Welcome, This probably isn’t the first step you’ve taken on the path towards your own self-actualization. Often, we get really good at getting by and solving the problem on our own. Sometimes we figure it out, and other times we don’t. Or it works for a while, until we hit a new phase. Or maybe, it’s just too difficult to do the dishes when the world is on fire. I see that you’ve been trying, and I see that life is fucking hard. You may not have reached out to someone before now because a safe space wasn't available.

Finding the right therapist can feel daunting. Welcome to taking the first step toward bettering your mental health. Whether you're struggling with feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, depression, or something in between, acknowledging these feelings and asking for help is courageous. Navigating life transitions, relationships, grief, and everything else life throws at us is not easy. However, the therapeutic process can serve as the anchor you need to better understand the narrative you've created about yourself based on past experiences and trauma.

My clients gain freedom from negative thoughts, beliefs, symptoms, and behaviors through the process of hypnosis. It is a safe, evidence-based practice that utilizes natural states of mind to powerfully address issues. Hypnosis is not a cure for mental health or medical conditions. Rather, it can help with fears, phobias, and anxiety as much as it can help with confidence and self-esteem so you can get on with being even more magnificent than you already are. Sessions are typically 2 hours and are available at 2 convenient locations or virtually. Please consult your insurance provider for coverage or reimbursement.

Hi! In a world where so many of us regularly get the message that we are flawed, I think it is important to start by saying something that we might not hear so regularly, which is, that it is okay to be you. But if I’m being honest, being yourself is not always an easy thing to do. As a therapist, I place priority in creating a therapy environment where clients feel safe to share the most authentic versions of themselves without fear of judgement. In addition to a safe therapeutic space, my goal is to assist clients on their paths towards self-expression and self-acceptance no matter where they are in their journey.

As a Black woman, you face unique challenges that often feel overwhelming. Balancing cultural expectations, societal pressures, and personal responsibilities leaves you feeling drained and disconnected. Anxiety and depression weigh heavily, affecting your mental and emotional well-being. Navigating microaggressions and systemic inequities adds another layer of stress that’s hard to explain to those who don’t experience it firsthand. You find yourself juggling the roles of caregiver, professional, and advocate, often at the expense of your own self-care, leaving little room to just be yourself.

You might be rushing from one thing to another, trying to be everything for everyone. At work, you find yourself stuck in the never-ending quest for perfection. In relationships, you try so hard only to uncover that familiar, nagging, and sad thought: 'Am I doing enough? Am I enough?'

Survivor of trauma. Struggling with addiction. Creative. Do at least two of these three describe you? If you're struggling to get sober, you're fearful about the impact sobriety might have on your creativity (and life in general). If you're in early sobriety, you're trying to gain your footing in a new landscape. If you're a trauma survivor, you're confused as to why your insight & sensitivity aren't helping you get to that light at the end of the tunnel. What do you do if your pain is too great to manage on your own?
