About My Clients
Are you feeling overwhelmed by life? Do you feel lost and/or alone? Do the daily struggles you face keep you from enjoying life as you'd like to? Are your relationships bringing you more distress than joy? Does it ever feel like everyone else has their life together and you can just never get it right? If you answered yes to any of these, I have a message for you. You aren't alone. You aren't broken. You don't need to be "fixed". You have strength within you and together we will uncover it.
My Background and Approach
My approach is collaborative and integrative as it is tailored you you and your unique healing journey. I was trained systemically/relationally as a Marriage and Family Therapist. Too often, therapy looks to place blame or seek a singular cause for the issues are brought up in the therapy room. This can result in people blaming others or even themselves for their distress. I however, will work with you to uncover patterns of behaviors/emotions/thoughts that play out between you and others or between you and yourself. No facet of life is irrelevant, as it is our relationships with family, friends, partners, schools, jobs, neighborhoods, society that influence how we not only become who we are, but how we relate to that person we become. It is these recurring patterns of relating to others/ourselves that facilitate the issues that often bring people into therapy. Together we will uncover, explore, and adapt the patterns that bring you distress into ones that bring you joy and healing.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
You are enough. You are precious. You matter. No matter what "isms" family, friends, society tries to place on you, you are worthy of life, love, and joy. As a black, lesbian woman, I know I have experienced doubts about my indentity and value due to not only the messages from the media and society at large, but also from some of those close to me in my family and friend groups. Other's opinions of what you "should" or "shouldn't" be can be deafening and drown out the voice of that core Self that knows it's worth and value. In case you also have/currently experience this, I want to team up with that core Self and remind you that you deserve to be your authentic self. You matter.
