I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and stress, as well as relationship and family conflicts.
The capacity to grow and change rests within us all-given the appropriate opportunity. Sometimes we "stay stuck" for reasons unknown or confusing to us. I am hoping to meet you where you are, assist in establishing where you would like to be, and work with you in obtaining your goals and aspirations. Developing skills for managing conflict or problems, handling change, and dealing with loss will increase one's emotional health and well-being, improve relationships, and help create overall life balance.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed by life's relentless demands? You're not alone. We, as women of color, face the journey of balancing personal aspirations with family obligations, which can leave us feeling isolated, weary, and at odds with our self-worth. But this isn't only a challenge; it's an opportunity for transformation. It's not just about 'getting by'—it’s about thriving. You deserve to prioritize your mental health not as a luxury but as a fundamental right.

Just like going to the doctor, sometimes we need an emotional checkup. Counseling is an opportunity for you to work on yourself, relationships, goals, depression/anxiety, ADHD and other issues or diagnoses preventing you from living life as you wish to. Each session belongs to the client--it is your place to focus solely on you. My experience includes eight years of individual and family therapy. Additionally, I have 10 years of experience working with family dynamics in academic, learning disorders and life skills coaching as well as academic counseling.

As a marriage and family therapist, I specialize in relational issues.
Maybe you feel like the black sheep of the family, or maybe you're overwhelmed by parental pressure as an adult. Perhaps you’re feeling drained and exhausted by your current friendships. Maybe you're engaged, excited about the wedding and, of course, the honeymoon…but you also may realize there are so many things your parents didn't tell you about marriage. You want a place to talk about budgeting, future children, intimacy, and more. Maybe you are years into your marriage and struggling to keep the fire lit or feel trapped by all the long-term relational wounds and feel like you have reached the point of no return.

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
