You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode. If your past is showing up in the present—through anxiety, self-doubt, strained relationships, or feeling disconnected from yourself—I can help, but therapy isn’t just about “coping” It’s about real change.
I help people find safety in their own minds and bodies first—because without that foundation, healing feels impossible. Using EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Narrative Therapy, we’ll work together to shift patterns that no longer serve you. This isn’t just about talking through the past—it’s about understanding how it shaped you and rewiring what no longer fits.

You’re capable, driven, and used to being the person who gets things done. You may look successful and composed while privately feeling exhausted, disconnected, or constantly under pressure to perform. Corporate baddies, professionals, graduate students, entrepreneurs, creatives, and athletes often come to me when high standards have turned into anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, chronic stress, or relentless self-criticism. These patterns are not personal failures or character defects. They are signs your nervous system is asking for relief, support, and finding a more sustainable way to function.

You may be successful, insightful, or outwardly composed, yet still sense there’s more beneath the surface. I help clients explore the deeper architecture of their emotional lives using parts work, somatic insight, and transpersonal frameworks. My practice welcomes those navigating identity, power, and longing. Especially queer, trans, neurodivergent, and spiritually attuned individuals seeking more than just coping.

Are you experiencing difficulty staying present in the moment due to overwhelming thoughts, emotions, or urges that impact your relationships? Anxiety about the future or rumination about the past might keep you stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Perhaps it seems as though part of you wants to continue whereas another part is ready for a new direction. I help individuals and couples tune into their inner worlds and choose how to show up with presence so they can respond rather than react.

I believe true healing involves hard-work, a dose of self-awareness and the diligence to see oneself as being capable of it. Let me help you get to that place using congruence, unconditional positive regard and empathetic understanding. As a Client Centered Therapist, I seek to assist you with addressing concerns, acknowledging needs and identifying goals. Although I specialize in assisting People of Color and the LGBTQIA+, the clients I accept range from ages 13-77+ in different levels of severity, nationalities and genders. I am also familiar with spirituality as a healing practice and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

I work with spiritually curious, high-achieving people who don't just want to cope with pain, fear, or challenge. They want to evolve through it. Something in your life is not responding to the level of intelligence and commitment you've thrown at it. You can see it. You understand it. And it's not changing. Your body and health are paying the price. You're giving your power away in the same relationships. You cannot get past the ceiling that has nothing to do with your talent or your effort. You know there is more. There is. I facilitate a relationship between who you truly are and every part of you that has forgotten that.

Life can get hard. There are countless obstacles that we encounter on a daily basis that can be overwhelming at times. When trying to make it through the day these obstacles sometimes present a weight that feels insurmountable. In addition, life can sometimes seem isolating and debilitating. I believe that the core component of a successful therapeutic relationship is, in fact, the relationship. Making the changes one desires is achievable through a collaborative, trusting, and compassionate dynamic.

When you are facing a major life decision, it’s easy to feel stuck between what’s expected of you and what actually feels right. I help adults especially Black women and those from multicultural backgrounds navigate transitions in relationships, career, and identity with clarity and confidence.
Together, we focus on making grounded decisions, understanding the role culture and lived experience play in these shifts, and taking meaningful steps toward a life that genuinely fits who you are.

Navigating a significant life transition? Feeling stuck, struggling to make changes, or experiencing emptiness and disconnection? Many people come to therapy because something feels off, even if they cannot fully explain what it is yet. These are common challenges I address in my practice.
My approach centers on building a strong therapeutic relationship that allows you to become more honest with yourself and others. Together, we will move beyond surface-level symptom management and explore how unconscious conflicts, past experiences, and recurring patterns may be shaping your life and getting in the way of lasting change.

Trauma leaves us disconnected from our authentic selves. You probably feel the pressure to be perfect all the time while making sure everyone else around you feels comfortable and happy and supported by you. You may be wrestling with the lasting effects of purity culture and how that has impacted your self-esteem, body image, how you relate to others, and your comfort with intimacy. You want to feel less anxious, but you are finding it difficult to feel secure in your relationships due to past experiences. But one thing is for sure: you're ready to finally feel at home with yourself.

I work with individuals & couples navigating traumatic experiences, difficult life transitions, and the broader existential challenges inherent to life, relationships, culture and identity. I believe within every person there is a wish to grow, and therapy is a place to explore ways to actualize that wish. Therapy is one of the few places where we get to be with the big questions: who am I, why do I keep doing this, what do I actually want? My own lived experiences and what I've learned from them informs my genuine hope and understanding of what it means to be stuck — and what newfound capacities support recovery and a path forward.

Are you feeling stressed out? Not getting along with others? Is your mind super busy or is it hard to think at all? Are you having trouble calming down and finding rest? Or are you shut down, stuck, unable to move? Every minute our internal experience is changing. Our nervous system is constantly moving up and down. We can feel worried, afraid, anxious one day, and isolated, sad, and exhausted the next. It’s totally normal for our system to fluctuate, but if we spend long periods in one state or another it can take a toll on our body, mind, and spirit.

I focus on those who feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, & life transitions that feel heavier than expected.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, the transition to parenthood, or the challenges of raising a child whose emotions or behaviors are difficult to understand. You love your child, but may feel unsure how to respond, worried you are getting it wrong, or exhausted by conflict. I work with postpartum parents and parents of children and teens who want practical support, greater confidence, and a clearer plan. I also help adults understand how their own experiences, patterns, and needs affect the way they parent and care for themselves.
