Hello and welcome! I am a Clinical Psychologist and have practiced as a psychotherapist for over 20 years. Many of my clients have commented that they healed and grew tremendously while working with me because I help them gain insight into their problems while also helping them use healthy strategies to change their situations. Using the foundation of an authentic, trusting, and warm relationship, I use a number of modalities including Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I work with Individuals across the lifespan, couples, and groups.
The essence of my practice is to provide a culturally responsive and Integrative therapy stance. I consider my areas of specialization to be women’s issues especially for women of color, trauma, attachment issues, and managing cultural influences and dynamics. I have worked with many diagnoses including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and adjustment disorders.
I recognize that finding a therapist and engaging in therapy can be a confusing and overwhelming process. I also believe it is important for each person to find the right fit when choosing a therapist. Please reach out to schedule some time with me so we can see if we can work well together. I look forward to meeting you!
