Therapists in University Of Richmond, VA

Have you ever thought – what distinguishes healthy relationships that are able to thrive from unhealthy ones that tend to be full of stress? Is it self-will? Determination? As a couples and family therapist, I believe the one distinguishing factor is "attachment". Attachment is the ability to connect with others. Depending on our ability (or inability) to attach interpersonally, determines the overall satisfaction we experience within our intimate relationships. Also, having been a victim of racism, I opened this practice as a place that people of color can heal from the impact of both blatant and systemic oppression.

Life can be hard.

Building a strong therapeutic alliance and creating a safe, supportive space for clients of all backgrounds, age groups, and presenting concerns to share is the primary aim of my practice.
