Everyone has a story that is meant to be heard and I am here to listen and help clients grow to become better versions of themselves. I work collaboratively with my clients on issues ranging from life transitions, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma, personality disorders, and psychosis. Many of my clients have experienced some sort of discrimination based on their demographic information (race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.) and struggle with low self-esteem and self-doubt. Helping clients find their voice and discover themselves is every therapists' reward.

Psychological Associate, PsyD

Much like the core of hip-hop music, therapy is rooted in self-discovery. Healing comes from looking inward and reflecting on how our past experiences, both hardships and victories, shaped who we are. Using hip hop as inspiration for my clinical work, my goal is to support you on your journey into a more integrated self. This collaborative approach can include an exploration of the self, the people in your lives, and the world around you. My hope is we can create a space where we keep it real so you can “bloom and glow.” I have an integrative approach with a range of modalities including psychodynamic,
CBT
and nature psychology.

flexibility, wholeness, and healing. Using empathy & unconditional positive regard as a foundation, I may occasionally challenge you to bring forward awareness with a more direct approach.

My approach is eclectic, but I often incorporate
cognitive
-behavioral interventions as well as internal family systems interventions.
By considering a therapist, you are taking a step towards improving your life, examining what needs to be changed and building upon what is already working. Life can get better and you have the power to change it. During difficult times, it is important to either develop healthy support systems or utilize the ones that we already have. Seeking therapy is one piece of a healthy support system. You are acknowledging that some aspects of your life may not be going well and need to be changed. Therapy can help you to put life in perspective.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
Cognitive-behavioral therapy stresses the role of thinking in how we feel and what we do. It is based on the belief that thoughts, rather than people or events, cause our negative feelings. The therapist assists the client in identifying, testing the reality of, and correcting dysfunctional beliefs underlying his or her thinking. The therapist then helps the client modify those thoughts and the behaviors that flow from them. CBT is a structured collaboration between therapist and client and often calls for homework assignments.
