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!

Are you a caretaker trying your hardest to understand a child or vice versa? Are you struggling with a relationship (familial, romantic, platonic, or professional)? Do your emotions, or the emotions of someone close to you feel out of control? Is it difficult for you to practice positive self-talk and refrain from comparing yourself to other people? We are all raised to believe specific ideas about who we are - beliefs that impact our decisions and behaviors. These concepts are frequently rooted in cultural norms and stereotypes that shape our identities and have an overbearing influence on our experiences.

With me as your therapist, we will collaborate to identify your short- and long-term goals with the aim of living a more satisfying, meaningful life. Life is full of challenges, questions, and experiences that can result in you needing or wanting to process them with a professional. If you are feeling burdened by your thoughts or current conditions, we can work to release some of that weight together. I strive to make every client feel accepted, cared for, and respected, while also challenging you to meet your goals and become a better version of yourself. I welcome you to come to therapy exactly as you are.

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.

I work best with people who want to change their lives but feel stuck, confused and paralyzed by fear and anxiety. They feel dishonest with themselves and frustrated for giving up on their true desires. However, deep inside they know they can do better. This struggle is their most intimate enemy. They feel alienated and unhappy sometimes in their relationships, work, profession, and in their daily lives in general. I help them to feel more confident about themselves, motivated to take control over their lives and to make the changes they want to make.
