My approach is rooted in all the intersections of my own identity as a Black lesbian woman & a Veteran. In my practice I specialize in working with LGBTQ+, women, POC, military/veterans, & couples. Focusing on empowerment, strength, & enlightenment. I practice Integrative therapy, influenced by post-modern feminist therapy, LGBT+ Affirmative therapy, Intersectional, & social justice frameworks.

LGBT Affirmative Therapy celebrates the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer experience and addresses the negative consequences of growing up in a culture that suppresses and fears that experience.
I am delighted to be in private practice in West Hollywood. In addition to this work, I am a primary therapist in agencies where I treat clients with co-occurring substance abuse, food and sex addictions. My training includes work at Being Alive, an HIV/AIDS service organization, helping clients heal from chemical dependence, trauma, and co-occurring health challenges using LGBT Affirmative Therapy. During my time as an intern, I worked at Promises Malibu, Breathe Life Healing Centers, Refuge Recovery Centers and the Narrative Counseling Center. I have a Masters in Psychology with an LGBT Specialization from Antioch University.

My expertise is in working with those with addictions, smoking cessation, gay/ lesbian Issues, and anger management.
I began my private practice with one purpose in mind: to treat clients with respect for the possibility of change in their lives. It is my belief that the best treatment includes the development of a trusting relationship. I am here to support you in creating a life of courage in which you can tackle the obstacles that have limited your potential. I empower individuals to replace feelings of hopelessness with hope for a brighter future. Together, we can forge a plan that will lead to a much more fulfilling life experience.

I treat both couples and individuals (18+) and tailor psychotherapy to meet the goals and needs of the patient. The therapeutic relationship is especially important and my goal is to provide a collaborative and interactive psychotherapy experience. I have 30 years experience treating people who experience depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder and symptoms of alcohol and drug abuse. I also have the experience and privilege of serving a culturally and ethnically diverse population, including the gay and lesbian community.

Would it feel good to stop blaming yourself and/or another and start fighting the "problem"? Gay and lesbian affirmative and culturally sensitive, I help locate the problem and its effects, and uncover hidden examples of resilience and success.
Currently accepting new couples only. Choosing a couples therapist is no easy task, but it is important to find someone who actually is trained in this work. Relationships are the core of society and our lives, and yet we are never taught about the basics of communication: talking and listening. My work with couples AND individuals centers on learning how to talk about and listen to feelings, in order to build empathy and connection. Learn what works and how to get closer to those you care about (including yourself!).

I love helping others! Please reach out to see if I might be a good teammate for you. I will work to gain your trust, create space for you to share what you need to. We will work to understand your fears, frustrations, self-doubts, family dynamics that are causing stress, sadness, anger, confusion, etc. I am taking clients in-person and virtually (in CA) and will be grateful to talk. If you think I am not a good fit then perhaps I can help you find someone who is. I can support you out-of-network for your insurance and offer flexibility with rates, if needed.

Do you struggle with letting yourself truly rest? Humans aren’t machines, but a lot of us have been trained to hold ourselves to impossibly high standards of productivity. Is balance possible? Can we learn to adjust our pace to allow for rest and calm before burnout inevitably sets in?

The most significant predictor of a successful therapy experience is the quality of the relationship between therapist and client. Building a safe, nurturing relationship is where I excel. My style is warm and highly interactive, best suited for clients who prefer a therapist who feels very "human." I assist clients to explore their thought patterns and corresponding emotional responses, and to identify unconscious assumptions they hold about themselves and the world, which inform behavior patterns. I also provide practical tools for regulating anxiety, managing depression, and processing grief.

In my practice, I work with clients experiencing a range of concerns and who come to me from a broad spectrum of backgrounds and identities. My clients tend to be introspective, curious, and self-aware and are looking for tools to manage their emotional concerns and for pathways towards improving their quality of life. My clients want therapy that honors their full humanity and is solution- and present-focused. Clients who identify within the LGBTQIA+ community often seek therapists who share that identity; as a queer-identified therapist I am honored to serve my community.
