I specialize in depression, anxiety, eating disorders, relationship and family issues, and adjustment to life transitions.
Therapy can be daunting. You might be hesitant to share private issues with a stranger, or worried that it won't work. If you're having a hard time managing on your own, a substantial body of research shows that therapy can help. The secret to good therapy is that it gives you a chance to form a strong, unique relationship with someone trained to attend to your emotional needs. I can help you see your life from a different perspective, understand and change your role in your significant relationships, and learn strategies to alleviate symptoms such as chronic sadness, worry, moodiness and relationship conflict.

Curiosity, openness, and compassion are at the center of my therapeutic style. I work with people dealing with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, anger, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and grief. I will offer you a supportive space where hidden parts of yourself can surface. We will take a look at any feelings, conflicts, and desires that come up and try to understand how they relate to what you’re going through now. This process can lead to real and lasting change.

To that end, I place the patient-therapist relationship at the center of therapy and aim to foster a space that that promotes curiosity and self-reflection.
To be fully alive means to experience the whole gamut of human emotions, including the uncomfortable ones like anxiety, sadness, anger, and shame. Paradoxically, the more fully we feel our feelings, the less intense and problematic they become over time! My job is to help people develop the skills to better recognize, understand, and tolerate their feelings, and in so doing, expand their capacity for pleasurable and joyful emotions.

Therapy is an integral part of self-care and overall health. My goal is to help clients uncover their strengths and passion to live more fulfilling lives. Communicating (with self or others) is a common area of focus, particularly relating to transitions across the lifespan (such as adolescence, young adulthood, middle age, etc.) as well as facilitating meaningful communication both for the individual and the relationship (for example, couples, family members, friends, and coworkers).

I work with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, and relationship issues as well as those working through issues with identity, sexuality, or career change.
I believe that supporting an individual’s emotional well-being is the primary force for positive growth. In therapy clients can safely explore thoughts and feelings in a way that creates space to see our patterns more clearly. I value the relationship and believe it is the foundation for the working through process to happiness and uncovering a sense of purpose and meaning in life. My understanding of therapy primarily draws from psychoanalytic perspectives but I also incorporate mindfulness and contemporary views on trauma in my work. Individuals might need different approaches and I do my best to meet you where you are at.

If you are committed to improving your relationship with a romantic partner, your child, parents, friends or other family members, I invite you to join me in therapy as we help you strengthen your relationships and love to your fullest capacity.
As Black men a lot of us have been socialized in ways that makes maintaining deep relationships a challenge. Whether the cause is unresolved trauma, communication skills that need improvement, socialized masculinity or anything else, allowing the issue to go unresolved creates tension with others where there should be harmony. A lot of us developed defenses for remaining safe in a world we feel isn’t safe for us. However, we create worlds within our relationships and when we continue to deploy defenses in spaces that are safe for us we prevent ourselves from loving and receiving love to the best of our ability.

Techniques for relaxation, alleviation of fears, coping, decision making, communication, parenting and relationship issues are direct and collaborative.
Anxiety, Depression and relationship issues can range from restricting to debilitating. You may have difficulty making decisions or suffer from fears. Sadness, eating, sleeping or related physical ailments can keep you from being your best. For children, behavior is their indicator. Family or life with your partner may not be what you planned. Or maybe it’s a change in your life, even one that is supposed to be happy, and you’re not. You don’t like the path your life is taking. You don’t have to live that way. There is treatment. And it works.

I work with patients who struggle with issues ranging from depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, post-traumatic stress disorder, medical issues, grief/loss, as well as age/role changes.
The fundamental core of my practice is the belief that each individual has the capacity for wisdom, growth and change with respect to his/her own life. I trust that the potential that is necessary for change is within each person, but this capacity may not always be evident or accessible. As a clinician, I believe that one of the most important components of psychotherapy is having an atmosphere which is supportive, patient, validating and compassionate. I approach my patients with integrity and a commitment to help you create a higher quality of life that resonates with your true self.

Our safe and nonjudgmental relationship will allow you to experiment with new ways of being and harness the power of your full self; if this sounds like you, call or email me to schedule a free 15-minute call!.
You are creative, intelligent, and inquisitive, but feel like you’ve been left to figure life out on your own. You’ve been shamed for your sensitivity and depth of emotion and treated as the odd one out. Early on, you learned to hide parts of yourself to be accepted, loved, and connected. While on some level, this helps you survive, it also leaves you feeling exhausted, depressed, and anxious. You struggle to achieve things that seem to come easily to others, and while you’re trying everything in your power to move forward, you don’t know how to trust yourself or your decisions. You wonder what’s wrong with you?

Are you feeling anxious, sad or do you feel less energy and satisfaction than you used to? Is something in your life not working like a relationship, your career, or a life goal - leaving you feeling frustrated and stuck? I specialize in helping people work through childhood trauma, along with current day issues - workplace stress, anxiety, infertility, divorce and grief. I tend to be an "in the trenches" therapist - highly empathic, listening and responding. I use EMDR therapy and Somatic Experiencing tools when that could be a useful approach to resolve areas in which you feel triggered or anxious.

I intend to meet you exactly where you/the couple is at the start of our therapeutic relationship.
Clients I work with are adults (18+) struggling with Post-Partum-related issues, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Eating Disorders, and Conflicted Relationship/Family Dynamics. I also take special interest in working with Couples. Clients I work with are mentally/emotionally open to gaining perspective, identify and work on their maladaptive patterns/habits, receive support, but also be constructively challenged where indicated. I have found strong alliances with clients who are insight-oriented, and who are seeking to turn their existential questions to practical solutions as they are analyzing themselves and their world.
