You struggle with intense emotions and feel stuck in your life. You feel irritable, down, worried, or numb more days than not. You may lash out at others or yourself. Old coping strategies no longer work. It’s difficult to imagine life improving - for you to do anything other than tolerate your symptoms. The clients I work with have experienced trauma of all kinds, including childhood sexual abuse, betrayal, sexual assault, incest, combat trauma, racism, ableism, homophobia, physical and emotional abuse, and dysfunctional families.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? No more than ever, people feel anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about managing their relationships, careers, and lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. It shouldn't be so hard to live a better life. I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve the goals they wish to accomplish. My clients describe me as warm and honest.

Do people assume you have it all together, but you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma that overwhelms your thoughts and emotions? Maybe you want to feel as confident and in control (on the inside) as other people think you are on the outside. You may look like you've got it all together, whether a mother or a corporate executive, but sometimes even the "strong one" needs support. As a Black woman and therapist, I use an intersectional approach so we can explore areas like identity (race, sexuality, gender), family, and environment and you can experience being heard, supported, and empowered to thrive.

Online Therapists
Any therapy begins with a surface challenge causing life discomfort, where clients seek to "fix," "change," "get rid of," or "not feel/experience" issues like anger, relationship intimacy, anxiety, or decision-making difficulties. As trust builds in the therapeutic relationship, we delve deeper into untangling complex situations, considering cultural background and unique perspectives. Therapy facilitates changes on the level of values, life perspectives, self-reliance, and self-worth. Change takes time; just as it took years to form old habits, adopting new approaches is a gradual process.

Being with the people closest to us is often the most challenging part of our life. You might understand why things are like this, but how do you deal with it? The same conflicts repeat over and over. Despite your best efforts to avoid this, you watch yourself falling back to yelling, arguing, or walking away defeated. Maybe it's not ALWAYS this way but there's definitely potential for improvement. Getting along better would ease a lot of that stress, worry, and pain. Things would certainly improve for others affected by this negativity too. Knowing how to love yourself and others would make life much easier and enjoyable.

Hello! I am a psychotherapist who approaches therapy with an open and curious mind. I am able to utilize CBT/DBT strategies as well as somatic strategies (such as breath work and mindfulness) depending on your goals and needs. But no matter what strategies we decide on together the first step is always to create a safe and trusting space for further exploration.
