Life happens to all of us; stressors are inevitable, unresolved feelings may arise and it can all be just a little bit overwhelming. Despite our best efforts we may find ourselves overly stressed, alone, anxious, or just tired. Whether it’s dealing with a transition, a loss, a tragedy, a relationship, or just the daily highs and lows, we all deserve a place to decompress and process what life throws at us. Maybe this is a tough season for you, or maybe you just need support as you work on your goals. Therapy should act as both a safe space filled with warmth and compassion, and a brave space that challenges and empowers.

Welcome to a fresh start! I work with clients from all walks of life supporting them in their therapeutic journey. Learning, implementing and developing new skills sets so you can be the best version of yourself is my priority. I serve individuals, families, couples and adolescents with variety of life issue combinations. As a therapist, I believe in working from a strength based approach that is holistic and guided by the individual needs of the client. My approach is calm, warm, inviting, creating a safe space for you to feel supported and accepted.

Let’s be honest, life can be tough. Constant changes, daily stressors, relationship woes, anxiety issues, low self-esteem, and insecurities can take a toll on us all. Need a safe space and a supportive listening ear to help guide you through the challenges in life? My mission is to provide you with a safe space where you can feel accepted just as you are and are able to feel emotions that may be suppressed due to the busy nature of life, process these thoughts and feelings, promote self-awareness, and inspire you to grow, heal and move forward.

I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provider and integrate CBT, DBT, ERP, ACT, and other cognitive, behavioral, and exposure based treatments while working with individuals with anxiety, depression, OCD, Trichotillomania, PTSD, and behavioral concerns. I believe in the importance of psychoeducation, collaboration, and genuineness in my work.

The therapeutic journey is a great way to challenge outdated perspectives while providing a new lens on emotional & mental well-being. My role is to guide you through the journey of self-discovery & self-mastery, aligning you with your redefined perspective & life purpose. From challenges with anxiety & depression to trauma & family history, my purpose is to assist you in considering the various solutions for a more fulfilling life. It is together, through the therapeutic process, we will tackle your life challenges, leading to growth and prosperity. My hope is that we learn how to reflect, heal, and embrace new beginnings!

Are you looking for someone to hold you accountable? Has there been changes in your life that are stressful, overwhelming and unmanageable? Do you need a safe space to talk, vent and work through tough challenges? Let’s work together to develop solutions to any difficulty that you may be facing.

Often times we find reasons to devalue our own needs because acknowledging pain is hard. I encourage you to take this moment to put your happiness and well-being first. People reach out to me when they feel less in control of their lives. When stressful changes in life leave them feeling restless at night; they aren't able to turn off their mind. They often feel on edge, as if they might cry or lose their cool at any moment. It becomes difficult to feel joy from their usual pleasures. When clients sit down with me they want to regain a sense of normalcy and peace.

Are you feeling frustrated, irritable , and mad at the world? Are you ready to feel at peace, and proud of the way you are living your everyday life? We all have challenges in life, and sometimes additional support is necessary. No matter how small or overwhelming the challenge I approach treatment from a place of non judgment to identify the root of problems as opposed to offering a temporary fix. During our first session I will take time to get to know you. I will ask about your past experiences with therapy, and what you want to accomplish during our tome together.

Hello and welcome current, and future clients. I always ask my clients, "How are you feeding your mind & body?" Your health is a reflection of who & what you allow into your space, as well as, what you allow into your body. Your therapeutic process will be held in a safe, non-judgmental space allowing you to talk about your frustrations, goals, wants, hopes, and fears. If you have experienced a traumatic past or are currently facing difficult decisions, allow me to support you on your journey to find & embrace purpose and peace. This approach will taken for all Counseling, ESA, Health Coaching & Clinical Supervision Clients (DC&MD)

A Counselor with a passion for helping the stuck, "GET UNSTUCK" by empowering clients to rewrite the narratives in their life that are hindering their forward movement and their ability to realize their best self. Remaining ever mindful that “every client is unique” and facing unique life challenges and mental health concerns, I develop and employ individualized treatment plans undergirded by an integrative personal counseling theory that interweaves and leverages the concepts and treatment modalities integral to, but not limited to, solution-focused, cognitive behavioral, and positive psychology.

If you are currently struggling or know someone who is, I am here to help. You've already taken a positive step in trying to improve your life, by finding a supportive path. With over 20 years of experience as a licensed clinical psychologist, I have had the pleasure of working with individuals dealing with many concerns hindering their growth, such as: relationship concerns, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, life transitions, pain management, career counseling, personal growth, law enforcement/EMS, LGBTI. Many years psychological assessment experience and supervision to doctoral students in clinical settings.

I am a mental and emotional health advocate who strongly believes that mental/emotional health should be promoted and talked about more, especially in Black and Brown communities. We need it. Self-care is the best care and the second that we choose to better ourselves, the world around us becomes better too. A new and uncommon level of strength is tapped into when people can acknowledge that they need help. Distinguishing the problem from the person, I strive to help people walk through the steps necessary to reach their happiest and most influential selves.

Or maybe you just feel differently than normal and can't quite explain what's going on? Is life just flat out hard?! I get it, come talk to me! I am not your conventional therapist, and I am invested in you making it through this period of your life. I have a knack for empathizing and assisting real people find real solutions within themselves.

You’re trying to hold it together as best as you can. You are able to be there for everyone else but struggle to show up for yourself. Sometimes you just feel so down but you can’t quite figure out why. It's been going on for a while now and no matter what you have tried, nothing seems to make you feel better. It may be something from your past that you are having a hard time dealing with or may even avoid thinking about. You feel like no one gets it. So you put on a brave face each day and decide you can deal with whatever it is later. You question your every move and your relationships, thinking “something must be wrong with me"
