The first step is realizing you want, need and desire a change! The next step is deciding to make a change. My experience working with people in need of support or change can help, all while using a strengths based perspective to help individuals realize they can heal. Whether it's depression, anxiety, life changes or stress, there is always the potential for a better life. I facilitate the healing process using a myriad of therapeutic approaches unique to the individual all while providing a safe place to express yourself without judgement.

I specialize in cultural and gender specific issues, particularly with women of color and the special obstacles they face due to the fact that many are not taught to date. This is a very important skill that leads to relationship stability and happiness. On the other hand men face obstacles regarding their challenges of staying faithful and oftentimes blame "biology" and their mates for this instead of getting to the core of the problem and the anxiety they feel when contemplating commitment and monogamy.

Do you ever sit and wonder “what the eff is happening to me”? You know you don’t feel like yourself, and when people ask how you’re doing, you’re not sure how to answer them. Or you’re not even sure how to answer that in your head. Welp, let's talk. I know I’ll sound like a cliche saying this but, this is exactly what therapy is. I like to think of myself as google translate that takes those “I don’t know” and “ I feel off”, etc… and helps you pinpoint what IS going on and in the process help you with being able to communicate it, whether it be to your parents, family, friends or a stranger.

When you reflect on your relationships with your parents/caregivers, does it bring up hurt, feelings of being undervalued, or misunderstood. Do you find yourself wading through the waters of the impact of those relationships which has resulted in constantly striving for perfection or approval from your parents or others? Perhaps you are fed up of this pattern but you’re unsure of how to break it.

Therapy is a complex dynamic that unravels various topics that may be uncomfortable and challenging to face but doing so provides relief leading to healing and entering a new phase in your life. Developing appropriate coping skills to manage emotions, life stressors, and problems is key within sessions. Oftentimes, we build maladaptive coping skills due to modeled behavior, life experiences, or simply for survival so challenging them may seem impossible, but I am here to say it is not. Disrupting those maladaptive skills will require patience with yourself but having support in therapy makes the process obtainable and manageable.

Are you a professional managing a career, dealing with family obligations or perhaps addressing life transitions that are causing you to feel insecure and unmanageable? I get it. There are days when you may feel like you’ve lost control, unable to make decisions or questioning your choices because you’re feeling overwhelmed. You may even want to give up! And that’s OK. We don’t always have the answers or the energy to do it all. The expectations that others put on us or the ones we put on ourselves, rarely gives us permission to make mistakes. When do you give yourself permission to care of YOU?

I work from a strength based perspective to provide solution-focused counseling for a range of life issues. By focusing on needs and goals we begin to uncover strengths and resources to help create a sustainable future.

Therapy is not a "one size fits all." Each person is unique, individual, autonomous and complex, we all face situations in a particular way, and that is why when going to a professional, care must be personalized for each individual.

Therapy offers a space where you can slow down and learn from your life experiences. Our conversations will help you develop a greater understanding of who you are, including the parts of yourself that you might want to change. Over time you can begin to let go of ways of coping and being that, while comfortable and familiar, are no longer serving you. We’ll work together to address what’s getting in the way of having a life that is more authentic and emotionally healthy.

The problems which humans face can be daunting. Often so complex, whether it is physical, spiritual, emotional or psychological; can impact our ability to function at our fullest potential. It is often difficult for us to initiate a healthy beginning, but it is important for us to begin in a direction which is most beneficial to our overall wellbeing. It is essential that we understand how our upbringing, beliefs, and societal factors influence our behavior. Believing that everyone is deserving of therapeutic guidance; I am currently offering sessions below the current market value.

I am a Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years in the mental health field. I prefer for my sessions to be more conversational and less rigid and “clinical,” as clients seem to respond best to a more relaxed flow. I truly want us to be partners in our therapeutic relationship. I always strive to ensure my clients feel like their emotions are validated, that they have a safe space to open up and be vulnerable, and that they are free from judgement during our time together.
