My communication style may be described as lax, as I feel this allows for the client to be comfortable. I pride myself in being allied with LGBTQIA2 and identify as a Black woman.

My tone is warm but professional. Laughter or tears are no surprise in session. I won't waste your time chatting about myself, but I believe you will develop a level of comfort in the session to allow you to address whatever issues are your priority.

I have a broad range of experiences in working with the problems of career-oriented individuals and parents that result from relationship issues, too much responsibility, stress at home and work, personal and social isolation, loss of motivation or debilitating fears. I have worked with many people and families who are affected by anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavior challenges at school, defiance and anger, divorce or trauma. I've worked with children, teens and young adults with emotional disturbances, behavior problems, self-harm, or personality development issues, and helped couples and parents sort through relationship challenges. I also have experience in the treatment of alcohol and drug abuse and addiction in both outpatient and inpatient settings. There are no rules as to how you must or should respond to stressors: we will find positive and non-stressful alternatives. I use a non-judgmental approach to both listen, accept and validate your experiences in order to urgency address and resolve your issues. We will enhance your autonomy so you feel relief, quickly. I use a broad spectrum evidence-based therapies, particularly mindfulness-based approaches that relieve stress and augment therapy. I will help accomplish the peaceful and fulfilling life that you envision.

Do you continue to struggle with anxiety, mood, or self-defeating behaviors that get in the way of feeling good about yourself and sabotaging your potential? You are not alone. Many people silently suffer from addictive eating and alcohol overconsumption, anger, social anxiety, difficulties with focus, decision-making, and relationship problems. There is hope! You can break these frustrating and painful cycles of repetition, even if you have tried to change for many years. Quality skills-based counseling and coaching can help. I'm a collaborative, skills-based counselor. I work with adult clients to increase their awareness, build the skills and resources they need to be more resilient and stress-hardy, and better manage themselves, the issues at hand, their relationships, and problems more effectively. Ultimately, my goal is to help you become more empowered with a sense of mastery and personal control - whether at home or on-the-job-changing behaviors and self-limiting beliefs that negatively impact your mental health and well-being and get in the way of reaching your potential. So, whether you're trying to recover from a health, mental health, personal or professional setback or trying to change a problematic life-long behavior once and for all, improvement is possible with your willingness and commitment. We'll work together in my convenient and confidential virtual office to get you moving in a positive direction - Living your best life. Resilience, the ultimate goal is to better trust yourself and your skills when responding to discomfort, stress and life demands - To trust ourselves and feel competent is incredibly empowering! We are designed, by nature, to learn, grow and make our best effort to reach our individual potential – You deserve that, too."

I provide a client-centric approach that leans into compassion so you can feel safe and secure. Through this space, we can get curious and explore areas where you feel stuck or wounded. From here, we can help you shift toward greater health and wellness. At its core, my work focuses on your relationships, including how they impact you and how you impact them. This helps us both widen our understanding and pinpoint areas of concern.

It's time now to genuinely feel and function better. In order to do that, it's essential to pay close attention to your internal responses to the difficulties and patterns that have been cropping up in your closest relationships, your work, and with respect to your own self-concept, and to do so with someone who can help you see things differently and perhaps more accurately. Together, we will create an open, accepting, safe space, where you also will feel helpfully and persistently challenged to know yourself much better from the inside out, and as quickly as possible.

Being part of your personal journey is such a privilege. There is nothing more satisfying than watching clients reclaim their lives and truly transform. Therapy and peak performance psychology is about empowerment and accessing your inner potential. It’s about realizing your strengths and applying those inner resources to overcome what has been holding you back. It’s about challenging self-limiting beliefs and gaining insight into the obstacles that are getting in your way, learning how to remove them and applying that insight to make the changes necessary to achieve your goals. I work differently with every client offering a tailored approach to your unique needs and goals. I don’t do “one size fits all” or overly generalized approaches. My goal is not to merely band-aid a symptom or maintain the status quo because we can accomplish so much more than that. Our focus will be on resolving your concerns at the core so that you can truly THRIVE with a sense of freedom and power. I have a passion for the mind body connection, enhancing peak performance and psychophysiological approaches to treatment. I apply a whole person (360 degree) perspective that promotes healing for both the mind and body as well as increased performance and optimal functioning. I would describe my style as an insight-oriented approach that is warm, genuine, laid back and thought-provoking. I value authenticity, keeping it real, and a good sense of humor. My clients tell me I’m very personable, compassionate and accepting, which puts them immediately at ease. Sessions with me are casual, comfortable and feel conversational in nature. I work best with clients who are insightful, motivated to make a change, and want to work hard to achieve their goals.

I believe that my mission in life is to help others by providing the space in which they can share their struggles and concerns without judgment. Life is difficult, and more than anything else, I think we all crave to be listened to. I enjoy listening, and I like to help others to listen, too. By listening carefully we can create deep connection with others. Strong connection helps make life a bit easier and more enjoyable. Being a therapist has been a dream of mine ever since I was in middle school and my brother brought his introduction to psychology textbook home from college! I love to understand why we all do the things we do, and I enjoy helping others to understand themselves and those around them better, too.

When you feel stressed out, overwhelmed or anxious, it can stop you from being spontaneous, from trying new things, or enjoying life.
