Is your family having significant parent-child conflict?
Overall, I approach therapy from a culturally/racially sensitive perspective. I believe that one’s cultural experiences can significantly impact mental health and the ways that one chooses to cope. Therefore, I utilize an African-centered approach when working with clients. Additionally, I believe in empowering and teaching my clients skills and strategies

I work with people on a wide array of issues, including depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship difficulties, parenting, family building, identify formation, grief, and loss.
All of us create patterns of behavior in our formative years to help us survive real and perceived dangers. What are those patterns? How have those patterns restricted our lives today? My approach to therapy is interpersonal. I integrate elements of family systems theory, attachment theory, existential theory, and psychodynamic theory, among others in my work. I believe real change occurs through the collaborative, moment-to-moment interactions between therapist and client in a safe and compassionate space.

I also draw from lived experiences with marriage, divorce, solo parenting, and alternative romantic relationships.
I love working with couples and individuals with difficulty in romantic relationships (i.e. sexual issues, communication, infidelity, divorce - especially recent ones), adults who come from dysfunctional childhoods, as well as those with anxiety, impulsivity, and addiction. I also enjoy working with those in non-traditional romantic relationships (i.e. ethically non-monogamous, polyamorous). I am sex positive therapist. I work best with clients who are engaged, thoughtful, and motivated for change. My style is empathic and direct, with a sense of humor. I believe strongly in the therapeutic alliance and the client/therapist fit.
