I specialize in working with individuals and couples working through life transitions such as marriage, fertility, grief and loss, job transitions, end of life, and trauma.
Hi, I am a Narrative Therapy and AEDP trained psychotherapist. What that means is that I believe that each of us wants to find fulfillment, internal peace, and connection, but sometimes problems get in the way. In the face of life's challenges, it can be all too easy to define ourselves by what pains us and to gauge our self-worth by our problems. However, I work from the premise that you are not the problem, the problem is the problem. By changing our relationship to our problems we can gain control of and achieve peace with our emotional selves.

I am trained and certified in several modalities, including EMDR, and specialize in trauma and anxiety, though I also work with mood and personality disorders.
My clients report feeling empowered, actualized, and equipped to better manage life and stress by the time they finish therapy with me. I emphasize the development of coping skills, mindfulness, and self-exploration to help uncover the parts of the self that may be keeping you stuck, trapped in circular patterns of behavior that provide minimal change.

I work through the lens of trauma and early childhood attachments and use EMDR, as well as traditional talk therapy, to heal inner child wounds.
You feel disconnected and unsure of who you really are. Maybe you’re a college student trying to find your path, a professional woman balancing career pressures, or someone navigating a major life transition like starting over or becoming an empty nester. The past lingers, bringing pain or shame, and despite trying to bury it, it’s affecting your present. You’re tired of feeling stuck and pretending you’re fine. Let’s work together to process your story, heal the hurt, and rediscover your identity so you can move forward with clarity and confidence. I can't wait to meet you.

Are your feeling stuck or overwhelmed with panic attacks, anxiety, or PTSD symptoms?
I treat trauma/ PTSD and panic attacks with EMDR therapy. EMDR reduces trauma and anxiety symptoms more quickly than other forms of talk therapy. With neurodivergent individuals, we focus on self-acceptance, less masking and more authenticity, and how to advocate for your needs with family, friends, or at work.

Meet Our Trauma and PTSD Therapists
I have a number of specializations, including expertise treating trauma, depression, anxiety disorders (OCD, social anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder) and relational issues.
Each of us has had periods of struggle or times of dissatisfaction in our lives; or perhaps a desire for greater personal well-being. The decision to seek therapy may be the result of experiencing depression, anxiety, facing challenging life transitions, relationship difficulties, or having experienced traumatic events. Sometimes we do not know precisely what changes we are seeking. Whatever the motivation, I believe therapy can be helpful in symptom reduction, and more profoundly, can initiate deeper changes and growth. I believe in figuring out what is right with you, enabling you to call upon your innate strength and wisdom.

I am passionate about using innovative techniques to treat anxiety and trauma including EMDR.
I have found now more than ever that people are coming to therapy with a lot of fear and uncertainty. Fear and uncertainty can block people from making changes in their lives. It's hard to make decisions when you're afraid. Fear can also happen when you're getting closer to what you want. My work is to help you discern between the two.

In my private practice, I focus on black women and women of color who suffer from depression, anxiety, generational trauma, or legacy burdens.
I believe that change happens when we examine what we believe. In other words, what you believe and what you value shows up in your behaviors. So, if one wants to change their behaviors, one must first examine their belief and value systems.
