Teens and adults I work with often feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. They may be navigating school stress, family or relationship challenges, work pressures, or major life changes.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Registered Art Therapist I promote talk therapy and creative expression as methods for healing, empowerment and life enhancement. My focus is to be a conduit for compassion, grace, and healing. In therapy sessions, clients use talk therapy and/or art materials and techniques to explore emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects in order to access their innate wisdom and healing potential. By providing a safe and non-judgmental space for clients there is an invitation to enter a path into curiosity, discovery, and enrichment which presents openings for change and growth.

Adolescents and young adults often face overwhelming pressures that contribute to anxiety and depression. You might feel persistently worried, unable to focus, or drained by everyday activities. Stressors like peer conflicts, academic demands, or relationship struggles can amplify these feelings, creating a sense of isolation or hopelessness. Navigating these challenges can be daunting, often leading to withdrawal from things you once enjoyed. Understanding these emotions and why they persist is a vital step toward healing and regaining control over your life, allowing for more confidence and peace of mind.

You may be in a space where you’ve tried to do everything on your own, holding it together for everyone else, pouring out your energy into family, work, and relationships, while quietly carrying the weight of your own struggles with no place to lay them down. Maybe you’ve been searching for peace, direction, and clarity, and you’ve come to realize that what’s missing is not just healing for your mind, but restoration for your soul. You're ready to invite God into your healing, and to finally allow yourself to rest in His presence while also doing the work to grow.

Are you someone who is feeling like you’re carrying the weight of it all? As women and mothers, we often juggle endless to-do lists, emotional labor, and the invisible “mental load” that keeps everything running, yet no time for ourselves.

I work with women who are ready to release the constant pressure to manage it all and reconnect with themselves again. Together, we’ll explore what balance, peace, and fulfillment actually look like for you. My goal is to help you feel grounded, capable, and more like yourself again.

“Exhaustion, it seems, is a praxis; it is a theory and practice for protest and activism. Physical and psychological exhaustion is knowledge— because if you’re tired of the way things are that means you understand things can be different. Through a haze of exhaustion, you glimpse another world”.
(—Akwugo Emejulo).
Deciding things can be different and taking steps toward opening the road of change takes courage. I intend to create a space where you can start to see the way, make a way, and increase capacity to continue traveling on the road towards new ways(of being, living, existing).

I provide cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for a variety of mental health conditions. CBT is a goal focused therapy that involves techniques like learning coping strategies, tracking thinking patterns, and changing daily routines. You might be a good fit for this type of treatment if you have a particular set of symptoms you'd like to reduce (e.g., depression, anxiety, insomnia) or if you have a specific life stressor you'd like to address (e.g., experience of physical or sexual violence, combat, exposure to trauma in the workplace). I provide therapy exclusively via telehealth because I want to make treatment easier to access.

I work with clients who have experiences with trauma and abuse, having seen firsthand how devastating the untreated symptoms of trauma can be on a person's functioning with family, in the workplace and within communities. These symptoms include panic attacks, anxiety, depression, PTSD and can often lead to disabling substance use disorders among other issues. These clients seek to understand why they cannot manage their emotions and have often normalized their abusive experiences, so they do not see why they are struggling to function as easily as they perceive others to be doing.

I have worked with a lot of individuals with bipolar disorder, women's issues, biracial couples and first gen struggling through navigating two cultures.
How many times do we talk to our families, friends, partners, etc., and never actually feel seen, heard, or understood by them? This could be a very lonely feeling for anyone which can lead to more symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other life challenges.

Therapy often includes alternative modalities such as guided visualization,writing, art and relaxation techniques. Each client is honored as an individual, with therapy adapted to their specific needs and comfort levels.

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.
