We have all or at some point in time will experience a life-changing or even downright traumatic event. It doesn’t matter if it happened in your childhood or adulthood, it marks you. It changes you. It leads to feelings of burnout, poor self-care, irritability, depression, anxiety, sick and tired of being sick and tired, and more. Those changes can be difficult to work through alone. You are not alone (Sing it with me, I know the song popped into your head). Together we will learn what you need to live a life where you feel authentic, living according to your values so that you'll be present and fulfilled in your life.

Something happened. Whatever it was, it rocked your world. You're not the same. You feel broken, defeated, anxious, shattered. You question yourself, your value. You don't know who to trust. Can you even trust yourself? How did this happen and how can you ensure it doesn't happen again? Maybe you've been here before- it feels like a pattern. You blame yourself. You blame others. You're angry and numb and overwhelmed all at once. You wear the mask daily- you look okay from the outside, but inside is a whole other place: self doubt, unworthiness, fear, anxiety and depression. You've tried but you just can't find the way out.

Do you desire a meaningful relationship with yourself and others? Are life challenges impacting your quality of life? If so, you are not alone and therapy can provide you with the guidance and support needed to move toward mental, physical, and emotional balance for a healthier more successful life. I believe creating a strong therapeutic relationship is of paramount importance in the process of change and a key ingredient towards your progress in therapy. While being supportive, I’ll also challenge you to acknowledge and confront unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviors that are interfering with your personal goals.

Making the first call is sometimes the hardest part of the therapeutic process. I commend you for your strength and courage in seeking help. One of the most important steps of pursuing counseling is finding a passionate, knowledgeable, and trusting therapist that you feel comfortable with. One that will sit with you through your difficult moments and help you to recognize or remind you of your strength. If a mood disorder is taking control of your life, I can help you to learn how to manage it. If you are experiencing challenges with your significant other(s) I can help you to improve the connection, understanding, and intimacy.

To others it may seem like you've got it all together, but on the inside you're spinning out of control. Panic randomly punches you in the chest, taking your breath away, and you can't focus on anything else other than how to make it stop. You are consumed by trying to keep up with everyone else since they seem to have it all together, but you can barely function through the day. You feel like an awful mom because you are lashing out on your kids and hating the daily monotony instead of "embracing the joy of motherhood." You feel like you are failing your partner because somewhere along this journey you just lost yourself.

Are you looking to heal your relationship with food, declare truce with your body, and learn how to eat in a way that is peaceful, attuned, and enjoyable? As a licensed psychologist and certified eating disorder specialist and supervisor, I specialize in the treatment of binge eating, disordered eating, body image concerns, and issues related to bariatric surgery. I use an anti-diet Health At Every Size (R) informed approach that incorporates mindful eating along with more traditional talk-therapy techniques to help you develop a healthier relationship with food and your body.

I specialized in working with adults and couples who continue to struggle with deeply destressing life changing events, difficulties in their relationship with partner. Anxiety and depressive symptoms. Can you relate to any of these issues? Find it hard to break away from thinking too much. Constantly running on empty. You are resenting your partner, because you feel you are the only one putting in the effort, you feel like a burden, feel empty and alone. You are struggling but nobody knows. You feel you are faking your way through academia due to its hypercompetitiveness nature. Leaving you in a place of overwhelm and overload.

My art as a therapist lies in creating a safe and nonjudgmental environment in which my clients feel embraced and empowered to explore new possibilities. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or simply seeking a more fulfilling life, I'm here to offer you a personalized treatment approach tailored to your unique needs. It can be challenging and disheartening to face struggles alone, but together we can embark on a transformative journey to break free from old patterns.

Are you struggling with your relationship with food and body image? Has your struggle with eating and body image not been understood by medical providers and people you are close to? Have you searched for ways to get support for eating concerns where your cultural background and identities are centered? It can be hard to pursue recovery from an eating disorder, depression, or anxiety while also navigating relationships and your career. Your eating disorder can still show up when you don't expect it to even after putting efforts in your recovery. Support can be helpful no matter what phase of the journey you are on.

Yay, you found me! I am SO excited to welcome new clients to a facilitated healing and growth journey. I will be your guide as I tune into my intuition to support you and hold intimate space for your healing, expression, and conscious awakening. You can expect warmth, kindness, compassion, respect, and appreciation for the unique individual you are. There will be laughs, smiles, inspiration, collaboration, new perspectives, as well as an exploration of dreams, values, and how to create what you want in life. There will be talk of energy and the universe. I will see you holistically as being of body, mind, emotions, soul, and spirit.

The Third Wave Center or Centro de la Tercera Onda provides evidence based practices in both English and Spanish language via a bi-cultural, bilingual team of professionals under the supervision of Dra. Kathleen Marie Kelly Devlin. The Center focuses mainly on treatments that include an element of mindfulness including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Therapy. We also provide Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, Transference Focused Psychotherapy, Prolonged Exposure and Exposure with Response Prevention.

Therapy works best when there is a strong, trusting relationship between the client and therapist. My goal is to create a collaborative and supportive environment where you feel safe sharing your challenges and hopes for the future. I believe evidence-based therapy techniques are most successful when they are applied flexibly, taking the context of your life, personal identities, culture, and past experiences into account.

I provide trauma informed Autism/ADHD/other (qualitative) evaluations and Psychotherapy for individuals, families and couples. My approach when collaborating with a patient providing therapy is to focus on their history, culture, identity and/or spirituality. I provide a safe space for you to explore your feelings, determine solutions and create a sense of balance in your life while embracing your own beliefs. I provide therapy remotely and use various modalities through an integrative approach.

Guys, you don't have to struggle with sex addiction and traumas. Life may feel hopeless, and your anxiety may be higher than you've ever felt before. Yet, it doesn't have to stay this way. My clients all have two things in common: 1) They want to be here for themselves, even when others are making them, and 2) They want to work to achieve their goals. They come to me usually in a state of panic, depression, or even when their world is chaotic and out of control. When you're ready to tackle your issues, give me a call.

Nothing’s worked. No matter what you try, you can’t shake the painful memories from resurfacing. Some days you can ignore them for a while, but they always come back. Your world is shrinking. The only place you feel safe is isolation either in your room or your mind. Weekend activities and social events stress you out, so you’ve stopped going. It isn’t sustainable. Although you try to keep it inside, people sense something is off with you lately. You considered contacting friends to talk, but it felt uncomfortable to open up. The triggers come out of nowhere. You can’t control or predict when anxiety will flood your system.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. Health problems can be exhausting. Going from doctor to doctor or trying one treatment after another but not seeing any real improvement, you try your best to stay positive but it wears you down. It affects your work, your family, your self-confidence. You may become more depressed or anxious and start to wonder if people are starting to think YOU are the problem. And, of course, you're not. Stress exacerbates every problem and learning to be calm and balanced improves every life situation allowing us to learn and grow rather than feel drained by life experiences.

Now Accepting Virtual Clients in 37 states! Check my website to see if I'm practicing near you. Congratulations! Your search landed you on the page of a trauma-informed, compassionate, and affirming psychologist. A proud Morehouse Man, my journey has taught me that life can hard and the road to success can be lonely-especially in settings that lack diversity. This is further complicated when asking for help is frowned upon because of cultural mistrust and expectations. Hesitation or unwarranted self-appraisal can result when, instead, you should be celebrating your many accomplishments, your strength and undying resiliency!

You finally made it, and you’re still not happy. You graduated, landed a dream job, and have a nice home. You checked every box on the “should-do list” and while you’re not completely miserable you're not far from it. You long for Fridays and dread Mondays, not that it matters because you catch up on work on the weekends. If you feel overwhelmed by work that has taken over the other areas of your life, I can help. I help professionals learn to manage stress, feel less anxious, and set boundaries at the office without jeopardizing their job.
