I am a Black mixed-race, queer woman and postdoctoral psychotherapist at And Still We Rise. I hold a Clinical Psychology Ph.D. at Adelphi University where I researched intergenerational trauma, mental health activism, and the impact of systemic oppression on mental health. I bring a social justice lens to my clinical work as a result of my experience in the racial justice movement and mental health organizing as a community organizer while earning my Bachelor's degree in Sociology at Vassar College.

Current openings for weekly EMDR therapy and EMDR Intensives. Do you find yourself feeling hijacked by past painful experiences, no matter what you do? Have you been trying to cope but are still in survival mode? Trauma can leave us feeling broken and disconnected from our true selves. You might not even remember a time when life didn't feel this way. But one thing is for sure: You're ready for some relief. You're ready to let go of what happened to you. And most of all, you're ready to experience a sense of deep and lasting change, with trust in yourself that you can handle any hurdles that come your way.

If you feel burdened by sadness, anxiety, unsatisfying relationships or difficult life transitions, therapy can help you find more effective ways to cope and connect to others in a more meaningful way. I believe that therapy is a process in which we will work together to help you live a more fulfilling life. My approach involves helping you cultivate curiosity about yourself, to understand both the positive and painful experiences now and in your past, so that you can move toward your most authentic self. Ultimately, my wish is for you to feel more comfortable and at peace, and to live a life that feels meaningful to you.

Psychotherapy offers an opportunity to develop one's capacity for self-awareness and to build a greater sense of personal agency. My practice focuses on helping people gain insight into patterns of relating to themselves and others that get in the way of finding fulfillment in relationships, work, and life. I listen carefully and work collaboratively with each person to make meaning of their experiences.

I work with individual, couples and groups who are in the midst of a life crisis, an enormous emotional struggle, who have experienced a traumatizing event in their lives or are grieving a loss. I have helped people access their own internal strength so they can start to feel solid ground under their feet again. Sometimes it is a process of changing something or coming to terms with a part of life that has been avoided or stuck in denial. Other times it is process of understanding more deeply and get more clarification in order to make a decision. Still others are working on re-building trust after being devastated by betrayal.

If you are depressed, anxious, or stressed by a transition, relationship, or problem, therapy can be an important way to get help. Therapy can help anyone who feels stuck--in a symptom, in a relationship, in a job, in a profession, in a set of feelings, in patterns of action and reaction, in any situation of recurring psychological pain.

Acknowledging that we cannot face life’s challenges alone and making the decision to ask for help is one of the most difficult and brave actions a person can take. I work from the perspective that all behaviors, thoughts, and feelings make sense within the context of our lives. At times though, things that once helped us cope with our circumstances no longer serve their purpose, but the thought of letting go or healing can feel overwhelming. My goal is to help clients gain better insight into their experiences while empowering a greater capacity for self-compassion and change.

Welcome! Congratulations on taking the first steps on your therapeutic journey! I am committed to helping my clients navigate the complexities of life. I strive to create a collaborative, warm, open environment in which clients can explore difficult issues with empathy, compassion, and, perhaps, a bit of humor. I believe that therapy is an opportunity to learn more about oneself, be heard and understood, and share sorrows, joys, and everything in between. It is a privilege to participate in my clients' journeys, and I take care to do so in a supportive, thoughtful manner tailored to each person's needs.

My pledge is to witness and support each individual's journey towards becoming more fully alive. In so doing, I bring to my work a respect and acceptance for deep pain as well as an ability to hold lightness and joy. I consider myself to be a collaborator in helping to bring old, unconscious patterns to light and thus begin loosening the hold of self limiting beliefs. My clients find me to be compassionate and grounded. I draw upon the wisdom of relational therapy, mind-body awareness, expressive and cognitive behavioral theories to discover what works for you.

Living in constant fear of being misunderstood, judged, or rejected can be incredibly draining and lonely. Many of us struggle with the nagging worry of not being good enough or worthy, which affects us in various areas of life such as work, school, home, and everyday interactions. To cope, we often avoid taking up space, concealing our true thoughts and emotions, and prioritizing others' needs over our own. Although this pattern may provide temporary relief, it ultimately prevents us from living a fulfilling and connected life. It can be challenging to imagine a different way of being, but it doesn't have to be this difficult.

Psychotherapy helps people face what is difficult in their lives. Beyond providing relief and support, growth in therapy leads to increased agency and purpose, more satisfying relationships, and to greater spontaneity and flexibility. I see people with complex histories who present with anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. I am engaged, committed and practical in my approach to helping people. I continue to train in experiential dynamic therapy models, which help clients access emotions and outgrow longstanding and broken coping strategies. These models include AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples) and ISTDP (Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy).

How can I find a therapist in Cambridge?

Search for nearby therapists or counselors by inputting your city, town, or suburb; or zip code; or a provider’s name into the search bar.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
