I specialize in helping couples, families, and children. As human beings, we have a need to feel connected to a significant other who becomes like a safe haven and a source of security and comfort. This person helps us to face the world with confidence because we know there is someone who cares about us. When we feel disconnected from our attachment figure, we feel unprotected and life's challenges seem to be bigger and scarier. I help people to feel secure in their relationship by strengthening their bond so that they become responsive, accessible and emotionally engaged to their partners.

Therapy does not have to be painful. I will help you find out what is stopping you from living up to your full potential and preventing you from living a more productive and fulfilling life. I have energy, a down to earth style, and a good sense of humor. My clients have said that they feel safe and comfortable talking to me because I am real and non-judgmental. "Feelings are like waves. You cannot stop them from coming, but you can decide which ones to surf."

I work with clients who exhibit a compulsive, chronic, physiological or psychological need for a habit-forming substance, behavior, or activity. Needs may vary. The most common is to change or discontinue the addictive behaviour or substance use. Goals may range from harm reduction to complete abstinence. Most of my clients want to regain control over their lives through changing their behaviours, substance usage, perceptions about who they are and what they need to live a healthy fruitful life. Some clients have had trauma in their lives and need open discussion, compassion, non-judgmental treatment and trauma informed care.

Most mental health providers assist the patient(s) with the process of gaining interpersonal awareness, but do not specialize in both the emotional and physical aspects of intimacy. Alternatively, most intimacy coaches do not specialize in the psychodynamic underpinnings of human attachment and resulting relational dynamics. I offer a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential environment that allows couples or individuals to address issues, questions, and concerns pertaining to sexuality, intimacy, and relationships.

All people deserve to be heard, especially the Black voice. So many times our voices have been silenced. Some of us come from backgrounds of poverty, racial discrimination, abuse and/or neglect. These traumas have negatively impacted our lives and how we see ourselves. We are all constantly in a never-ending journey of self-discovery. Our life experiences leave us with several unanswered questions. When will things get better? What does true healing look like? What does success really mean?
