Don’t live there one more day! I can assist you in healing your mind and body using an integrative approach.
Are you overwhelmed trying to find your purpose and flooded with emotions one minute but feel detached the next? Maybe everything is "alright", but picking at you is agitation and malcontent. Numb is your middle name. You are not alone. What is trauma? It's both generational and experiential. It's whatever happened to you that blocked connection to self and didn’t allow your inner child to fully express. No baby is born bad. Love was conditional. You have mother wounds. You worked hard to please others and shut your light down; you hid what you were really feeling. You stopped trusting people-and yourself. You want freedom!

With a background in evidence-based treatments, I use an integrative framework where I blend behavioral and relational therapeutic approaches to support change.
Taking that first step is huge and finding the right therapist fit is important. I am passionate about helping adult clients navigate life’s stressors. Many of my clients struggle with identifying and validating their emotional experiences, which impacts all areas of their lives. I work collaboratively with my clients as they learn to cope with life changes, relationship struggles, grief and loss, and complex family relationships. As you learn to better understand yourself and your current coping style, we will work together to develop new strategies to support the struggles that brought you to therapy.

Each client is unique and I utilize an integrative approach that uses different theories tailored to the needs of my clients.
Life is an adventure and too many people attempt to journey alone. At times paths are needed with a guide. Counseling provides you with a safe place to process emotions and life experiences. If you feel stuck and do not know how to move forward, I can help you. As your therapist, I will help you on your journey towards self-healing and empowerment. I work with children, teens, and adults who are experiencing an array of different distress from life’s transitions.

I'm integrative, holistic, and person-centered in my practice, using evidence-based interventions that best fit you.
Hi ya'll :) I provide services to people who seek my help. Even if it's to get you to another provider who fits you! I want to work with folks who are open to doing the work - which is a hard thing to do. I validate that. But let's do this if you have the space. I provide gender affirmative psychotherapy, as well as brief assessments for WPATH letters for life saving, gender affirmative health care + GHAC letters to appeal insurance denials of coverage for GAHC (don't back down!). You don't have to be LGBTQIA2S+ for me to be invested in your well-being. If you imagine a fit, please reach out and we can figure it out together.

Hi there, finding the best-fit therapist is sometimes the hardest part of getting started in therapy, but that’s why you’re here: to find a therapist you will feel supported by in your healing journey. And I may have the expertise you are looking for. Scroll down, take a look around, and get comfy; here’s a bit about me: I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults, and while I have a lot of clients who are in different life phases, one thing tends to ring true for each of them: they want to feel less weighted by the voice that spins in their head, break past their fears, and start living a life they love.

Sistas, how y’all feel? Brothas, y’all alright? As an African-American female, I’ve experienced firsthand the challenges that my community faces. I understand the stigma surrounding mental health, but let me clarify for the people in the back: seeking therapy does not make you weak. You don’t have to ‘be strong’ or ‘push through’ like our elders did. And what happens in your house doesn't have to stay there if it’s hurting you!

I am currently taking new telehealth clients for sex therapy, couples therapy and trauma therapy. My ideal client wants to heal. With all the trauma from the past few years, self-work has never been more necessary and normalized. Coming out of a global pandemic, with relationships and sex lives suffering, we all need to be intentional about rebuilding emotional, mental and sexual health. Whether you’re trying to heal from trauma, improve communication and intimacy in your relationship(s), explore polyamory or consensual non monogamy, or explore sexual and/or gender identity, I believe I can help you to achieve your personal goals.

We all struggle. We all feel as though we aren't achieving our goals. We all go through the motions of day to day life. We all think "something has to change". One of the best (and hardest) things someone can do is recognize when they need a little extra support, and it seems as though you've reached that point. And that is okay! What a wonderful step you are taking to regain control of your life, relationship, or overall well-being. You have the answers to your problems, we just have to dig and work a little to get you that point of realization.

I am the life coach for therapists, healers, seekers, & dreamers. NO big Package by-ins--have 1 session at a time with no commitment--and I'll happily give referrals if I'm not the right healer for you. Good fits? Previous therapy experience, already has some understanding of personal 'stuck points' and want guidance, support, mentorship, & 'how-to' tools to live balanced, fulfilled, peaceful. Life is hard enough--easier with emotionally effective tools and strategies. I think my best work is in teaching people from difficult backgrounds how to fully, deeply, love and heal themselves, to get out of survival mode and into LIVING.

There is something empowering about feeling completely seen and heard and being met with empathy. My approach is warm and down-to-earth, meeting each client with compassion and support. I have a passion for working with individuals experiencing life stressors, including finding meaning and purpose in life, work-life balance, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, parenthood, and the ending of a relationship. I believe we all have a reason for how we arrived where we are in life, and the narratives we tell ourselves shape our identities. My approach is to help you gain control of your life and envision a new future.

Waitlist for new clients
You are stronger than you may think. Everything you need to get unstuck and heal is already inside you. Not so sure about that? I want to help you work through life struggles like career satisfaction, relationships, spirituality, and the uneasiness that inevitably surfaces when we start wondering about the direction life is taking and how we make it meaningful. There is no cure-all for healing wounds, catching curve balls, and breaking through stuck spots on this journey of life. I want to empower you to find your best path by exploring your individual experience, and uncovering your strengths.

Meaningful connection is essential for every human being to belong and to feel safe. When you start to lose this connection, you may start to feel the pull of your anxiety carrying you away in its wave of damaging and critical thoughts. You start to feel overcome with too many conflicting emotions that it becomes harder to make any decisions. You may even feel disconnected with your loved ones, where you can no longer communicate, and you start to believe that you are no longer compatible, while still hoping and longing to be close to one another. It is an exhausting push-pull cycle.

You're busy and anxious. The relationships in your life feel tense. Your child's behavior is concerning you, and your relationship with your partner feels nonexistent. You are so busy balancing everything you don't feel like yourself anymore. You feel like you've tried everything to get the spark back, but the harder you try the more tension builds between your child, partner, and self. You're not sure if you can fulfill all your roles anymore. It feels hard.

Integrative Therapists
What is integrative therapy?
Integrative therapy is a type of therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the individual client. By merging elements of different treatments, an integrative therapist aims to offer a more flexible approach than those who practice just one type of therapy.
How does integrative therapy work?
Integrative therapy approaches a client’s mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic way to discover the sources of their unhealthy behavior patterns or other challenges and considers the approach most likely to lead to improvement. Among the techniques an integrative therapist may practice are cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, art or music therapy, psychodynamic therapy, breathwork, family systems therapy, gestalt therapy, and trauma-informed therapy. An integrative therapist regularly evaluates the client’s progress and is prepared to pivot to a different approach if progress stalls.
How long does integrative therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for integrative therapy; people who find they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that spurred them to seek treatment. New patients should understand that it may take some time for a therapist to land on a treatment approach that best meets their needs, but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.
How effective is integrative therapy?
There are hundreds of types of talk therapy, and research shows that while they vary in form, goals, and frequency, many if not all can produce similarly successful outcomes. But a single approach does not always deliver the greatest, or speediest, benefit, and so even therapists primarily trained in one model will use tools, language, techniques, or exercises from others to shape an effective treatment plan.
