Hello and bienvenue! I work with a diverse clientele and specialize in providing social justice oriented psychotherapy to people of color, as well as members of LGBTQIA+ communities. I provide culturally responsive therapy, which focuses on the strengths that you already have. I tend to use an Interpersonal Process theoretical approach (IPT) as well as a cognitive-behavioral theoretical approach (CBT) while also paying attention to your environment and access to social support. I work with you to build a safe space where you can share your experiences without the fear of being judged, and where you can focus on becoming clear about what you want, and how you want to go about making that happen. I believe that it is important to build a strong therapeutic relationship, as well as paying close attention to what is happening for you in-the-moment. I find it helpful to work to understand the different values and beliefs that we bring into the room, and how these worldviews might affect our interactions with each other. Understanding how your thoughts are related to your behaviors can empower and help you to actively account for your reality. You can use this insight to make the changes that will be necessary to live life more healthily.

Life can be hard and feel unmanageable at times, having someone to truly listen and develop a relationship can go a long way towards feeling better. That is why I believe that a therapeutic relationship is such a special relationship. I completed my Master of Arts degree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and I am currently pursuing a Doctorate of Education in Counselor Education and Supervision from National Louis University. I have worked with people who are struggling with substance use, depression, anxiety, life adjustments, chronic illness, and working through sexuality and gender identity concerns. I utilize person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you feel better and strive towards achieving your full potential. When we work together I view my clients as the experts and I work with you to create goals that you want to accomplish. We work as partners on your journey that can include working on personal boundaries, feeling more confident, or reducing problematic behaviors or thoughts. I am here to serve you and am honored to be a part of your recovery and growth!

Are the stresses of your life becoming overwhelming? Do you find yourself struggling with anxiety, low motivation, an inability to engage with others, or an unexpected curveball? Major life changes can lead to feelings of numbness, stress, anxiety, and being overwhelmed. Together we will navigate how to meet your unique needs and develop a healthy and positive sense of self to accomplish your personal goals. Not only will you be able to talk about what's bothering you but it's also important to know what to do about it! I will help you manage your stressors by teaching coping skills and relaxation techniques that are individualized and evidence-based approaches. I have a Doctor of Social Work (DSW) from Rutgers University and a Master of Social Work degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I am an empathic, compassionate, and genuinely invested clinician who wants to empower you to regain a sense of well-being. I have over 20 years of experience working as a social worker. I offer individual counseling for adolescents to adults starting at age 14+. I work with clients struggling with career burnout, self-esteem, anxiety, grief/loss, family conflict, stress, maternal mental health, and mood regulation. I also work with caregivers who are using Maudsley FBT therapy with their adolescents experiencing an eating disorder. ​

My counseling experience includes treating adolescents, adults, and couples. My practice is highly individualized to address common symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I treat my clients as unique individuals with their own distinctive concerns impacting their lives. I greatly honor the trust I am given by them to help them navigate difficult times and unexpected life changes. I believe the decision to start the journey towards healing and reconciliation demonstrates a great deal of courage and resolve. Together we can discern a path towards a more balanced and joyful life. Emotional/spiritual growth and symptom reduction are the primary focus of practice. I accomplish this by helping clients understand how their internal life is interacting with outside stressors causing discomfort and impeding growth. I also endeavor to help clients recognize destructive patterns in personal relationships that may be keeping them from further healing. In addition to private practice experience, I also have pastoral/spiritual counseling experience.

Is managing stress, anxiety, or trauma overwhelming and impacting your quality of life? Do you feel physically and emotionally drained and unable to manage daily tasks? You deserve to feel happy, capable, and whole again! I can help you identify your inner strengths to overcome any emotional and mental health challenges you are experiencing. I have over 12 years of experience providing services to clients with various mental health challenges. I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for a range of individuals. This includes those in late adolescence and adulthood who may be dealing with anxiety, mood, and trauma-related disorders/symptoms as well as individuals facing life stressors and transitions. I work to help my clients navigate these difficulties, identify unique needs, and build skills to unlock their inner and inherent capacity for healing and growth. My approach to therapy varies based on the individual needs of each client I work with. I believe in utilizing a client-centered approach and research-backed treatments that are most effective for your struggles. This approach helps me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality and allows us to work together to chart a path forward.

Recognizing that things need to change is a good thing. It's usually the first step toward making improvements in our lives. I'm here to help you make things more manageable and to help you increase you satisfaction in life. Reaching out for help might be difficult and somewhat scary but it doesn’t have to be. My style of counseling is laid back, non-judgmental and accepting. Once we get started the initial anxiety of getting setup will ease and we can start working toward the goals that you have in mind or that I can help you find.
