You have to be strong. All. The. Damn. Time. And that’s just become too much. Even for you. You have BIG feelings and may even cry when you’re alone, but hide them so the world can’t use them against you. You’re exhausted. But you can’t slow down for fear of what may happen if painful memories overwhelm you. Your internal voice is relentlessly mean and you want to shut it up, but you don’t even know if it’s possible to truly accept yourself. You know far too many people have too much access to your physical space or emotional energy, but you learned this is how to keep people around and saying “no” leaves you alone or rejected.

In addition to regular services, I am now accepting short-term therapy clients for issues related to anxiety, stress, or life transitions. We all have the ability to grow and to reach our fullest potential in life. However, sometimes support is needed as we navigate life’s challenges and changes. As a Counseling Psychologist operating within a multiculturally focused liberation framework, I am committed to helping my clients realize the best version of themselves while honoring their identities, culture, life experiences, and values. You matter, you are worthy of wellness, and your authentic self is enough.

You've always been the strong and supportive friend. You always show up when others are in need, and you always offer your support. But after years of giving and giving, you're feeling overwhelmed, resentful, and disconnected. Now, you are certain that you cannot keep this up forever. You’ve thought about starting therapy, but it is so hard to find a therapist who understands the things that you have been through. Trauma's impact can be deep, especially when compounded by racial and cultural experiences. You need a therapist who understands you as a trauma survivor, can help you heal, and live the life you deserve.

I've been fortune to work with motivated, aware, brave, and honest clients that have inspired me to grow in my therapeutic approach. These attributes don't hide their depression, anxiety or even post traumatic experiences (ie childhood neglect and abuse; sexual abuse, racial or religious abuse, or domestic violence) instead, they use the pain to transverse fear.

Life is a GIFT. I believe in this life, we all have special assignments. It is with honor, gratitude, and appreciation that I have accepted my assignment of helping others via Nursing and Counseling. With the world in such chaos, it is a challenge to navigate our spiritual, physical, and emotional health and wholeness. It is my aim to connect with my clients at the point of their hurt. Clients are usually hurting or struggling with childhood emotional trauma, grief (loss of a loved one, a relationship, or loss of themselves), depression, overwhelming life events, anxiety, or self-esteem issues.

On the outside, you appear to have it all—highly accomplished, driven, reliable. Others see your success, but inside, the weight is heavy. Worry and relentless thoughts drain your joy, leaving you exhausted and unable to focus. Despite your best efforts, you feel the pressure, snapping at the ones you love, as your needs continue to come last. But now, you stand at a turning point. This is not the life your heart longs for. You’re ready to reclaim your energy, your joy, your self, and move from merely existing to a life where you can truly flourish.
