I approach the work of healing with understanding that health is not only the absence of illness, but the presence of balance, dignity, and connection.My identity as a LCSW is deeply rooted in an African-Centered worldview, where the well-being of the individual is inseparable from the well-being of the community . Guided by the principals of Ubuntu-" I am because we are"- I see each client as a part of the larger story ,carrying history, culture, and resilience within them. My journey into clinical practice has been shaped by both personal experience and ancestral legacy. My commitment is to create space where clients feel heard.

Have you tried everything but are still struggling? Experiential approaches can be more effective than talk alone. Mindfulness-based therapy offers solutions while navigating depression, anxiety, stress, transitions, and challenges with authentic self-expression. I offer a grounded, compassionate and directive presence in a trusted therapeutic relationship where clients can effectively explore their inner wisdom. Drawing on 10 years of post graduate training in Hakomi somatic therapy and Family Constellations, I help clients uncover the roots causes while staying attuned to present-moment experience where change can occur.

Psychotherapy is a uniquely effective way to address and process deeply rooted issues that manifest in ways that are painful, confusing, and make people feel out of control. I work with children, adolescents, and adults in individual therapy, using a collaborative approach that centers on empathy, understanding, and exploration. My orientation is predominantly psychodynamic, and I tailor my approach to each individual to address unique circumstances and complexities. I strive to create a safe, warm, and validating environment that enables people to share and be vulnerable without fear of judgment.

I’m a relational therapist who believes that healing happens in the context of connection. I bring an embodied understanding of the ways identity, belonging, and safety intersect—especially for those navigating systems that have historically left them unseen. My approach is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and grounded in deep respect for the unique story each person brings into the room.

Being felt, heard and seen is the most important part of healing. I believe in giving an attuned presence to help you be the most embodied you can be. This process happens through emotional attunement and somatic mirroring. My training with Thomas Hubl has been instrumental in my own psycho-spiritual transformation. I have experienced my own wounds and view myself as a wounded healer. My own self growth journey and spiritual engagement has made my presence as a therapist one that is likely unique for you. I see wounded humans in a different light. My style of therapy integrates many modalities that help you reach your potential.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in patterns that haven’t shifted through traditional approaches. Many of the people I work with are neurodivergent adults, caregivers, or sensitive individuals seeking relief, clarity, and a greater sense of safety in their bodies and daily lives.
My work focuses on nervous system regulation rather than symptom management alone, using brain- and body-based, trauma-responsive approaches that honor autonomy and lived experience. Together, we work toward improved regulation, reduced overwhelm, and a stronger sense of connection and stability.

I’m a licensed therapist trained in somatic psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. I work with individuals, couples, and men, supporting clients with anxiety (including social anxiety), depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. I also help people navigating loneliness, work-related stress, and cultural or identity-related experiences, including multiracial relationships. My goal is to help people better understand themselves, their patterns, and how they relate to others. I tend to be warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, while also being direct when it’s helpful.

As a life coach with a doctorate in depth psychology, I work in a psychologically savvy way, without losing the dynamism of coaching. I facilitate ‘lucid living’ in my clients – an ability to act, think, and feel in agreement with one’s truest self. Whatever issue you are addressing, I assume that something in you knows the right approach to it, although discovering this may require the help of others. I also assume that no-one wants to merely make the dysfunctional functional: We all desire exceptional levels of vitality, creativity, and resilience.

I am offering In-Person, Telehealth, and Outdoor Therapy Sessions M-F from 9am-5pm.
I specialize in trauma-informed therapy for anxiety, depression, relational issues, childhood and lifespan trauma, and more. I understand that sometimes psychotherapy is sought out in a very challenging time of life, and I am here to offer support through that. I have specialized experience working with creatives of all kinds, in being a singer myself. With experience focusing on young adults as well, I offer guidance for the process of individuation that occurs during these formative years. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, ethnicities, abilities, gender identities, sexualities, and other intersectional identities.

You may be here because something has fractured — a belief system, a relationship, a sense of your own goodness. Or because you've given so much to a cause or community that you've lost touch with your identity, purpose, or pleasures. Or because a profound experience has left you changed in ways ordinary language can't quite hold.
I work with adults navigating grief, identity shifts, relationship complexity, complex trauma, and the long echoes of experiences that shaped them earlier in life.
I do not offer couples therapy at this time, but love working with teens and families in all stages of recovery with substances or trauma.

Sessions are available in person and virtually via Zoom.
As my client you can expect me to be smart, sensitive, interactive, and direct while keeping and eliciting a sense of humor. Together, we will discuss those behaviors, interactions, and experiences that increase your stress. We’ll work on coping strategies to ease your pain and anxiety and increase your sense of satisfaction. My experience has led me to value self-direction and respect people of all ages. I know about the effects of violence, loss, chemical dependency and powerlessness, acute and generational trauma.
