Balance is essential to a happy life, and therapy can help you achieve it. Young adults (age 18-45) have so much adjustment in their lives, but need help reaching their potential. These are the best times full of hope and freedom, but are often weighed down by anxiety and feelings of sadness. If you are experiencing difficulties in being a student, an early or transitioning career professional, a new spouse, or working through balancing health, now is the time to move forward. Learn how to develop emotional safety, create balance, recapture your purpose and focus, and improve your performance skills.

As a Black woman who is often seen as "having it all together," it may be challenging to admit that you are having a difficult time. You may automatically say that you are "good" or "well" when people ask how you are doing but know deep down that this is a mask of how you are really feeling. Recognizing and admitting to yourself about the mask is the first courageous step to getting support. Even though many of us have been told to not let our guard down by showing others that we do not have it all together or that only "crazy" people who do not look like us go for therapy (not true!), you know what you need for yourself.

Relationships are either the most fulfilling or the most challenging part of our lives (or both!) - whether with our partner, kids, friends, or family. I'm certain you value your relationships, but maybe you're struggling to feel connected, appreciated, or to stay calm when conflict arises. I promise there’s a reason you’re feeling the way you do, and the reason is more understandable than you think. When we’re at odds with a person we love, it's easy to get stuck in "me vs. them" thinking instead of tackling issues like a team. These last few years have been hard on everyone - if you're struggling right now, you're not alone.

I enjoy working with individuals and families, helping them to be the best version of themselves. I am dedicated to helping you achieve your personal and professional goals. If you desire to be in control of your mental, physical, emotional, and financial well-being... Let's work together to set and achieve goals, build healthy coping skills, and develop practical solutions that can empower you in your daily living. My Motto: Be the “BOSS” of your life, so you can be the best version of yourself.

You are here because you want to be better. You want your relationship(s) to be better. You want your lifestyle habits to be better. You want to be a better partner/parent/child/employee/human being. You know that this can't be "it" and that you are capable of more, of something better. I promise, you can be better. You can find a greater sense of peace. You can reduce or eliminate much of your anxiety or depression. You can have better relationships. You can move through the hurt, pain, and challenges and be a better version of yourself. I would like to be able to help you.

Life is complicated and presents so many daily challenges. Maybe you’re grappling with things that leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or stressed. Our emotions and experiences can be powerful and sometimes pull us in directions that seem to take us away from where we want to be. Perhaps it seems like you’re in a cycle of just trying to survive. Maybe you’re a teen battling insecurity while striving for independence and individuality. Or a parent who feels lost in how to help their child deal with strong emotions. Let’s shift the focus to help you do more of what nourishes you and your relationships and less of what drains them.

Through my practice as a certified sex therapist I've learned that every human has the right to achieve full sexual citizenship, incorporating sexual expression, sexual health and well being, no matter their age, gender, physical limitations or sexual preferences.

Are you a black woman who's checked many of the boxes of societal standards of success, but have found yourself in a less than ideal relationship? One day it’s all good, and for the next week it's all bad. You feel alone, isolated…like you can’t talk to anyone about what’s going on. You might feel embarrassed or what’s happening might just feel indescribable? You wish you could talk to your partner about it, but his mood is so unpredictable, you’re not sure if that’s even safe. Not to mention, sharing your experience with family or friends could mean having to face their judgment and receive unhelpful advice to "just leave."

Informed by lived experiences and diverse clinical work, I've come to specialize in sex therapy, relational issues, partners of sex addicts, and family therapy. For the past 7 years I have worked with a variety of populations throughout Los Angeles. I work from a systems theory model in which I conceptualize mental health and sexual issues in relation to larger societal systems and cultural "norms". Additionally, I utilize art to facilitate new ways of healing. When talking isn't enough, art can awaken the emotional parts of the brain and integrate deeper healing within the nervous system. ​

Having had a prolific 25-year career in the entertainment industry, I can personally understand what contributes to depression, anxiety, and a compromised self-esteem. Through talk therapy, a perception shift and changing the narrative we tell ourselves, I believe we are all capable of having the life we deserve. We don't have to be defined by our past, our fears or that negative self talk. My approach to therapy is one of complete honesty, directness and a little sarcasm/humor when appropriate. I believe we are all capable of having the life we want, getting out of our own way, and getting closer to our goals.

The desire for healing is a natural part of the human experience that is felt at all stages of life. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to share your story with your unique goals and needs in mind.

My therapeutic background consists of assisting children, adults, couples, and families both in person and virtually. I offer teletherapy services to adolescents, teens, adults, families, and couples while being located in a confidential and quiet environment.
