“Self-care is the constant practice of not letting more pain accumulate.” -Susan Raffo.

I believe in treating the intersections of the mind, body, and spirit. Listening, witnessing, empathizing, and being present are tenets of my therapeutic framework.

Are you feeling lost and alone where you are and ready to heal and move forward? Are you currently feeling stuck or dissociated due to chronic stress and anxiety, or have a past history of trauma? Consider participating in comprehensive, individualized psychotherapy services that focus on helping you to gain control over your mind and body. As a trained trauma therapist, I focus on utilizing specific processes tailored at reseting the central nervous system for you to feel safe in your body, improve your body's ability to regulate difficult emotions, and allow for you to live your life rather than just survive each day.

Hey Mama... Tired of pretending you're fine? It's OK to not be OK! COVID is still a thing and life right now is HARD. If you need support and a sane adult to talk to - I'm here! No expectations. No judgement. No drama. I am dedicated to supporting new, experienced, and hopeful moms through life’s transitions and stresses. My person-centered, holistic approach allows me to develop individually-tailored treatment plans to support you in setting realistic expectations and healthy goals.

You’ve made a courageous step in seeking therapy. Therapy can help us heal and grow, through deep listening and presence. Early life shapes how we create our sense of self, learn boundaries, and tend to feelings. We can decide now how we want to show up for ourselves and others, uncovering skills and beliefs that no longer serve us.

Finding a new therapist can be a difficult task -- I offer a free consultation to help with the choosing process. In my practice, I respect that people are naturally resilient, even in the face of adversity and world-changing events. However, maybe you need help working through feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, or other unpleasant moods. Perhaps you’re negotiating a transition into or out of a relationship, job, or life phase. You may even be in the process making meaning of events or are exploring nuanced identity possibilities. Whatever the concern, I will listen with compassion, presence, and knowledge.

Life is full of transitions that often require support, guidance and trusted people to help. My experience connecting with many people to meet them where they are has contributed to my success as a therapist over the years in their times of needs and celebrations.

I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) techniques to promote self-love and client growth.

Accepting NEW clients - virtual AND in office ! We specialize in working with African American/Black, BIPOC Men, Women, Couples and Teens (14 and up) who press forward despite exhaustion and discomfort; ignore heavy feelings to stop from lashing out or cutting people off; who are relied upon by many but supported by few; are “over-analyzers” paralyzed by decision fatigue; are fearful, hopeless and numb; the angry, broken and misunderstood.

My ideal client is someone who admits they need help due to the fact that what they have been trying thus far is not working. They are looking to better themselves or help remedy life conflicts, stress, trauma, addiction, or daily life struggles. A client who is ready to engage in having a thoughtful, nurturing, safe space to help them move to a healthier life style and finding peace within. My new and ongoing training aligns with my core-values and therapeutic approach. I am confident the more I continue to learn, the better I am equipped to serve the individual needs of my clients.

I am focused on the mental and emotional needs of my potential clients. I am driven to assist in the areas of Grief and Loss and Addictions Counseling. I am compelled to help individuals to become aware of how it all started, how it progressed and the steps it takes to move toward change. Making positive change opens the doors to new horizons.

I work with people who'd like to feel more secure, especially around others. You may be uncomfortable asserting your needs and having conversations that might lead to conflict. Others’ expectations of you are often in the front of your mind, especially when you’re making decisions. This leads to relationships that feel unbalanced and unsatisfying, or a sense that it’s impossible to meet good people to share your time with. It also leaves you uncertain about what will make you truly happy. You might blame yourself for things that go wrong and dwell on what you could have done differently.

Life is full of surprises. No matter how much you prepare and plan, unexpected events may occur. I believe that therapy is an essential tool to help prepare you to cope with the unexpected as well as the stressors of everyday life. I am passionate about normalizing therapy by educating people on the benefits and necessity of having an unbiased listening ear to help work through life events. I strive to provide a comfortable environment where clients feel safe to share their most vulnerable thoughts and ideas. I will work as an advocate to help my clients become empowered in their ability to cope with whatever life throws at them.

Greetings! I have a unique approach to implementing effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among clients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to remember that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation.

Making a choice to attend therapy is never easy. One of the bravest things you can do is to understand your own story, pain, and trauma. I believe many people suffer in silence and I want to be the first person to tell you—I’m ready to listen and walk with you on your journey. My goal is to create a safe space as we collaborate to address your presenting concerns, such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, adjustment concerns, and/or trauma. Life often takes us on a difficult road leading us to find new ways to manage, work through, or create new options.

I am passionate about helping people reach radical self-acceptance and self-love through vulnerability. I enjoy helping people go through the murky waters of their subconscious mind to identify their trauma, conditioning and core beliefs to heal which allows them to live a more aligned and authentic life. I truly believe that to unlock the abundance of the Universe, you have to be in alignment with your highest self. I am obsessed with human behavior, Astrology, Spirituality and Psychology and this knowledge adds to my toolkit and how I practice.
