Before I went to therapy, I did the same thing again and again while hoping for different results. I would get excited about a person, a project, or an idea, and then lose interest. I had friends, some money, and an impressive resume, but I couldn’t figure out why I was stuck in a cycle. In therapy, I began to realize that I would often get trapped in a difficult feeling and then move away from it. With the right support, I realized that the artfulness of life isn't in avoiding hard feelings. It's about being gently present with them, listening to them, and learning from them, difficult as that can sometimes be.

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.

My clinical practice is devoted to helping teens, women, and parents who are struggling with a range of issues including stress, life transitions, anxiety, depression, past trauma experience, ADHD, self-harming behaviors, women’s issues, and parenting and relationship challenges.

My therapy style is warm, intuitive, and direct. I am known for a more holistic, integrative approach that considers mind, body, heart, and spirit. Western research-based interventions often create a foundation for treatment, which is then blended with Eastern traditions such as yoga, mindfulness, and philosophy. My experiences as a yogi, dancer, world traveler, artist, and poet lend creativity and range to my extensive clinical expertise. I emphasize authenticity, vulnerability, responsibility, and self-compassion.

I'm a therapist because therapy saved my life. Through that lived experience, and with education and training, I help clients improve their relationship with themselves and others, and navigate issues related to trauma, gender, sexuality, ENM, dating, boundaries, and self-worth. My clients are thoughtful people who have done the best they can on their own and are looking for additional support. They seek to expand their perspective, to feel differently in the world, and want lasting change. Together we'll create that change and I firmly believe in your inherent worth, power, and self-determination to facilitate the shift you seek.

As a black therapist in Los Angeles, I can relate to my clients who experience the beauty and challenges that come along with being a POC.

I want to help you learn how to celebrate the beautiful cornerstones of your culture and rewrite the script of the traumas that have been passed down to your generation.

I practice a unique combination of counseling and hypnotherapy. My therapy is based on the notion that every person has a potential to live a fulfilling life. I practice an integrated way of resolving problems by addressing them on 3 levels: emotional (resolving old fears, traumas; breaking old patterns); logical (learning new behaviors, emotional skills); and personal (defining the goals, building confidence). My therapy is very practical. The clients have an active role in their healing process. During the sessions I introduce new tools and strategies. In between the sessions clients apply and practice them.
