You are tired, stressed, and fighting with your partner . How did it get this bad? What is wrong with me? You just want feel calmer and like you and your partner on the same page again. You are tired of "pretending" to have it all together. They say "trauma" is the root of everything, humm. Chaotic childhood home, check. But you have told yourself "It wasn't THAT bad." But as the black sheep of your family, raised in chaos, you can't help but wonder if all this might be related. The constant loud self critic, people-pleasing, and feeling misunderstood. It is time to unpack the stuff that is holding you back.

I specialize in working with couples and individuals who want to sharpen their understanding of themselves, discover their patterns of dysfunction in relationships, and dive deeper than ever before into creating and sustaining true intimacy.
Navigating our own emotions, life experiences, responsibilities, and relationships with others, all at the same time, is an exhausting process! We live in a society where it's commonplace for us to prioritize our obligations over even our most basic needs, at times. So when it comes to fulfilling each other's needs for love, belonging, and connection- we may notice ourselves feeling out of sync and continually misunderstood instead. We are complex beings. Relationships are even more complex. Typically the best way to achieve clarity is by bringing in a new perspective.

My approach to therapy is informed by my belief that we discover who we are in relationship .
Considering therapy is difficult and reaching out to a therapist requires courage. Whether you are beginning to look for a therapist or if you are ready to initiate an initial conversation, I respect your willingness to consider something new, to ask for help, to prioritize your needs, and or to pursue growth. My practice is focused on assisting those feeling held back, burnt out, stuck, scared, frustrated, overwhelmed, and insufficient to move toward a life of vitality, connection, peace, health, and flexibility.

Once I feel that we have a collaborative relationship I like to discuss what and how their goals might be reached in a timely manner.
Hi there, I'm Nadine! The atmosphere I provide is warm and trusting without judgement. I allow the client to tell me their story without interruption. If I feel they need more help or direction it is provided. The helping professional has always allured. It felt like a natural and nice way to spend one's time in a career. There was also a desire to find out more about myself and what drives my own behavior. In addition, there was also a need to improve myself and be a compassionate and understanding human being.

I also offer individual relationship counseling, which can help you make changes in the relationship even if your partner won’t attend with you.
There are many different types of “sucker punches” that can cause people to seek counseling. It might be an accident, serious illness or a return from deployment that has set your world off-kilter. It might be a partner who told you he doesn’t love you any more, or it could even be you with that feeling. It may just be the accumulation of anxiety that has you thinking there has got to be a better way. There is hope!

When you look in the mirror, do you find yourself asking, “Am I enough?” Do you have this nagging suspicion that something is deeply wrong? Has it started to affect your relationships, your work, your overall sense of peace? It’s likely that you’ve had experiences that no matter what you do, you just can’t seem to forget. These experiences shape your reality, fuel your anxieties, leaving you on edge and burnt out. What would it feel to like to let go of the pain you’ve carried for so long? Imagine what life would be like if you had the emotional space and clarity to be the best you.

We created Therapy for Black Women to address the unique challenges experienced solely by Black women. For we are all too familiar with the "Angry Black Woman" and equally as toxic, "Strong Black Woman" tropes. These archetypes are incessantly perpetuated in the media and impact our relationship with vulnerability; thus, the capacity to be fully realized humans. Furthermore, Therapy for Black Women helps to mitigate the continued exploitation of Black women in search of licensed clinicians who have practical knowledge surrounding what it is to be a Black Women.
