Life can feel unbearably heavy, and if you’re here, you’re probably carrying more than your share of that weight, so I want you to know that you don’t have to carry it alone anymore. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, self-harm, grief, addiction, or just feeling plain lost, I personally understand how overwhelming and painful it can feel. As someone who has sat on both sides of the chair, I combine my experience as a counselor and spiritual seeker to help people find the skills they need to not only manage their lives, but also to find meaning in our suffering and create a life that ignites and nourishes your soul.

I work with adults in the areas of addictions (alcohol, drugs, love/relationships), boundaries, Christian counseling, codependence, family of origin wounds from childhood, forgiveness, grief, perfectionism, pre-marital/marital, relationships, singlehood, and spiritual growth.
I believe that each person seeking counseling has come to a point in life where the desire to change, heal, and grow outweighs the comfort & familiarity of staying the same. Each day, truth or lies are ruling our mind, will, & emotions. It shows up in the way we feel about ourselves, others, & the world around us. It is a great joy for me to work with individuals in an atmosphere of safety, deep compassion, and non-judgement to bring about real change, healing, & growth.

With my clients, I work hard to be this presence. To form a safe space to feel your emotions, to be heard, and be accepted.

Your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about yourself are extremely painful and despite the part of you that knows that it's not right, you cannot shake the feeling that they are true. The truth is that there is nothing wrong with you. The truth is that you have been hurt and still have wounds that have never been properly addressed with nurturing and love. I can help you learn to love wisely. My clients find that my compassionate, gentle, and direct conversational style helps them feel safe and at ease.

Growing up as an only child in two culturally different households was tough. It feels like you’re always shape shifting to make everyone else more comfortable. Never getting a chance to relax into yourself. This left me on high alert, constantly second guessing all of my decisions. I didn’t know who I was, I was stuck feeling depleted and anxious to make any moves for fear I would seem foolish, or worse, fail. I became a therapist to help people who feel lost, whip those nagging voices in their head into shape. I'll help you challenge the unhealthy patterns you’ve gotten into because of doubt, shame, and believing the haters.

I am a mixed race (black and white) clinician and feel this gives me a unique perspective to mental health. Life can be mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausting. Trauma (racial, religious, or anywhere in between), work stress, marital strife, parenting woes and the like can at times feel magnified and the weight feels heavy, but I see you. Life is full of ups and downs and mental health can keep us feeling great or wanting to crawl into a dark hole. Sometimes we need to vent and have someone quietly listen, feel seen and validated, get practical advice or be taught practical ways to manage our emotions in real time.

Sometimes life can feel really harsh when we least expect it. Thoughts and memories from your past may be intruding into your current life. Controlling your anxiety now seems impossible. You may be questioning your relationship with alcohol or other substances. In therapy, you will learn to stop the panic, stop the racing thoughts, feel less sad, and process the parts of your past that continue to affect you today. We work collaboratively with individuals, drawing on techniques, like EMDR, to assist you in moving beyond the symptoms of your struggles to uncover the underlying causes of “stuckness” or suffering.

Grief Therapists

How long does therapy take for grief?

There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?

Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?

Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?

Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
