Life gets busy; it sometimes feels too busy to stop and take a moment. When this happens, feelings of overwhelm, worry, and burnout occurs. I strive to help you take ownership and find strength when feeling powerless. I work with young adolescents, teens, college students, and adult women in areas of confidence, life transitions, and perinatal/ women 's issues. Loving who you are is not a linear process. I want to help you feel comfortable in your skin so you can navigate life feeling proud, confident, and worthy of meaningful connections.

No judgement here. As a Christian Counselor, I help Christian women and girls age 10+ with anxiety, depression, anger management, low self-esteem, ADHD, and feelings of rejection, guilt, and shame and stress management. I also support women who are struggling with issues dealing infidelity and divorce. I believe self-care post divorce is so important. I help men and boys 13+ with anger management. For couples, I provide pre-marital counseling. My approach is non-judgmental, safe and caring which I believe are essential to the healing process of moving forward. Individuals DO NOT have to be Christian. Christian views are not forced on individuals.

As an experienced therapist, having worked with thousands of women , I believe that every woman can find freedom from the pressures we so often place on ourselves.
You want to appear successful, like you have it “all together” but deep down are struggling to feel confident in who you are or cope with challenging experiences that have occurred in your life. You feel the pressure to be perfect all the time and you spend a lot of your time making sure everyone else is taken care of, but you some how neglect your own needs. Maybe you’re tired of stressing out, tearing yourself apart every time you mess up, or feeling like you’re about to crumble at any second. At this point, it may be hard to even remember when you didn't feel like this. But one thing is for sure, you’re ready for some relief.

With 25+ years of experience, I am especially adept at working with: 1) college & grad students, recent graduates, and young-to-middle age professionals experiencing anxiety, social anxiety, life transitions, perfectionism, and relationship challenges; 2) adults with medical diagnoses; 3) healthcare providers and educators; 4) women with midlife challenges.
I help adults who feel overwhelmed and unable to live life fully due to anxiety, fear, worry, and depression. My specialty is the treatment of anxiety disorders, adjustment disorder, and interpersonal/relational issues - particularly in adults age 18-40 years. Specifically, I treat generalized anxiety, social anxiety, complex/relational trauma, and anxiety caused by circumstances such as acute or chronic illness, life transition, loss, relationship difficulties, and social isolation. I help clients understand the ways that anxiety limits their lives. Since chronic anxiety often leads to depressive symptoms, I treat that as well.

I am particularly effective with women who hear the "call" that there can be something more.
Transpersonal Psychology is short term and positive. I specialize in using MARI (Mandala Assessment Research Instrument). MARI is a Jungian tool based on symbols and colors, which when chosen, reveal a visual picture of the psyche. Given the effectiveness of MARI, one session therapy is a very real possibility. MARI is non-verbal and non-threatening and is the only intrument that speaks to the deepest psychological and spiritual states. My particular area of interest is women who are in the middle of making changes in their lives.

Currently only accepting adult (18+) clients. Multiple factors determine our holistic wellness and one facet can often throw off the others. Our mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical aspects need to be addressed as parts of our whole self and should be included in therapy.

As a black, mother, female identifying, queer, child of immigrant parents, and wife I feel grateful to be able to relate to many and empathize with most.
March 2023 accepting new clients- More than ever it’s important to be heard and heal, especially for BIPOC individuals. The intersection of mental health, racism, and collective trauma need a safe space to unburden. Anyone who wants to know more about their anxious thoughts, identity, self care, career stress, mood, sleep, health stress, life transitions, coping, loss, procrastination, relationships, “bad side” of self, motivation, burn out, safety, and family dynamics is welcome. I value continued education and always strive to provide proven approaches to the concerns you hold closest to your heart and wellbeing.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
