Life is complicated and it often leaves us feeling out of control. This feeling of being powerless can lead to suffering, and forces us to make changes in order to go on. That's what I do; I help people with making changes, whether they are trying to change their thoughts, feelings or behavior. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy focused on the personal needs and strengths of my clients. The work is rooted in building a strong relationship based on trust, understanding, and respect, that challenges individuals to learn about themselves, and to use that knowledge to implement meaningful changes in their lives.

Maybe you or someone you care about seems to have lost control of your ability to drink, take medication, eat, gamble, have sex, use the internet, play video games in a way that is not disruptive or harmful to you or the ones you love. Is someone telling you that your behavior is a problem? Are you unable to consistently predict whether or not you can stop once you start? Do you find yourself planning, thinking about or engaging in the behavior when you need to be attending to other things in your life like relationships, work or school?

I have experience working with a variety of mood (depression and bipolar), anxiety (phobias and panic) and adjustment disorders as well as the impact medical and psychiatric conditions can have on one's life and family. I enjoy helping people get to the other side of life transitions, like healing from divorce, changing jobs or careers, or caregiving stress. And for people already recovering from addiction (yours or someone else's), I bring a deep understanding of 12 Step recovery to the therapeutic experience.

Aging can be difficult--whether your own or in people you love. You might be grieving the loss of treasured relationships, frustrated with declining health, struggling with caregiving and changing roles ... or simply wanting to age gracefully. Many people experience worry, depression, and anger at times like this; others feel tired or overwhelmed; few know where to turn for information and guidance you can trust, from people who might understand. Aging is my specialty, and I would like the chance to help you reach some peace with your midlife crisis, life transition, grief or pain, caregiving, ... your life.

My passion for growth and effective living began at 16 when I worked as a certified nursing assistant at a predominantly white nursing home. In this first job, I learned the power of empathy and connection when a resident shared something deeply personal with me. He later expressed regret over his limited understanding of Black people and asked how he could do better. This interaction reinforced my belief that growth is about recognizing something greater than our current understanding and choosing to evolve. I graduated in 2007 with a dual degree in psychology and social work.

The adage “we repeat what we don’t repair” is especially true of couples. Couples often start therapy knowing that their relationship can and should be better, but they feel powerless to change. Constant fighting, threatening to leave, infidelity, always feeling distant, anxiety and depression—these are signs that something needs to change. Couples therapy with me focuses on helping you and your partner break these cycles by first understanding how they came to be. I offer a unique perspective that emphasizes the importance of exploring unconscious dynamics and your past’s influence in your relationship.

Choosing to seek counseling can be a vulnerable decision. Maybe you're wondering if things are really that bad, or if counseling can even work. As someone who has been on both sides of the therapist's chair, I can confidently say that counseling can provide relief. I strive to create a safe and collaborative therapeutic space in order to help you develop a stronger, peaceful, and more positive sense of self. Together, we can figure out how to address any personal, professional, or relationship issues you want to bring to the table.
