Through 11 years of practice in NY and LA, I have worked in various clinical settings and have helped people struggling with depression, anxiety,
relationship
issues, new medical diagnoses, creative blockages, grief, and transitions.
Finding a therapist can be a daunting process and I believe it is important to feel at ease in order to do the work that therapy entails. I provide a comfortable, down to earth environment and demeanor that will allow you to develop insight, find more choices in your life, and build your self confidence. It is very important to me that you get the results you are looking for in therapy and that your experience is a positive one. I am sensitive, caring and dedicated to our work together.

I’m a Black, millennial therapist who’s passionate about helping clients develop a deeper connection to self while developing self-love and compassion despite the life challenges that they’ve faced. I know how difficult it may be to just be yourself. I create a safe, non-judgmental space that allows clients to heal, increase their self-awareness as well as their understanding of the influence that their past may have had on their present. I see my clients as an equal
partner
; you’re in the driver seat while I'm riding "shotgun (passenger)."

It is an opportunity for the client to create a different way of being in the world and discover new narratives of their personal story. Whether depression, addiction, relational or crisis There is a solution that is waiting to be found.

Sometimes we need help managing anxiety, depression, life stressors,
relationship
struggles, self-esteem, trauma, loss, or alcohol and substance use. It's more than ok to ask for help. Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Is it difficult to manage life's demands that keep piling up? Do you need help communicating with others or want to work on your relationships? Are you hard on yourself and want to grow in self-love? Do you struggle with past hurts and wonder how it is affecting your current life? Do you need a safe, non-judgmental space, to discuss your life apart from friends and family?

I work with people on a wide array of issues, including depression, anxiety, life transitions,
relationship
difficulties, parenting, family building, identify formation, grief, and loss.
The decision to seek therapy can sometimes be a difficult one. However, the challenges that motivate us towards change can often become opportunities to create a deeper awareness of who we are, and who we are striving to become. I truly believe we grow in connection to others, it’s in these relationships we often learn the most about ourselves. It is hard to look at ourselves from another person’s perspective and to see ourselves in ways that we haven’t before. It can be messy work, but it can also be truly liberating and rewarding. .

My empathetic nature plays a role in my therapeutic style. I collaboratively work with those who experience emotional difficulties related to anxiety, depression, heartbreak, relational trauma, CPTSD, ADHD, and grief- in order to reach relief and feel happier within and in relationships.

My goal is to co-create a collaborative, trusting
relationship
so that together, we can identify what is most important and necessary for you.
Therapy can be a dynamic, interactive process of deepening your connection with yourself and others, exploring your identity, and redefining your life’s purpose. I am committed to supporting people who have decided to look inward, which can be a fascinating, challenging, and rewarding ongoing experience. I work with individuals and
couples
as they navigate transitions, consider life choices, search for meaning, process relational trauma, and learn to communicate more deeply. Many of my clients are writers and other creatives who identify as highly sensitive and/or neurodiverse (individuals, ND/NT
couples
, and parents).

I specialize in working with young adults who deal with self esteem, mood, and
relationship
issues.
In working with adolescents and young adults, I often see them struggle with unconscious pattern behaviors that relate to early experience. The unspoken or unprocessed trauma or negative experience can affect people for years. My role in therapy is to support clients in raising awareness of their feelings, thoughts, and needs, which can help them make healthier decisions and achieve self-actualization.

Though I work with a diverse population, at present I'm interested in: - POC individuals and
couples
- Immigrant stories (children of immigrants, adults that were immigrant children, etc) - Step parenting- 30s/40s age range - Comedians/Writers.
I work with a variety of individuals in a collaborative and creative manner to find new language and meaning in clients' lives. In a respectful, compassionate and often times lighthearted manner, I aim to find strengths and supports to weave new narratives. I find that individuals and
couples
that are truly willing to do the work in our sessions, and most importantly, in their daily lives get the most out of therapy. I work best with folks who can clearly articulate and work towards their therapeutic hopes/goals.

I work with adults, adolescents & children,
couples
, and groups.
There are countless stories and ideas we're told about who we can and should be! More successful, more actualized, richer, taller, thinner- with all that noise around us, it is often hard to hear our own voice telling us what we value, what makes us feel alive, what is worth our energy and attention. When we feel stuck or weighed down by trauma, depression, anxiety, or systemic injustice, it’s especially hard to access our preferences, inner resources, and community. Our voice gets lost or neglected. This is my commitment to you in our work – to make space for your voice.

I am a
relationship
therapist with a passion for working with issues of communication, codependency, infidelity, divorce, and consensual non-monogamy.
Relationships require care. Perhaps you are here looking for help on deepening connection and intimacy? Maybe you need to make a hard decision (e.g., readiness for children or separating)? Perhaps you are struggling to resolve resentment, move past infidelity, or dissolve a marriage? My therapeutic approach is rooted in your personal growth which allows the authentic self to safely emerge in connection with others. You can develop into to a less reactive, defensive or avoidant person.
Relationship
therapy can help you feel seen, let go of harmful expectations, repair past hurt, enjoy more satisfying sex, and find real partnership.

I welcome the opportunity to connect with you to share a bit more about me and my practice, as I understand the therapeutic
relationship
is an essential part of the healing process.
In my work with children and teenagers, I see behavior as having meaning. Difficult behaviors such as defiance, tantrums, aggression, and isolation are often the youth’s maladaptive attempts at communicating emotions. I see my role as a facilitator of effective communication, collaborating with youth to understand their experiences and identify/verbalize their thoughts and feelings. With a decade of working with kids in a variety of settings, I work primarily from a relational and attachment-based foundation, which utilizes compassion, attunement, and co-regulation to promote wellbeing through enhanced relationships and self-worth.

, we will create a safe space where you can feel empowered to discover that there is more in you than you know, and maybe even have fun doing it!.
It is not easy to ask for help. I believe that in order to heal and move forward in our lives, we need to be able to dig deep and figure out what is holding us back. While this can be challenging and at times uncomfortable, it is not something you need to do alone.

I offer therapy grounded in psychoanalysis and attachment theory. In practice, I encourage clients to explore their
relationship
dilemmas, personal struggles, dreams, and fantasies, all the while holding in the present the possibility of an entirely new and transformative experience. Somatic expressions and symptoms in the body hold a wealth of therapeutic potential. In following the body, we work to uncover and address the legacy of trauma and find unrecognized sources of vitality.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
