You may be doing your best to keep everything together while feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, or experiences that continue to affect you long after they happened. Family and relationship challenges can add another layer, especially when you are trying to balance your own needs with the expectations of the people around you. I work with adults, adolescents, and children experiencing anxiety, depression, family issues, stress management, and trauma. These concerns may also connect with anger, grief and loss, cultural or ethnic experiences, relationship difficulties, women’s issues, identity, or PTSD, and we can make space for those experiences when they are part of what brings you to therapy. As a Black, cisgender woman, I understand the importance of feeling seen and respected in the therapy room. My goal is to create a warm, empowering space where you can feel heard, understand yourself more deeply, and begin making changes that feel meaningful for your life.

Our work will make room for both the challenges you are facing and the person you are beyond those challenges. We’ll explore how anxiety, depression, family concerns, stress, and trauma may be affecting your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and everyday life. I may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you recognize patterns in thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and develop healthier ways of responding, Solution Focused Brief Therapy to build on your existing strengths and identify practical steps toward the changes you want to make, and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you understand and process difficult experiences while developing tools to feel safer and more in control. Our work will be collaborative and empowering, with space to honor your individual experiences, culture, relationships, and goals rather than expecting you to fit into a predetermined version of therapy.

You do not have to arrive knowing exactly what you need or where to begin. During our first few sessions, we will take time to understand what brought you to therapy, what has been weighing on you, and what you would like to feel different. Together, we will create goals that feel realistic and meaningful while building on the strengths you already have. You can expect me to bring warmth, encouragement, and honest support to our work while creating a space where you can talk openly without feeling judged. Progress may look like feeling more confident managing anxiety and stress, developing healthier ways to respond to difficult emotions, strengthening relationships, processing painful experiences, or feeling more connected to yourself and the life you want to build. We will move at a pace that feels right for you and continue adjusting our work as your needs change.
