It’s usually not easy telling a complete stranger your hidden fears and secrets. However, being honest and vulnerable as you process emotions is the doorway to freedom. I've been in the receiving side of therapy before so I know what it's like to take this first step. As a Christian therapist, I want to offer to my clients the hope of an abundant life; regardless of your circumstances. These include for you to feel heard, have hope, receive healing skills, empathy and understanding. This helps clients work through their difficulties and struggles; while reminding them of and building on their strengths and current resources.

We all need help dealing with life at times. Stress from relationships, pain from the past, struggling with addictions, or wrestling with other tough issues can drain us and leave us feeling overwhelmed. I have spent the last 25+ years helping my clients face and overcome the tough issues in their lives with professional, faith-based counseling.

Problems in love and work, as well as symptoms of depression and anxiety, often lead people to seek therapy. Psychotherapy allows for the safe exploration of painful problems and resolution of conflicts underlying them. As trust develops, individuals explore their inner feelings related to anger, intimacy, and spirituality. Before treatment, these feelings are frequently blocked and unavailable in useful ways. Psychotherapy helps individuals view themselves in new ways. Psychotherapy can be an emotional education resulting in lasting changes. Therapy frequently ends increased personal freedom to make wise choices for oneself in the context of one's community.

I lead groups for transgender youth and for parents of transgender people.

I utilize evidenced-based treatments that include cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness and interpersonal strategies to help each individual better manage their symptoms.

Well, hello beautiful people! I aim to help black women who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and/or spirituality. From the time we are born, we are exposed to many unpleasant and even unexplainable circumstances that leave us desperately looking for answers. Unfortunately, as black women the “lack” can result in us dealing with our reality in a number of devastating ways. There is an amount of deception in MANY forms in our society that is cultivated and we fall victim to; some for a short period, and some all of our lives.

Reaching out for help when you need it can be hard. There are times when life's challenges and transitions can be overwhelming and all consuming. Finding a mental health professional, you can trust, may seem a bit daunting but help is available.

We change our behavior when the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of changing. Consequences give us the pain that motivates us to change. -H. Cloud. Change is always hard but often necessary and attainable with the appropriate guidance and tools. I enjoy working with a wide range of issues in adolescents, adults, and couples, and I have extensive experiences with these populations. I work best with clients who are self-motivated and seek therapy on their own so they are ready to apply themselves outside of therapy.

My clients are adults of all ages working through a wide range of issues, such as depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, spiritual disconnection, relationship difficulties, and more. I have a particular interest and additional experience with the LGBTQ population, young adults working to establish their identities, those working through painful grief journeys, and those who are exploring their faith or spirituality. My goal is always to create a space free from judgment where you can explore who you are, who you want to be, and how you become that person!
