As a first generation African-American/East African LGBTQIA+ identified
woman
, i understand some of the stress and trauma different minority groups experience from their environment.
Life stressors may be in abundance for some. These stressors may come from a person's career, interpersonal relationships, cultural influences, medical history, and other environmental factors. Stressful life events may occur during critical life transitions or unexpectedly. When stress becomes unmanageable you may experience anxiety, depressed mood, hopelessness, fatigue, low self-esteem, and irritability. Self-awareness and healthy coping strategies are not skills everyone had the opportunity to cultivate in order to successfully navigate life's most difficult challenges.

I specialize in helping
women
find their inner beauty, so that they can be and give the best version of themselves. I accomplish this by helping unpack behavioral, relational patterns and/or distorted perceptions that hinder from being who you are designed/created to be. While you can't change your past, you can, however, do the work to better understand how you function in your relationships. So that you can begin to make better choices in your present and future. I truly believe that if you can change your mindset, you can change your life. Lastly, I love to talk about relationships, singleness and pre-marriage preparation!

I have helped
women
and men find a way to deal with their feelings that are making their life so difficult.
When is sadness not just sadness? When is worry more than just your average worry? It starts small and we tell ourselves we will put things away later. That later turns to be a week, then two and then a month. You find yourself not wanting to get out of bed or not wanting to leave the house. You don't have to do this alone. Let me help you understand your feelings and find your motivation. Or have you experienced the stress of fitting in after immigrating to the United States? Or have felt panic attacks after having to translate documents from English to Spanish?

You never thought it would be this hard. Trying to conceive. Being pregnant. Being a new mother. Your thoughts are racing and your inner voice is constantly criticizing yourself. You just can’t seem to quiet your mind down. You worry. All. The. Time. You spend all your time nurturing others but can’t really remember the last time you had time just to nurture yourself. You may be feeling lost, even afraid, that this is your new reality and you’ve lost the “old you”. You are worthy of support and starting a journey where you can heal, thrive, and be authentically you.

I believe that each person has a specific path to travel and that, at the end of the day, what we most desire is to leave a meaningful legacy, sweetly remembered by those we love. My heartfelt goal in counseling is to help you find your purpose and significance in life and essentially discover how your path is influenced by your history, family, and community. I realize that these relationships can be difficult and my personal goal for therapy is to walk beside you in an attempt to maintain a healthy balance of all that life brings.

Overly formal is just not my style. I am not a "lay on the couch, and tell me about your Mom", kind of therapist. My goal is to create a relatable, open, and comfortable atmosphere each session so that you feel like you can let go of the discomfort you walk through life feeling. Genuine interaction is the basis and foundation for any therapeutic alliance and all I know how to be is genuine!

To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
