My approach is borrows from Interpersonal, Cognitive -Behavioral, Guided Imagery, Journaling, Self Psychology, Mindfulness and Gestalt therapies, as well as EMDR.
Are you frustrated with feeling worthless or invisible? Resentful about taking care of others? Need someone to take care of YOU? I specialize in helping women resolve the issues that directly affect them -- body image, feelings, the past, relationships, and children. I believe that the connection we make will help you find solutions that fit for you, become more open and accepting of yourself, and develop a greater capacity for intimacy. You will find a safe and nonjudgmental atmosphere in which you feel validated as you learn to express your emotions and examine your thoughts.

Specializing in mental health and substance use treatment, I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT ), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Mindfulness, & Trauma Recovery.
Alice Walker said, "the most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any." Have you given up your power? Depression and anxiety can make us believe that we don't have any power and that things are hopeless. If you struggle with your daily life, relationships, self-esteem, and adjustment to changes, therapy can be a wonderful tool to help aid in your growth and find your power. Black and brown women have a lot coming at them and it can often make you feel powerless, let's work together to work through those things that may be holding you down.

As a queer, nonbinary therapist, I offer holistic interventions for LGBTQIA2S+ community members and allies of all ages! I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-informed practices, and Expressive Arts Therapy.
Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, or mood swings? Do you have trouble speaking up for yourself, asking for what you need, or setting healthy boundaries? Is the "new normal" not supporting your needs? I'd love to unpack that with you, and support you in building a life that fulfills you! This is your journey, and as your therapist, I can be a helpful guide along the way. Sometimes folks are afraid of "starting over with a new therapist" or "having to rehash the past". It's totally valid to be nervous about opening up to a new person, practically a stranger, but we can start on this new path together!

I'm happy you are here. I work with women and new parents who are struggling with the transition to pregnancy or parenting, and want to feel more enjoyment and confidence in their new identity and relationships. I know it can be intimidating to consider therapy. You may be pregnant or newly postpartum, grappling with the physical, emotional, and environmental changes that come with such a transition. You may be a tired or stressed out parent, trying to “have it all” but always falling behind the endless to-do’s. I understand the difficulties that come with expanding your family. We can work together to reduce your stress.

While focusing on your strengths, we will explore whether EMDR Therapy or CBT , individualized to your needs, is best to address concerns related to traumatic experiences, anxiety, mood disorders, anger, and major life transitions.
You are most likely overwhelmed by which therapist to choose; your symptoms don’t seem to “match” anyone. However, you do know anxiety and/or depression has you feeling off-balance, or unresolved trauma is causing you to feel sad and isolated. Instead of seeing life in color, everything is “black and white”. Where you once were the life of the party, now sleep sounds so much better. You have a desperate need to “feel” again, because right now you just feel numb. I will provide a compassionate and supportive environment for you that is conducive to healing and self-discovery.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists

How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?

Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario (catastrophizing) or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.

When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?

It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.

How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?

To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.

Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?

CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
