn about your best self by providing a safe, supportive, and culturally sensitive therapeutic experience. Through therapy, I can help you address current and long-standing difficulties, build and facilitate healthier relationships, manage work-life balances, alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, and become more resilient and adaptable to change.

Are you a high achieving professional who is experiencing anxiety, stress, self doubt, family conflict or a major life transition. Are you dissatisfied and stressed by your personal and work relationships? Have you experienced childhood trauma that has yet to be resolved or healed? Having difficulty focusing, relaxing or sleeping? Perhaps, you are on the brink of making a big decision, but need to talk through some difficult topics before taking a step? Are you seeking therapy that is anchored in your identity and life experience? We will work together to make the changes you truly desire and bring more peace into your life.

Life's complexities can pose challenges, yet within them, hope persists. As a clinician, my role isn't that of an expert, but of a collaborative partner walking alongside you. I integrate a diverse array of methodologies, including cognitive behavioral therapy, empowerment therapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. My approach is centered on amplifying the inherent strength within you.

Many of the clients that I partner with are individuals who are looking for joy but may struggle with past issues, hurts, and pain. Some of my partners struggle with rejection, race, class and gender issues that are impacting their peace. Others that I work with are looking for their niche in life and need help processing their emotions or just need an extra ear. I have partnered with many who are along their grieving process journey or dealing with a break-up. Some may come from emotionally or physically abusive backgrounds, be it from parents or partners. Together we can build the future you want, need and have imagined!

Life as a Black girl is nothing short of magical. However, life transitions, societal pressures, and oftentimes, the desire to "have it all together" can throw us off our square. Giving too much of our "magic" or disbursing it in the wrong places can leave us emotionally burnt out and seeking answers externally when the key to change is within. In session, we work to uncover those belief systems and generational traumas that may keep you stuck in a loop. We address patterns of self-sabotage, setting boundaries, and overall coping to strengthen your sense of self and improve your relationships with others.

Do you feel disconnected or misunderstood in interpersonal relationships? Do you find yourself in similar patterns in you relationships? Are you experiencing anxiety or low mood about life transitions and challenges? Together, we can explore the source of these challenges to identify relational and thought patterns towards paths for positive changes and to start feeling better and more fulfilled in your relationships.

Self exploration can be difficult. I am available to support you as you navigate your process.

I am passionate about supporting my clients in creating a stronger sense of self. You may find that your choices or behaviors aren't in accordance with your goals and you often feel regret, shame, and worry. Even when you’ve taken the time to sift through societal messages and make decisions based on what feels most authentic, it can still be difficult to stand firm in this while navigating family, relationships, and careers. My work is to validate, affirm, and guide you in gaining deeper understanding of what you value and radiating who you are through action and being.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Welcome - My intention as your therapist is to help you understand your personal journey and empower you to make the effective changes that you are seeking.

Life is unpredictable. You take one step forward and it pushes you two steps backwards. You jump up and gravity pulls you down. But rather than stepping in opposition of the forces of life, why not step in sync with it? Learn to dance and move to the rhythm of life. My clients learn to become mentally flexible so that they can maintain their peace as they dip, swing and dance to whatever beat life throws their way.

As a mental health researcher and expert in culture and identity conflicts, my therapy work starts with making space for your unique lived experiences, identities, and how you show up in your different worlds. I am trained in a range of evidence-based therapy techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. I help my patients learn about themselves, explore issues that have led to emotional distress, and teach skills to manage the situations at hand. Therapy can involve exploring your past, present, and future challenges and pursuing an emotional growth to handle it all.

Are you unhappy with your current situation, stuck in a career, a relationship, going through major changes in life, suffering from trauma or PTSD? I am here for you on the remarkable journey of recovery toward serenity, free from being ruled by negativity. I believe each individual is unique and has the capacity to use his/her inner resource to maximize strengths. I have worked with individuals of all ages from different backgrounds coping with depression, anxiety/phobia, identity issues, marital /relationship conflicts, addictions (including internet/video game addictions), career decisions, parenting, school or job related stress, cross-cultural and generational issues, etc.
