The decision to begin psychotherapy takes courage and commitment. I work with individuals and couples, creating a safe environment for problem-solving, healing and growth. I believe there are discernible reasons for the pain people feel and the problem behaviors we sometimes exhibit, and that understanding those reasons is an important step in reducing painful symptoms and self-defeating behaviors, and in feeling better.

Are you feeling unrelenting worry, sadness, or overwhelm? Or is life not meeting your expectations? These feelings can be paralyzing and affect all areas of our lives.

Finding a therapist is tough. The most important part is finding a good match. And you've already taken the first step. I believe in the healing power of authenticity and self advocacy. People struggle when they lose their sense of power, numb themselves from their problems, and feel trapped in their circumstances. Deep down, we all have a sense of what we need. But sometimes life makes us forget, ignore, or deprioritize those needs.. In particular, I focus on grief, LGBT issues, and the challenges faced by young adults. As someone who has experienced grief, identifies as trans, and has survived early adulthood, I can relate.

Are you anxious or depressed? Is anxiety or depression interfering with your life? Anxiety and depression can be paralyzing and may prevent you from living the kind of life that you seek. Typical coping strategies may provide limited but not lasting relief. I can help you to identify, modify, eliminate or manage the behaviors and beliefs that fuel anxiety and mood disorders. By learning a new set of skills, you can pursue the life you desire free from the burdens that have held you back.

I enjoy working with individuals who need support through issues due to their experience being a part of one or more minority groups (and intersections in between), women’s issues, the experience of being a Black person, LGBTQIA+ matters, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, peer relations, and trauma.
I am passionate about working with all minorities in society, including LGBTQ+ folx. I have experience working through taboo topics, trauma, racial identity and women's issues, and am vocal about my stance on social justice when necessary. I use an integrative approach to therapy to tailor sessions to the specific needs of each of my clients. I am humanistic, person-centered in my approach and facilitate interpersonal relational work. I am always strength based and really enjoy working with Black folx & people of color, but I am willing to work with anyone who is ready to work through current life stressors in non judgmental space.

I believe one of the most healing things we can do is understand our stories and how it affects our everyday life and relationships. These experiences can manifest in different ways such as anxiety, emotional numbness, or relationship challenges. The clients I work with have oftentimes experienced complex relational traumas in childhood and dysfunctional family dynamics. Through these difficult experiences, we develop coping strategies and protective behaviors, which may no longer be serving you.

I have a calm and warm approach with adults of all ages, women, men, straight and gay.
Over my forty-five year career I have worked with many different people of every race, age, and problem type. I listen with a supportive, trained ear, and help my clients find the best coping strategies that will enable them to be happier. Even if only one person is in my office, I see that person as part of their family system, and help them make positive changes that will increase good feelings and reduce conflict. Nearly everyone goes through a rough period in their life when psychotherapy could be helpful for getting back on track. Recently I completed a two day course to become a Certified Trauma therapist.
