Are you a Black women ready to start your healing to become the best version of yourself? As a Black woman, do you feel like you have to be a superhuman?

Imagine walking through a dense forest, the path is unclear, shrubs scratch at your feet and the sound of your heartbeat is loud in your ears. Your head replays dark images of memories of a hard phase of life where you experience negative beliefs and distressful emotions. In this moment of uncertainty and fear you wake up and realize you were having a nightmare. This leads to internal confusion because the bucket of emotions feels true. Are you ready to live without these challenges? I can help you… I have successfully treated clients with positive outcomes using Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS) therapy.

You’re exhausted by trying to fit into everyone’s expectations of you. What if you could feel more connected to your true self? You may be fed up with pretzeling yourself into the narrow boxes of values that are not your own, feeling disconnected from your true self or isolated from those around you. You might not even remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel peaceful and grounded. You’re ready to feel more connected and satisfied in your relationships. Most of all, you’re ready to love yourself and face your future with passion and purpose.

Building a trusting, compassionate relationship is my foremost priority in therapy. I help clients develop strengths, assertiveness, and resiliency to cope with life's challenges while reorienting to more adaptive thoughts + feelings, improving relationships and increasing attunement. I believe that our brains are naturally adaptive and a clear understanding of how your mind works can empower healthy change. That’s why I use a combination of attachment theory, trauma-informed mindfulness, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing), and Gottman Institute's research-based approach to therapy.

We are all complex individuals shaped by our environments and a collection of pasts before us that we may not always understand. While I have worked with various focal populations on a wide variety of issues, the most common presenting needs are related to anxiety, depression, internal blocks, transitioning gender identities, coming out, recovering from various forms of trauma, and life transitions. I am passionate about providing trauma informed care in a world that is heavily dosed with unhelpful memes, misguided self help books, and armchair philosophy. I am here to help dare you to be yourself through radical self acceptance.

I'm passionate about empowering my clients to find their own strength and confidence to navigate challenges in their lives.

Therapy takes effort on your part, and willingness to be open and put in some "heart" work!

Finding the right fit with a therapist is a vital. I specialize in helping people heal from hard and traumatic life events. I am a good fit for people that have experienced abuse, family of origin disruptions or relational trauma. I’m passionate about working with people having difficulty moving through distress from past experiences, trusting others, and building close attachments. I help people that want to connect but find it hard and most importantly clients that are ready to dig deep and work toward meaningful healing. I also have a particular passion and affinity for working with other ADHD and neurodivergent folks like myself

Do you find yourself abandoning your needs for others’ comfort⁠, staying in painfully imbalanced relationships, and overextending to the point of exhaustion?

Are you ready to start prioritizing yourself & set boundaries without the guilt, so you can start having thriving relationships, while getting to know yourself in a deeper way? If so, welcome!

Let's face it. You've tried therapy before. It wasn't for you, and truly people don't understand you anyway. What would happen if you tried it one more time? Maybe you're wondering what life would look like if you started learning coping skills and began healing. Life can be challenging, and you don't have to venture through it alone. We can navigate through this together. As your therapist, I commit to supporting you on this adventure and beyond!

I am very gifted in making authentic connections with any population I work with. I have worked with a diverse group of clientele such as work with foster children suffering from mental health issues. Including bipolar, reactive attachment, anxiety and depression. I also have an extensive history working with adults who suffer from PTSD, complex childhood trauma, and severe anxiety and depression. Furthermore, I love working with the LGBTQ community in addressing issues sensitive to their needs such as increasing gender identity issues, body dysmorphia, and eating disorders.

You have many choices when it comes to picking a counselor/therapist, but what is the most important thing to consider when choosing? Does the person appear to be kind? Do they have the qualifications to serve you? Does he/she make you feel comfortable and ease the anxiety you might be feeling regarding sharing such personal information so quickly? How does the office environment feel (telehealth or in the office)? More importantly, how quickly do you feel your exact problem is being addressed?

You're a giver - but don't know how to receive. And you're very self-sufficient and independent because you can't trust or rely on anyone. On the surface you seem like you're doing well - you have a job, a relationship, you go on trips and so on. But underneath it all, you struggle with an inner critic that belittle you constantly. You struggle with the pressure to be "perfect" and "good" and never feel like you're good enough. Your relationships actually don't feel very fulfilling because you don't feel like you're being your true self in it. At the end of the day, you feel lonely and you chalk it up to "well this is how life is."

Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow.I specialize in treating adults, young adults, adolescents 14-19, and families.

Are you struggling with setting boundaries, communicating needs, and naming emotions, causing daily anxiety? Feel frustrated and overwhelmed with no visible change? Through inner child work, you can learn about unconscious patterns that have been passed down to you. Together, we can explore your story to identify outdated patterns, enabling the creation of a more fulfilling life tailored to your present self, rather than old, protective instincts. Ignoring your needs may deepen wounds, hindering enjoyment of life and current relationships. Break free from these patterns for a more enriching and authentic existence.
