My specialty is working with Black, brown and multi-ethnic, non-monogamous and QTGNC/questioning folks experiencing depression, anxiety/panic, complex trauma, and relationship or social transitions. In addition, I am experienced serving folks with a range of identities struggling with body image, disordered eating, substance misuse, self-harm, and chronic illness, including chronic pain and social stigma. I work particularly well with folks looking to decolonize their minds, relationships and lives, and generate new values-based, life-affirming constructs for themselves.

You may have begun to feel overwhelmed,annoyed, stressed, lonely and even depressed.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship can serve as a healing space. I prioritize building person-centered partnerships that allow all individuals to feel safe throughout their clinical experience. I am very invested in cultivating meaningful relationships centered around trust, openness, and honesty. I find in my practice that this allows for each individual child, teenager, or adult I work with to feel grounded in their own narrative as well as feel self-empowered to utilize the tools they gain throughout our work together.

Starting therapy is brave. I aim to foster a relationship that is compassionate, free of judgment, and a place where you can express your truest thoughts and feelings. I believe that you are the expert on your own life and the therapeutic space should be one that centers and honors your resiliency and strengths. Treatment is fluid and individualized uniquely for you. As such, I consider our work to be a co-created process and I endeavor to create a space where all expressions of selfhood and identity can be safely expressed.

My clients navigate issues varying from depression, anxiety, grief, stress, life transitions, challenges working in activist spaces, creative industries, race-related and identity-related issues.

Whether you find yourself in a place of emotional distress, stuckness, or relationship confusion, I'm here to compassionately witness your journey and offer up a mirror to you and your experiences. I also specialize in highly sensitive people (HSPs). Being highly sensitive is not a disorder, but a form of sensory processing sensitivity - and could also come with skills and gifts to be honed. However, HSPs in particular can sometimes find relationships, work, and other areas of life to be confusing and disorienting experiences.

I believe that therapy is a space for us to tackle life’s difficulties as well as celebrate life, find joy, and build self-compassion. I provide empathic, nonjudgmental psychotherapy, focused on deepening a sense of self-awareness, gaining insight into your emotional experiences, and empowering you to live a more fulfilling life. My therapeutic approach is rooted in relational and attachment-based theories. I frequently use humanistic, and behavioral interventions tailored to meet the needs of the individual or couple I am working with. I strive to create authentic, and collaborative relationships with everyone I work with.

Because I was fortunate enough to experience the benefits of therapy on a personal level, I have dedicated my career to providing the same support and guidance to others. Therapy provided me with a safe and judgement free outlet, and I am happy to offer the same safe space to my patients. I see therapy as a highly collaborative experience between patient and clinician and I am a firm believer that the patient is as much a guide in a session as the clinician. It is important to me that my patients feel they have the power to direct the session while still exploring and working through the issues that connected them to therapy.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online 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 US, 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 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.
