Counseling can seem ‘scary’ at first, as it allows you to share the inmost parts of yourself that others may not see. It takes a leap of faith, especially if you have existed within a support system or culture that hasn't always acknowledged healthy coping & self-care. As a Black woman, I also recognize the lack of representation BIPOC often see as it relates to mental wellness…past & present. I hope to serve as a small vessel to bridge that gap, and offer a channel for self-care, self-love, exploration, & healing.

Do you struggle with feeling stuck? Are you unable to move forward, yet feel uncomfortable standing still? This can be painful, and it is common to experience negative self-talk and self-doubt in these instances. These may be symptoms of your current circumstances, or perhaps these feelings are shaped by previous lived experiences. No matter the cause, we can all use support.

I would love to be part of reshaping your story into one that is worthy of you. I am a licensed mental health counselor with experience: treating depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and trauma. I am aware of the emotional distress related to systematic oppression often inflicted on people of color and marginalized groups: I address these experiences with compassion and sensitivity in session.

I admire you for your courage and vulnerability in seeking counseling services. Your pain matters, you deserve to be heard, and you are worthy of the help you receive. You are more than the worst thing that has ever happened to you. Trying to heal from your worst experiences in life may leave you questioning yourself, your reality, and your feelings. Trauma can leave us with outdated beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. I am here to help you challenge and replace those beliefs in a safe, supportive environment where you are seen and heard.

Childhood and adolescence can be an exciting time of life, but also comes with unique challenges. As parents we want to do what is best for our children, but knowing what that is can be hard at times. I would be honored to help you and your family through some of the difficult parts of your journey. Young children do not communicate the same way adults do, which can be frustrating as we have spent many years honing our communication skills. When children struggle to verbally express themselves, we sometimes see unwanted behavior.

Are you having a hard time relating to your partner? Are you communicating but it seems as if nothing is changing? Do you desire better communication or want to enhance intimacy? Are you stressed about things continually happening in your life? Does dealing with things seem to be just too hard to do? Would you like to begin to feel as if you have some sense of control again? I understand that dealing with various life events, relationships, traumas, and even one’s own self can be overwhelming. These (seemingly minor) events can contribute to emotional issues that affect one’s health and general well-being. *New clients-June 2021

Worry, sadness, and uncertainty are natural responses to feeling you can't control parts of your life. Often regaining control feels like it requires giving up something else, whether it is time with family and friends, your passions, or last night's sleep. While dark humor, caffeine, and willpower may get you far, you shouldn’t have to give up the best parts of your life to just survive. No matter how you got here, you are the expert on yourself. My responsibility is to create a supportive and attentive space where you can grow and gain perspective.

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.
