If you've landed here, you've made a valuable decision to honor your inner needs and feelings. I believe that all individuals have a desire to live meaningful and purposeful lives, yet sometimes become "stuck" in unhealthy ways of thinking about themselves and their circumstances. I'm trained in the use of CBT, Mindfulness, & African-Centered Social Work. I'm also trained in the work & research of Dr. Brene Brown which focuses on addressing issues related to shame & fear while learning to embrace vulnerability, courage, & worthiness. Please note: I currently have availability ONLY on Monday & Tuesday evenings.
My practice is devoted to working with women who are experiencing challenges with self-esteem, perfectionism, shame, anxiety, depression, boundary setting, work-life balance, relationship difficulties. I encourage women to embrace who they truly are, show up authentically, and learn to balance their needs and desires with those of others around them.
I view therapy as a collaborative process where the client and I work together to discover solutions to life's challenges. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment that enables clients to feel valued and free to express their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. I would be honored to support you on your journey of growth and healing.
