Feeling stuck in the same cycles? Exhausted, drained, or unsure how to move forward? Change, conflict, and relationship challenges can feel overwhelming, lonely, or impossible to untangle. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and caring — yet feel anxious, disconnected, or unsure how to break patterns that no longer serve them.

I work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, life changes, and relationship issues.
Life certainly has a way of presenting us with major and often unexpected challenges. While it's true that we can’t control if or when these show up, we can choose how to respond. This often means stepping away from reactions that come from a place of fear, habit, or distorted self-perceptions. By letting go of what no longer serves us, we can develop new skills that move us closer to the life we want to live, even with the difficulties we face.

Now accepting new clients. Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. I work with women and professionals of color who often spend so much time showing up for everyone else that they lose touch with themselves in the process. Many are high-achieving and deeply caring, yet struggle with perfectionism, high-functioning anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, self-doubt, and boundaries. Clients often come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in survival mode while navigating unresolved trauma, relationship stress, demanding environments, and major life transitions.

The world is too hard to not have our people supporting us, and I know how hard it can be when you get out of sync with your loved ones. That’s why I bring a relational component to the work I do with individuals, and an individual component to the work I do with relationships—we all deserve help in understanding each other.

I’m a Black queer therapist based in south Minneapolis providing therapy for adults, teens, and kids across Minnesota.
People who seem to have it together often feel stuck, exhausted, or disconnected inside. If you’re navigating complicated relationships, worn down by work stress, or feeling stuck in perfectionism, you’re not alone. We can work on setting boundaries, managing burnout, and finding ways to feel more like yourself. I also support kids and teens who need a steady, calm space to work through big feelings or tough transitions. Therapy with me is collaborative and grounded in curiosity rather than judgment. Together we slow things down to notice patterns, understand what’s underneath the stress, and try new ways of responding.

I am motivated by the liberatory potential of the therapeutic relationship, for the individual and the systems they inhabit. Many of us are overwhelmed. It can be difficult to identify our purpose in life and find the motivation to show up every day. So many of us are feeling crowded by our increasing responsibilities in an uncertain world, by the feeling that we're drowning in information but have no access to wisdom or a sense of meaning. I am curious about your life experiences and how those experiences have informed the way you respond to life’s uncertainties. Together, we can discover answers to the unasked questions.

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.
