At some point in our lives we will experience emotional and psychological distress. Most people will try to avoid, or go through their distress without seeking help. People choose to do this because they are not sure how therapy will help them. Therapy helps us understand why we act and respond in ways that cause us harm, get through ruff times, strengthen our family ties and bonds, build healthier relationships and fix the mess we have made in our lives. Therapy helps us to identify and process feelings and emotions, so that we can grow and move forward to lead more productive and quality lives.

I have experience working with Black women navigating the intersection of race and gender, anxiety, depression, and family issues, including parenting in divorced, blended, or separated families.
As a Black woman, you have gotten used to carrying the load intended for others, placing yourself last on your to-do list, and being strong for everyone else. You’re so afraid of disappointing others that you continue to suffer quietly despite the feelings of emptiness you experience. You keep your feelings to yourself and go about suppressing them, hoping the feelings will go away, but they won’t unless you decide to change.

Friends and family often do not understand their difficulties which causes painful isolation.
My Clinical Psychology private practice allows for maximum individual attention and confidentiality. Since 1988, I have specialized in treating trauma conditions resulting from war, auto, workplace, violence and residuals of childhood abuse. Related conditions include depression, anxiety, physical pain, relationship difficulties, addictions and cognitive disorders. As a result of auto and occupational injuries, many patients/clients suffer Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injuries; and they can greatly benefit from my individual and group psychotherapy. I am a Clinical and Forensic Psychologist so some of my work involves cases in litigation including evaluations, testimony and expert witness services.

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.
