As a mom of three who also works full time, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to balance the many demands of life while trying to prioritize your own well-being. Too often, mental health ends up taking a back seat to everything else. But caring for your mind is just as important as caring for your family, work, and relationships—and you don’t have to do it alone.

Hello! I have been a counselor for 18 years. I love meeting and working with people of all communities. This often includes clients focusing on mood disorders, self-esteem and anxiety. I also love working with people who are LGBTQIA2s and have provided multiple referral letters for clients seeking gender-affirming procedures. I have a casual approach and use a lot of humor in sessions, but don't let that fool you.

"My mission in life is not to merely survive, but to thrive and do so with some passion, compassion, some humor, and some style." -Maya Angelou As black women we are usually the last on our list- the order is usually kids, partners, parents, family, jobs, friends... then you. All of this and we're barely making it. Why continue to struggle and merely survive, when you can thrive. Depression doesn't always look like tears and pity parties. It can look like overwhelm, anger, unstable emotions, isolation, and anxiety too! Sound like anyone you know? Is it you girl?

I enjoy working with emerging and young adults seeking a healthier relationship with food, their bodies, and their minds.

I welcome clients from all backgrounds and am especially passionate about working with those who feel misrepresented in the dominant narrative of eating disorders and recovery, whether due to body size, identity, or other factors.

I work with driven, high-functioning adults who look composed on the outside but feel restless, disconnected, or emotionally numb inside. Many of my clients carry a lot of responsibility, hold themselves to high internal standards, or feel most valued for what they provide rather than who they are. If you’ve built a life around competence but still feel unseen, anxious, or strangely empty, therapy here focuses on slowing down, telling the truth, and understanding the deeper patterns that keep you managing instead of feeling.

Seeking support can feel like staring up the face of a mountain. I respect the delicate nature of inner work and consider it an earned privilege to be invited into spaces where healing and growth can happen. Everyone is welcome. Maybe you're hoping to discover new and more authentic parts of yourself and long to connect more fully. Maybe you are exploring your unique sexual values/identity. Maybe you're not sure where to start, but know that something is shifting.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
