Grief and loss can leave you feeling shattered, as though you will never experience joy again. Life losses take many forms (death, job loss, relationship loss, etc.) and it's difficult knowing where to turn for help during these times. Another difficult loss is familial estrangement. The latest YouGov poll states that 38% of adults are estranged from someone in their family. People become estranged for many reasons, the most common reasons are abuse, betrayal, and manipulation. I have worked with many parents and children on this issue and they have found it helpful, especially towards reconciliation if possible.

I view psychotherapy as a process of exploration and affirmation of one's life path, including the experiences and wisdom gained along this journey. This is just the beginning point for the psychotherapeutic process of healing and identifying one's pathway to continue the journey of personal growth, transformation and achieving balance (mind, body & Spirit).
I see my role as a therapist as that of a witness and source of support and knowledge, joining with you to help facilitate the individual process of developing a deeper sense of self-awareness, achieving personal growth and transformation: to create the life you want.

You've done the journaling, read the books, and tried to understand yourself. On the outside, you seem high-functioning and self-aware. Internally, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or relationship issues still leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck repeating the same patterns. I help teens and adults navigate anxiety, ADHD, trauma (PTSD & C-PTSD), relationship challenges, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and life transitions in Maryland and Colorado. Therapy with me is a warm and collaborative space for you to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and explore what comes next. You don't have to perform here or hold it alone.

I offer therapy for people who feel stuck in patterns they can’t quite explain. Overthinking, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, or stress that shows up in your body or relationships. If you’ve been trying to “figure it out” on your own but aren’t seeing lasting change, therapy can help you move forward in a more focused, supported way. My approach is active, collaborative, and practical. We won’t just talk about what’s going on, we’ll work with it. Together, we’ll identify patterns, process what’s underneath them, and build tools you can use in your daily life so progress doesn’t stay stuck in the therapy room.

FAQ - Black and African American Counselling
As an African American, why might I wish to see a therapist who is African American?
Working with an African American therapist can often mean that you start from a place of shared understanding with a therapist rather than having to explain your experience from scratch. A therapist who shares your racial identity is more likely to understand the specific pressures shaping your mental health, including navigating racism, cultural identity, and the overall experience of being Black in the United States. They are also more likely to understand the role that family, community, and cultural expectations play in your life without requiring a lengthy explanation. This shared foundation can create a greater sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship and make it easier to open up at the start of therapy.
Are there Black therapists who specialize in working with Black men or Black women?
Yes, many Black therapists have specific experience working with Black men or Black women. While therapists who work with Black clients broadly address concerns relevant to all genders, like anxiety or depression, those with a gender-specific focus are equipped to work with you on the particular ways that race and gender may intersect. For example, some therapists may specialize in working with Black women on topics like body image or maternal mental health, while other therapists may work with Black men on topics such as relationships or masculinity.
Do Black therapists offer marriage and couples counseling?
Yes, many Black therapists are trained in couples and marriage counseling and can work with partners navigating a wide range of relationship challenges. Therapists who identify as Black may have a better understanding of the cultural dynamics surrounding marriage, family roles, and conflict that are specific to African American communities and can work with you and your partner without making assumptions about your background.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with Black clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, is the right time to raise a therapist’s experience working with Black clients. You can ask specific questions, such as "Do you have experience working with Black clients?" or more broad questions, such as "How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?". During the initial consultation, you can also ask whether they have undertaken training in cultural competence and how they would handle a situation where a cultural misunderstanding arose in therapy. A therapist who responds to these questions thoughtfully and without defensiveness is a good sign they are equipped to work with you effectively.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Black therapists?
The directory of Black therapists includes therapists who have self-identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profile, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. In situations where the number of therapists who have identified as Black is limited, the directory will also show therapists who have undergone specific multicultural training or have extensive experience working with clients from relevant cultural backgrounds.
