I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Ph.D. in Sociology, bridging clinical practice and research. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating depression, life transitions, racial/ethnic identity and relational challenges, and burnout, with a focus on college students, young adults, Black women, and other people of color. Using a relational approach to therapy, I strive to create a space where you feel safe and empowered to embrace your authentic self. My goal is to help you move through your experiences with clarity and a deeper connection to who you truly are.

You may have held doubts about talk therapy and perhaps are thinking therapy may not work at all for what you are dealing with. Psychotherapy like all science is continually changing. Both new and long held approaches to well-being are vast. I invite you to consider Brainspotting before you rule out therapy entirely. My role as a Brainspotting clinician is to offer you support, as you discover your innate capacity for positive self change. I specialize in trauma focused therapy, specializing in treating anxiety disorders. I focus on various forms of addiction, OCD, behavioral issues, depression, bi-polar and mood disorders.

I am a masters level trained Brainspotting clinician and a U.S. Army veteran. I believe in facilitating change in a supportive environment, following and observing your amazing capacity to heal from trauma in your therapeutic work. I work with veterans, first-responders, and other populations struggling with unresolved trauma and anxiety disorders.

Your unique circumstances are to be understood, honored respected and explored in a judgement free, supportive and caring environment. The issues that you bring into therapy remain entirely up to you. I will listen to your wants and needs; joining you on the journey towards your desired sense of well-being.

My therapy approach focuses on building positive communication and fostering meaningful client relationships. I prioritize establishing healthy coping strategies and developing lasting interpersonal change within a culturally sensitive framework. I work collaboratively with my clients through compassionate and respectful guidance to achieve their personalized goals.

I provide compassionate, strengths-based therapy to support individuals navigating life’s most difficult seasons, including trauma, major life transitions, and grief. My approach centers on helping clients feel seen, supported, and empowered as they work through emotional challenges and move toward healing and resilience.

I specialize in grief and loss, adjustment to terminal illness, and anxiety. Using process-oriented and compassion-focused counseling techniques, I help clients explore their experiences at a deeper level while developing practical tools for emotional balance and self-understanding. I am also trained in Brainspotting, an evidence-based trauma therapy that supports clients in processing deep emotional pain and unresolved trauma in a safe and supportive environment.

My goal is to create a therapeutic space where clients feel understood, respected, and encouraged to grow at their own pace.

I'm a non-boring therapist who recognizes life can be a hot mess, wants to understand YOU, & weaves humor into therapy! I specialize in relationship issues & help get you feeling good about yourself & your relationships. I've worked with clients in domestic violence and unhealthy relationships for years, so know you don't have to carry that stress, anxiety, self-doubt - you deserve awesome relationships that bring security, joy & excitement.

I’m a therapist who believes you can be both self-aware and completely overwhelmed sometimes. I bring a mix of clinical experience, warmth, humor, and honesty into the room. My background is rooted in trauma work, crisis intervention, forensic mental health, and helping people navigate anxiety, burnout, complicated relationships, identity shifts, and the occasional 2 a.m. existential spiral.

My style is very human. I’m not the therapist who silently nods for 60 minutes while you dissociate into the ceiling. I’ll challenge you when needed, validate you when it matters, help you connect patterns, and occasionally laugh with you along the way because healing can be deep, messy, and still have room for humor.

I tend to integrate insight-oriented work, attachment dynamics, inner child healing, motivational interviewing, and practical coping strategies. A lot of our work is understanding the “why” behind your patterns while also helping you function better in your everyday life.
