Balance is essential to a happy life, and therapy can help you achieve it. Adults (age 18-55) 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, overwhelm, the past 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 improve your psychological flexibility.

Many of my clients are Black or from a diverse cultural background. They are usually high-functioning, neurodivergent, emotionally aware, and deeply tired. They often grew up in chaotic, emotionally neglectful, or high-pressure environments and learned to survive by being strong, responsible, or self-sufficient. Now they may struggle with anxiety, burnout, relationship patterns, people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected from themselves. They want to understand why they feel the way they do, feel more emotionally safe, and finally move out of survival mode into a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and sustainable.

My ideal client feels overwhelmed, burned out, or emotionally stuck. They may be managing anxiety, depression, grief, or the impact of past experiences while still trying to function at work and in relationships. Often, they’re tired of “pushing through” and want things to feel different, but aren’t sure how. They want clarity, relief, and a sense of control over their thoughts, emotions, and choices — not just short-term coping, but real change.

I started Align because I want therapy to feel different.
In many families, feelings were something you managed quietly, needing help felt like failure, boundaries were seen as passive aggression, and defying expectations felt like betrayal.
I don't see it that way. Whether we are talking family or a relationship, you can do all of those things without alienating anyone. I think most of us were simply never taught the skills, and then we spend years judging ourselves for not having them.
So my work starts from understanding, not fixing. We look at the patterns you inherited and decide together which ones still serve you.

FAQ - About Multiracial Counseling
Why might mixed race or multiracial identity be important to address in therapy?
Mixed race or multiracial identity can shape how you understand yourself and relate to others around you, so it is natural that this identity may be important to speak about in therapy. If you identify as mixed race, you may find it helpful to speak with a therapist about identity, belonging, racism, cultural disconnection, or feeling pressure to “choose” one part of your background over another. A therapist who understands or shares your mixed race identity may be better able to support conversations about your experiences. A shared background may also strengthen the therapeutic alliance, which refers to the working relationship between you and your therapist and is tied to positive therapy outcomes.
How can a mixed race therapist support couples counseling or family therapy?
Like other therapists, mixed race therapists can support couples and families with a broad range of concerns, including communication challenges, conflict, parenting, life transitions, and relationship stress. However, therapists who personally identify as mixed race may be especially helpful when race, culture, or ethnicity are part of the concerns being discussed, such as when partners come from different cultural backgrounds and are navigating differing personal or community expectations. A mixed race therapist may also help couples and families explore how identity shapes each person’s experience in the relationship. Family members, for instance, may not experience race or culture in the same way, even within the same household. Therapy can offer a space to talk through these differences.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience working with mixed race or multiracial clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, can be a good time to ask about a therapist’s experience working with multiracial clients. You can ask specific questions, such as “Do you have experience working with multiracial clients?” or broader questions, such as “How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?” As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A good therapist should respond with respect, curiosity, and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed or misunderstood, or if you find yourself having to explain your beliefs or cultural context constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of mixed race therapists?
The directory of mixed race therapists includes therapists who have shared their mixed race or multiracial identity in their profiles, as well as therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with mixed race clients, regardless of their own background. Not all therapists choose to disclose this information on their profile, and these individuals may not appear in search results for this reason.
