Difficulty Finding A Therapist? Sessions Now Available - In Person/Online. EMDR Offered! You have reached out, which may mean it's time to take action. I am here to help get you unstuck. When we are stuck amid problems, we can lose hope. It may feel like things will never change. Being stuck prevents us from seeing our choices, so we may try to resolve a problem by doing something we have already tried. This is normal, but sometimes normal stops working. I will help you connect with your healthy side (I believe it's there inside of you) to improve relationships, reduce self-sabotaging behaviors, and better manage your emotions.
I treat panic disorder, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues. Trained in EMDR, a robust trauma treatment approach endorsed by the World Health Organization, I provide results-oriented therapy. I see beyond your symptoms to explore how culture, family, work and life events help or hinder your growth. I also specialize in healing racial trauma.
The human experience can be a painful one, so I invite you to reach out to me as you or your family member trek this dark passage. You don't have to walk it alone. You have an ally in your corner, one who does not lead the way, but shows you the pathway of choices, so you can trek the way to healing, growth & recovery. You're one click away from getting help
