Are you overwhelmed, anxious or depressed and turning to substances and other unhealthy behaviors to cope? Do you struggle with feeling uncomfortable in your own skin? Are you looking to make real changes in your life but don't know where to start? Or, maybe you've started your journey and you recognize the need for support as you continue to move forward. Change can be difficult and sometimes scary. It's important to have the right person "in your corner" to help you tap in to your inner wisdom and navigate the challenges that you're facing. I have experience working with a wide variety of presenting struggles including substance abuse, eating disorders, body image concerns,

I am an interactive therapist, specializing in
women's issues

Our 21st century lives can be overwhelming. Being human and keeping up with all that entails is not easy, and we shouldn’t have to navigate the hard times alone. Overwhelm, exhaustion, + the pressure of life’s demands create stress and anxiety that takes its toll on our body. Or maybe you just feel unfulfilled, anxious or stuck. It's all real. And I can help.

I am a highly skilled Licensed Clinical Psychologist with specialized training in multicultural psychology, trauma, and
women's issues
.
I am a relational psychotherapist, which means that I believe relationships (with family, friends, coworkers, higher powers, our relationship with our self, etc.) often play a role in our suffering and, yet, also play a crucial role in our healing. Relatedly, the relationship between the therapist and client is of utmost importance and requires trust and authenticity for both parties involved. In my work with clients, I use a variety of individualized, eclectic approaches to help each person meet their goals and needs. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, empowering, and collaborative.

I'm deemed as relatable, compassionate and direct by clients and my treatment areas include grief and loss, caregiver support,
women's issues
, trauma and managing & coping with a chronic illness.
Feeling overwhelmed? Tired of situations/outcomes not meeting your expectations? Burdened by the stress of a life that you thought you wanted while also questioning decisions about work, family & love? In order to bring positive change into ones life, you must first provide a safe and secure environment for one to reflect on their life. I take great pride in providing that environment. Someone did that for me and it transformed my life. It would be privilege to do the same for you.

I specialize in anxiety, trauma, grief,

I believe that you are the expert of your life! My job is to be curious and to help you gain more understanding of yourself. A good therapist doesn't claim to have all the answers for why you are the way you are although I may have some ideas that I will share. When it comes to getting answers & more understanding, we will form hypotheses together and you will come to your own conclusions. I facilitate and guide that process! I'm here to share my knowledge to help you make decisions that are authentic, rational, and well-explored.

I work especially well with
women's issues
, boundaries, assertiveness, anxiety, depression, stress management, chronic pain and religious trauma.
Counseling is something everyone can benefit from; the key is finding the counselor that is the right fit for your needs. It might be in a life transition—from college student to adulting, from single to married, or from married to divorced. Maybe you’re having your first child or finding yourself with an empty nest. Maybe you feel disconnected relationally or disillusioned in your spiritual life. At those times, it can be comforting to have someone to help us manage the anxiety, make sense of the challenges, or find a renewed sense of purpose and hope.

It is our belief that the decisions we make and the behaviors we exhibit are directly related to what we know as our reality. Knowing and understanding that fact leads us to approach every situation with the mindset that you, as the client, have the ability and power to make positive changes in your life. We know that placing blame, not taking responsibility, and not living up to your potential, only allows others to be in control of your life, leaving you without a voice. It is our philosophy that NOT BEING PRESENT FOR YOU can lead to BOWING DOWN TO OTHERS.

I also enjoy working with clients struggling with
women's issues
, specifically with relationship issues and those in need of postpartum support.
Working from a person-centered perspective, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important components for change. I offer an empathic space to explore your goals toward recovery. I use a variety of theoretical approaches, including CBT, existential, and interpersonal therapies. Specializing in eating disorders, I begin the therapeutic relationship by meeting clients where they are in the recovery process. I understand that the development of an eating disorder is complex, and that there is no "one size fits all" approach to treatment. I can help you learn positive coping skills and address body image, identity, and self-esteem issues.

As an experienced racial trauma and
women's issues
therapist, I believe every woman deserves peace of mind.
As a Black woman, you are a go-getter, risk-taker, and one of your family's few business owners and entrepreneurs. People don't understand your sacrifices to get where you are today. Although business is booming, you are starting to feel the weight that comes with it. Working for yourself is stirring up unresolved issues from your past. You often feel stressed and overwhelmed as you navigate the world of entrepreneurship. You constantly think about the "what ifs." You worry about your business failing or if you will have anyone to celebrate with you at the top. You feel down sometimes because nobody "gets" it.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
