People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. A common reason for beginning therapy is that some aspect of life does not feel as though it is working leaving you feeling frustrated, anxious, or unfulfilled. I enjoy working with people who have had successes in life, yet struggle to maintain happiness, energy, and a positive self-view. We work together to identify problems, both current and past, and new ways of working through them. I focus on the whole person in order to help people live their life in a way that feels whole, integrated, and satisfying.

Let me help guide you on your path to healing. We often repeat the same patterns without knowing why or understanding how to break free of these unhealthy cycles. By working together with my clients, we're able to recognize these patterns and get to the underlying root of where and how they may have developed. This process helps give my clients better clarity and insight of their own emotional experience, inner world, and behaviors. By understanding and healing from our past, we're able to improve our relationships with ourselves and with others.

I am passionate about supporting women as they navigate the perinatal period - pregnancy, birth and postpartum. This is a period of transformation, where we may experience changes emotionally, physically, interpersonally, and with identity. The experience surrounding pregnancy and birth, especially when one or both don’t go as planned, can increase feelings of distress, isolation, and overwhelm - adding challenge to an already intense life transition. We tend to have a lot of judgements about how we "should" feel during this time, and it can be quite upsetting when that doesn't match our experience.

I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and co-creating an environment for you to share and feel your most authentic range of emotions, especially the ones you were taught to hide or felt too big to face. I prioritize working with our collective process in the room so that you may better understand the experiences and familiar narratives that have left you feeling stuck, unheard, or disconnected, to create room to explore and connect more deeply with yourself and others. I often work with trans and queer community and folks with marginalized relationship structures/embodiments.

Whether you are entering therapy with a clear vision of what you are looking for or are more uncertain of your goals, I will work with you to come up with strategies for growth and the development of optimal emotional health and functioning. I believe that healing occurs through the process of building a trusting therapeutic relationship. By creating a safe and confidential environment I will help you to better understand patterns (which are often outside of your awareness) that lead to emotional distress. Recognition of these patterns empowers you to make choices that can lead to life long change.

While I am a licensed psychologist, my training has centered around systems thinking and relationship issues, more specifically marriage and family therapy. As well, I have pursued the study of Jungian ideas (focus on individual strengths) so that when I am dealing with relationship issues including relationship with self, I have an inner as well as outer perspective.
I have taught various courses in family therapy at two universities since the early 1980's which has solidified my own method of helping clients.

I have learned that how we chose to relate to caregivers in childhood influences how we create and maintain relationships in adulthood.
Primarily, I reference psychodynamic, internal family systems and mindfulness theories as I work with patients, and I aim to create a strong therapeutic bond that allows patients to feel safe exploring new ways of being. I also consider how institutional racism plays a role in self-cohesion and offer a space to shed colonial conditioning.

I believe in the power of human connection and the importance of being fully accepted for who you are. Too often we lose ourselves in this busy world and once we take a step back and take a deep breath, we realize things no longer feel right. Together we can slow down, unpack what brings you to therapy (no matter how big or how small), and work towards a healthier, more fulfilling future. As a counselor, I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where you feel well cared for. Therapy is a collaborative process, and together we will work to understand your experiences, grow self-awareness, and meet your mental health goals.

I am a Black female therapist and I specialize working with high achieving women who are struggling with grief, work stress and/or alcohol misuse. My typical client rarely (if ever) asks for help. She is smart, hardworking, and exceptional. She is also exhausted, sad and lonely. She feels lost, broken and increasingly resentful of those she loves which makes her feel guilty. Sometimes she has thoughts of escaping her life. Sometimes those thoughts are dark which scares her. If this sounds like you, you don't have to keep taking on everyone else's problems while you struggle in silence. I can help.

FAQ - About Adult Counseling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioral therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists hold various licenses depending on their training and state requirements. Common therapy credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
