Change is hard. And change within ourselves is even harder. Therapy can help with finding answers. It can be a place to explore barriers and challenges to living fully into the life you want. Therapy can help with identifying patterns in our lives, both good ones and bad, with recognizing our strengths, and with where we struggle. Therapy can be a place where we can find our way back to who we really are, supporting our hopes, dreams, values and strengths in living into our lives fully.

I provide individual therapy to children and adults experiencing a wide range of life challenges, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, work and school stress, and other life transitions. I have a particular interest in new mother’s mental health and supporting individuals as they adjust to parenting.

The process of finding a therapist can be overwhelming. It is difficult know who could be a good match for you based on a brief profile or a photograph. Beyond this profile, I am here to answer any questions that you may have. My therapeutic approach is informed by my work as a faculty member at Boston University School of Medicine. I define my style as a balance of support, challenge, warmth, and authenticity. I believe in creating a safe place where clients can express their vulnerabilities and share their difficult stories in a space that is free of judgment.

Trauma, stress, and oppression can make every aspect of life - from day to day tasks to forming new relationships, to living the life you desire- feel nearly impossible. All too often, these painful experiences and challenges can steer us away from our goals, supports, and values. As a therapist, I collaborate with clients to explore their experiences and identities to better understand how the past may be influencing their present. I believe that all clients are capable of living a value driven, fulfilling life - I simply help by holding space for discovery, compassion, and healing.

We are all designed uniquely and live uniquely. Every person that we encounter is shaped by the interwoven threads of mind, body, and spirit as well as relationships, work, education, culture, community, and history. As such, Harbor Christian Counseling (HCC) seeks to care for the whole person through services that take into account this full range of formative influences. Caring for the whole person also means that we partner with our clients to address unwanted or problematic behaviors while gradually moving deeper to explore root issues that might be hampering growth.

We bring a decolonized and liberated perspective to therapy. Blackness and all expressions thereof, are celebrated here at Kuji. The Black experience is incorporated into all of our services and all voices – LGBTQIA+, POC, and Indiginous, are uplifted and celebrated.

Are you feeling anxious or down? Are you unsure about the future of a relationship, or wondering why you find yourself repeating the same patterns and behaviors? Therapy is a collaborative process of self-discovery and personal growth. It takes a lot to reach out to a complete stranger and ask for help and you should feel proud you are considering taking this first step. I like to see my clients laugh, know what makes them happy and see them learn more about themselves through the process of therapy.

I have 30+ years of experience helping adults by integrating a variety of therapy approaches. I focus on resilient, positive strategies and coping skills as we discuss your concerns in privacy. I help with anxiety, depression, & adjustment to traumatic stress. Issues often include romantic relationships, family conflicts, or divorce. After a family developmental assessment, we identify emotional stuck points that can get in your way today. Clients feel more empowered finding new ways to think & manage ongoing triggers; to process their emotions & try new behaviors. They engage their present with more intention, clarity & meaning.

Entering one’s private life through psychotherapy for me is like being a wanted guest in their house – it is a privilege and responsibility. I work with adults with various mental health issues, including sadness, anxiety, trauma, self-criticism, relationship issues, work burnout, people-pleasing tendency. It is a great honor to witness people crafting their strengths and inviting curiosity instead of criticism in life through self-compassion. Collaboratively, we can create a safe space to help you feel your feelings; build awareness; understand relationship patterns; and develop strategies to cope at home, work and in society.

My approach to therapy is strength-based, person-centered, and goal-oriented. I value holistic understanding of each client and believe in the importance of building a strong therapeutic alliance. I strive to create safety/comfort in therapy to allow for processing of difficult emotions and to support the development of healthy relationships, adaptive coping strategies, positive self-esteem, and decision-making that aligns with your values and goals.
