I am so sorry - practice is full. Each of us has gifts we need to develop our full potential for joy, productivity, and loving relationships. Yet for many of us, childhood neglect or trauma, or more recent experiences, may have resulted in thoughts and feelings that get in our way. We will collaborate to understand your needs and build resilience, exploring strategies to help you navigate tough times, understand emotions, change unwanted behaviors, and heal the sources of your pain. As we explore challenges, you will develop your unique strengths - in an environment that is caring and safe, non-judgmental, and culturally-responsive.
My diverse practice is open to adults - with anxiety, shame, grief, or interpersonal conflict - and to parents supporting children's wellness. We will develop your skills to manage emotions, choose your responses, address the roots of each challenge, perhaps in trauma and attachment, and work to identify/strengthen supportive environments to help you thrive.
My approach to therapy is liberatory in approach. Clients are welcomed with warmth and respect, as we explore together the challenges they face. I have completed certificates at The Trauma Center and The EMDR Institute. Also trained in: mindfulness/self-regulation practices (MBCT); Decolonizing Therapy for Black Folks (TTL); TF-CBT; IFS.
