When you're going through seasons of difficulty, day to day life stressors or just need somebody to talk to and process with; that search can seem so difficult! You want to unpack with someone who you can trust. You want to unpack with someone who won't judge, someone who truly cares about what you're saying and how you feel. You want a therapist that's relatable and will talk back when needed or just hear you in other times. We will work together to set goals and get you to what you feel you need. Welcome to a fresh start! Let's unpack!
As a culturally competent and community involved therapist, I specialize in couples & family therapy and ADHD. I love to facilitate group work, trauma, substance abuse, concerns specific to urban areas and diverse populations. I won't just sit and nod! I go there with you and if you need me to, I'll take you there.
Therapy is not a last resort, but a vital element in living a life of satisfaction and peace. Struggling in silence does not have to be an option when there are skilled people in place just for you. Reach out and if we don't respond, reach back. Don't give up on yourself because we won't give up on you.
