You can be functioning, yet still struggle. I will help you build your communication, relationships and self-esteem so you feel more balanced and confident in yourself. You won't waste your time. You'll be challenged about thoughts and behaviors that haven't been working until now. I know you don't just want another therapist. As long as you invest, you will see results; both long and short term. It's not just the session where you will be doing the work. You'll have tools and skills to practice in between so it's continuous all week.

You'd like a place where you can bring and explore your full self, non-judgmentally, and with care. Maybe there's a part of you that's pleading to be seen, heard, and understood. You'd like some assistance in not only making sense of the world around you, but also discovering what that means for you, on your terms. Perhaps you feel like you have it all figured out, but just need a place that can offer you a chance to just "be". You're drained, fatigued, overwhelmed, and frustrated. You're hopeful, curious, and maybe even excited. At your core you know it's time for you to put yourself first, and to give yourself the gift of therapy.

Unprocessed childhood neglect, abuse, witnessing of traumatic events or recent adult interpersonal violence can weigh on us heavily. To reconnect with our natural potential and remember that our ancestors not only passed their trauma on to us but also their victory, I bring a culturally aware approach that incorporates the intersection of trans-generational trauma, gender, and spirituality to healing the issues that cause us anxiety, pain, discomfort and make it difficult to achieve our goal or feel at peace.

Everyday we tell ourselves stories through our thoughts. These stories stem from our lived experiences, which are inseparable from our cultural identities. When we are faced with stress, trauma, grief, or any other life change, it can cause intense feelings of fear, anger, mistrust, loneliness, and sadness within ourselves and the world around us. Together we will explore tools to change what you can, and intentionally accept the unchangeable in a compassionate space. I believe clients know themselves best. I prioritize collaboration, building trust, safety, and honoring the client's identity throughout the therapy process.

I remember when I was younger and in therapy, my therapist's tactic was to say nothing at the start of session and wait for me to speak first, which annoyed me beyond belief! That’s not what your therapy sessions with me will look like. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process between the two of us. I'm here to support your self-exploration and achievement of positive change by offering a safe, nonjudgemental, and comfortable space during which that journey can take place.

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.

Therapy is an integral part of self-care and overall health. My goal is to help clients uncover their strengths and passion to live more fulfilling lives. Communicating (with self or others) is a common area of focus, particularly relating to transitions across the lifespan (such as adolescence, young adulthood, middle age, etc.) as well as facilitating meaningful communication both for the individual and the relationship (for example, couples, family members, friends, and coworkers).

Life is challenging. Though we all come to therapy for different reasons, each of us is ultimately seeking relief from some form of distress. My approach to therapy is to develop a safe, nonjudgemental and trusting atmosphere where you can freely express your thoughts and feelings. Together, we will collaboratively explore how your lived experience informs and maintains expectations and attitudes - about yourself, others, and the world - and how these may be supporting or thwarting your current efforts to meet your needs in relationships, reach your professional goals, and realize your innermost desires.

Adults and families that partner with me are seeking guidance, compassion, goals that lead (not frustrate), a future plan and a "toolbox" that supports your transformation. You can see the specializations in my intro, and you may know acronyms like CBT, (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT, REBT, ACT and these are foundations for the process of understanding emotions, behavior, patterns, the life you have lived and where you wish to take it. Mind/body work is another arm of gaining confidence and reaching goals. Our work will yield a pattern of new reactions and behaviors and the future you make.

It can be a gratifying experience examining different facets of your life and reflecting on how your role in the world evolves. Figuring out your place and considering your identities can be a challenging and curious endeavor. There might have been times when you were not allowed to express your true self either due to family or societal pressures. With that can come feelings of shame, guilt and fear over how you move through your day to day and how you interact with others. Creating a steady sense of who you are is an ongoing process and therapy is a great place to begin to figure this out and help you navigate your life with ease.

I am particularly interested in disrupting maladaptive family cycles and patterns and understand that breaking free of these cycles — rooted in everything from trauma and systemic oppression to the demands of navigating the modern world and family dynamics — is both deeply inspiring and also feasible. Bearing witness to this transformative change in my client’s lives is one of my greatest honors.

My therapeutic approach cultivates a space that empowers clients' voices by encouraging collaboration and feedback throughout the therapeutic process. Using empathy and compassion allows clients to be themselves and feel understood as they process past experiences and reflect on challenges. To facilitate this process, I use a trauma-informed model along with psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients in their journey.

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 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.
