About My Clients
My clients are individuals who are searching for greater connection, more meaningfulness, authenticity and joy in their lives. They are survivors, people who may or may not have diagnoses and people who are interested in creating a life narrative that is more than the worst moments, memories and times of their lives. They want to move from surviving to thriving and they are open to challenging unhelpful thoughts, reconsidering patterns and trying on new ways of seeing and being in the world.
My Background and Approach
I tell clients all of the time that it is always about you and never about you. We are not responsible for everything that happens to us AND we are responsible for making meaning from our lives. How we make that meaning depends on how we view the world. Many life events are neutral, others are not, but their impact on us can make the difference between wallowing in tragedy and recognizing opportunity. I believe in healing as opportunity. I have been a practicing psychologist for many years. I care about your well-being and believe that together we can work towards a more meaningful life and a more authentic you. My approach integrates varied perspectives drawing on interpersonal techniques, and evidence-based practices. I am also trained specifically in trauma focused interventions: CPT, CBT, PE, writing exposure, DBT and others. I work from a culturally responsive perspective and appreciate the diversity of sexual and gender expressions. I strive to meet everyone where they are.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe our choices can change our lives. As individuals and as organizations, we can use where we have been and where we are to direct where we are going. I work with people who are tired of living out the same narrative over and over. People who would choose to be defined, not by their worst moments, but by the best versions of themselves. As a Black psychologist who writes, talks and practices from a culturally responsive lens, I approach my clients with a consideration of their context, their intersecting identities and their individual treatment goals. Together, we create a treatment plan that makes sense, with actionable steps so you can experience actual transformation.
