Life can be hard sometimes, but you don’t have to do it all alone. I am here to help you cope with challenges life may throw your way.

You deserve and need to be listened to, and I will be there to do it in an understanding, non-judgmental way.

There are basic truths of human psychology that most people understand intuitively. We do not fully know ourselves; the things we do not know can cause suffering. There is a benefit to self-awareness. I will support you as you develop your innate capacity to be with your own life, just as it is, and assist as you develop more effective strategies for living joyfully and with compassion for yourself as well as others. As we bring together your sense of yourself in past, present and future states, feelings of organization and coherence develop. Choice is restored.

Humans are born to grow. It is the essence of living. However, limiting beliefs block us from knowing our true capacity. Not just that, it hinders us from attaining our life’s purpose. Having a good understanding of self is crucial in developing a healthy self concept. We’ll have a safe and caring one-on-one session where you can talk to me like you’re talking to yourself. This can be about you, your challenges, your career, and anything that bothers you that you know you need help with. I will then help you to the bottom of it and find a solution. I will help you to get out of your way!

Your mental and emotional health are crucial components of your well-being. You want to live a life of peace, fulfillment, and joy, but something is getting in the way.

If you are experiencing grief, constant worry and anxiety, a loss of hope, harmful behavior or thoughts, conflict in your relationships, work or school stress, or struggling to find meaning or purpose in your life, it may be time for you to seek help. I accept adolescents (11+) and adults.

Do you or your child struggle to get out of bed. You feel totally disconnected from your loved ones. You are constantly living in a world where you are anxious about every next move. All you want is to have some peace of mind in your day-to-day life and relationships. You are looking to feel secure in day-to-day life or your romantic relationship while strengthing your connection and being fully present. You want to get out of bed feeling content about life and what the day has to offer. You want to look forward to life and feel connected to a purpose.

I have been a therapist for over 35 years and believe that both individuals and couples can heal from dysfunctional relationships. "Know thyself" is a way in which to learn to cope with stressors that come your way. Understanding the baggage you carry, (we all have baggage), identifying our knee jerk reactions to other people, (rage, anger, fear, withdrawal) allows us to stop REACTING and teaches us to say how we feel in a healthy way. Addictions are our number one killer, and being fearful of expressing how you feel creates co-dependent relationships where much energy is focused on pleasing.

You’ve been through so much in your life, and are often seen as the strong one. You are expected to just “figure it out” while you hold the weight of relationships, family, finances, and multiple other stressors. It can seem like everyone wants something from you but few (if any) want to give back. Let's create a space for you to heal. It is all too common for individuals raised in the black community to be “strong”, and not talk about their feelings. The phrase “turn the other cheek” or the idea that it can just be prayed away are ways to cope, but what about the times you don’t feel or want to be strong?What about the moments when

You've found yourself achieving external success with ease, but when it comes to your relationships, you can't apply the same principles that made your business successful. And that has you feeling stuck. You are a big-vision person and have a lot of goals for yourself, and you are always thinking about the next evolution of yourself in this world and what will be next. You know that when your body isn't working right, neither will your mind. But no amount of exercise has stopped you from overthinking relationships, and you struggle to get out of your head and into the world around you.

I want to start by congratulating you on your courage in taking this major step towards self-improvement. At times, life can be difficult, and we may not always have the skills to handle the challenges presented to us in a healthy manner. To be able to reach out for help and support during these difficult times is a sign of strength and self-awareness.

Since 2006, my experience has been growing in guiding and supporting folks in overcoming the psychological barriers of severe mental health concerns and situational or generalized concerns. I learn what the individual is seeking to gain and create a therapeutic approach unique to that individual. I'm trained in multiple modalities and typically utilize a combined approach.

Seems there's always another way to tone and nourish our bodies. Yet our minds - well, they don't often get the same dedicated attention. Our thoughts swirl. Our emotions wind into mash-ups of who-knows-what. And for anyone's been stuck in a cave, today's world offers an endless stream of fuel for anxiety and panic du jour. It's hard to keep up. So how do we sooth the angst, reset the stress level, and tone our minds so that even amid an unpredictable, stress-inducing world, we are steadier, calmer, more centered, and more resilient? And yes actually, we can be and feel ok even when it feels like everything around us is a bit crazy.

Sometimes when life brings challenges and unwelcome stress, we may need a little extra support and clarity. At times we may feel confused, alone, or not know which direction our life is heading. Life is full of complications in which we all can benefit from working with a compassionate, qualified, and objective professional. My first and foremost goal is to create an environment of empathy and caring where together we build upon trust and collaboration. As your therapist, I can help you cope with stress, transform your relationships, and improve your overall quality of life.

Each of us is born with our special strengths and gifts to offer. Sometimes circumstances of life distance us from that . The goal of therapy is help one reconnect with that beautiful strength within.
