Do you struggle with negative thoughts affecting your identity, mood or behaviors? Have you been diagnosed with a chronic mental illness? Do you feel stuck in your life due to emotional or physical pain from relationships, traumatic events or marginalization? Do you long for a safe person to process these events or unspoken secrets too unbearable to speak out-loud? Maybe you are having problems in your relationships, communication, or too many non-negotiable areas. Well, you are not alone.
I am a Multicultural therapist who believes you are not simply Black, White or Other, but the product of DNA, nurture and environment. As such, you are unique. Your experiences, struggles, and stressors are uniquely yours? I offer a safe place to process emotional and/or physical pain and teach you the skills to accept and overcome them.
Although we share common space, we process differently. I want to attend to your unique needs, without judgment. I am a military veteran, mother of six children, a Christ-follower and an overcomer. Whether you hold to a faith or not, I can support you without judgment. My varied life experiences are what make me a great therapist to meet your needs!

Groups
Women’s Empowerment: Taking Back Your Life!
STARTS 10/9/24 every Wednesday evening for 7-weeks. Using primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), this group will help empower women to regain control of their lives. CBT is a therapy treatment that helps people see the relationship between their beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, and subsequent behavioral patterns and actions. Women will explore their negative perceptions about self-worth, value and identity and how it directly influences responses to situations. Negative perceptions allow women to surrender their control, power and voice to others, which allow their own maltreatment. By learning effective coping skills, women will encourage one another's empowerment.
