As a psychologist with extensive child, adolescent and adult training and experience I can work with all ages.
Identifying problems such as OCD, phobias, PTSD and depression early and learning effective coping strategies can make a significant difference in how much these problems impact a person's life now and in the future.

I use a strength-based approach to working with children, adults, couples, and families.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 40+ years of experience. I have written, presented, and consulted extensively about diversity, developmental psychology, multiculturalism, severe psychopathology, childhood abuse, trauma, sexual assault, community/domestic violence and African-American mental health. I believe everyone has a right to wellness & use strategies that promote humor, hard work, experiential learning resilience. There is a saying: "You do not have to teach a cut how to heal, you just have to create the best environment for healing to take place." My goal is to create a loving space for healing to take place.

Are you tired of conflict with your children or spouse?
Experience is the best teacher, and I enjoy opportunity to help clients find what they need through a creative experience combined with talk therapy. Your most significant conversation will not be with me, but with yourself. I believe a safe relationship paired with a therapeutic activity is what brings about new awareness, understanding, & behaviors.

Is your child navigating intense emotions?
My priority is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you and your child feel comfortable. Therapy is about building a trusting relationship that encourages sharing even the most difficult topics. Once that trust is in place, therapy becomes a creative, collaborative journey, where together we discover new ways to heal and grow.
