Life feels so lonely. Sometimes wherever you look, no one seems to be there even when you are surrounded by people. You feel like it’s time to get help, to see if this pain can go away once and for all. Your decision to pursue counseling can be the most rewarding but intimidating. Stepping out to share your most sacred and deep thoughts takes courage. By taking that first step of growth, you are saying “I cannot keep struggling and doing life alone.” We are meant for relationships, to feel suppo...
Therapy can help with difficult questions: How do you find more fulfilling, life-affirming ways to scratch the itch that drives addictions and obsessions? How do you transform the perspective of being part of a social minority into a vision of personal integrity and identity? How do you come to terms with the realities of aging, including satisfying sexual expression?...
Change can be difficult to handle, but let's do it together. Creating a safe, nonjudgmental free zone is my priority for therapy with clients. My ideal client is motivated for therapy, enthusiastic about the process and receptive to feedback. I enjoy working with young adult African-American females going through transitional phases within their life. Maybe she is finding her place in the world, experiencing challenges that may be unexplained, dealing with emotional/physical abuse by a loved one...
I am currently accepting new clients! Poor boundaries, putting others first, fear of outcomes, and lack of self-trust leads to people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-doubt, hurt feelings, resentment, poor self-esteem, unhealthy relationships, anxiety, depression, etc., ultimately is what leads people to therapy! Most people have not learned how to handle uncomfortable situations in healthy ways that feel comfortable specifically to them. Allow me to guide you with trusting yourself enough to choos...
It takes courage to be open and vulnerable. I cherish the moment a client decides to share their vulnerabilities with me, or when a child invites me to play along.

My overall goal with each session is to provide a safe and accepting environment while empowering clients to become the best versions of themselves. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist. Additionally, I have complete...

People need solutions that work in real life. What I love most about the work I do, is that although I initially see people when they feel lost, challenged or confused and as we work together they find the courage to develop new skills and feel more confident about themselves and their lives. Since 1990, I have been helping children, adolescents and women take control of their lives, so they can change, grow and ultimately, feel good about themselves and their relationships. I work with children...
Life is hard. For many of us, we often become overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loneliness, uncertainty, fear, you name it. To make things worse, we experience trauma and discover that some of our deepest wounds come from our relationships. Of course, we want to protect ourselves from relationships, change, and the unknown. I get that. From working in schools, residential facility, and private practice setting, I've learned that there is also something inside each of us that yearns for healing, lo...
There is a part of me that feels extremely anxious. There is a part of me that gets really sad and down at times. There is a part of part of me that can hardly get out of bed some days.

There is a part of me that thinks about dying and a part of me that wants to live. There is a part of me that …. How many times have we all had t...
