I work with individuals and couples. If you are looking for answers to why you feel the way you do, have relationships that follow a pattern, experience life in a particular way, or react in a manner you'd rather not, you're in good company! I've found that many people are not only searching for understanding, but solutions and tools to have a different experience of themselves, others, and life as a whole.
I take a warm, curious, and nonjudgmental approach to this work. I want to help my clients best understand themselves and how to navigate issues from their past and present. My goal is to help improve your quality of life.

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, but rather it is shaped by your needs and life experiences. Starting therapy can be daunting but I am here to make it feel less intimidating. It is my purpose to find what sets everyone apart, helping you discover and develop the tools you have within you. We are all human. With that comes imperfections, differences, and experiences that impact who we are. Therapy is a non-judgmental space to remind the inner critic that it does not belong. Humanity is strength. I value showing up authentically and genuinely. I am human too, imperfections and all, and I seek to remind you that you are not alone.

Do you ever feel like you’re “too much” or “not enough”? Do things feel overwhelming or "stuck"? Maybe you're exhausted trying to navigate a world that wasn’t built for your brain? Or do you feel like you keep hitting the same roadblocks in relationships?
Are you a parent wondering where the manual is? Do your own parents' words come out of your mouth after swearing that you would never parent like they did, but don't know what else to do? Do you struggle to find a balance that works for your family?
Spoiler alert: There is no such thing as a perfect parent; let's figure out your best parent self together!

I believe there is power in exploring and coming to know yourself in deeper and more compassionate ways. We all carry parts of ourselves that served us at one point, and don’t quite work anymore. In therapy with me, we will adopt a curious approach to you to see what we can understand about you, your patterns, ways of relating, etc. We will also work together to explore any thought or emotion that comes to your mind to try to uncover more about you and your inner world. One overarching goal of our therapy will be to build insight, and explore both conscious and unconscious patterns to work toward meaningful change and growth.

When working with clients, I use a collaborative approach. With this in mind, I want to make sure the relational aspect as well as interpersonal aspects of a person are an important part of the process. I work with adolescents, adults, families and couples struggling with interpersonal issues, relational discord, life transitions, familial conflict, body imaging struggles, trauma and other stressors that may arise. I have experience working with adults and adolescents in generational poverty, domestic violence survivors, teen pregnancy, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, sexual trauma and social justice concerns.

My style of therapy is down to earth, honest, rooted in understanding your unique perspective and lived experiences so we can get to the heart of what you seek support and clarity on. I weave together anti-oppressive, consent-driven, person-centered, and community-focused lenses, influenced by personal, educational and professional experience, to create a place where you can show up as you are. There you can start identifying what you already know and understand, as well as what you have questions about.

My ideal clients are ready for real change. They're tired of feeling stuck in anxiety, self-doubt, trauma, unhealthy relationship patterns, or fear-based thinking. They value authenticity and want more than a place to talk—they want to understand themselves, learn practical tools, and create lasting change. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck and build a healthier, more peaceful way of moving through life.

Hi, I’m Imara! After nearly a decade in the ABA world, I’ve seen firsthand how deeply people can struggle when they feel misunderstood, pressured to mask parts of themselves, or disconnected from who they are. I view therapy as a collaborative process focused on self-understanding, growth, and creating a life that feels sustainable and authentic. I founded Self & Skill because I believe therapy should make space for the whole person while helping clients build practical skills, confidence, and support that actually fits their lives.

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.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in patterns that do not make sense, even when you are trying your best.
