Couples and families who have built full, successful lives but keep having the same arguments, missing each other’s meaning, or wondering how home became the place where everyone feels most misunderstood.

TRAINING + PREPARATION

I’m trained and licensed as a marriage and family therapist, with additional training in Gottman Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy with African-American couples, and advanced sex therapy.

EXPERIENCE

I work with couples, families, and other relationships navigating repeated conflict, communication breakdowns, disconnection, attachment concerns, parent-and-adult-child conflict, and changing family roles. I help people understand what is happening between them instead of deciding that one person is “the problem.”

WHY THIS WORK MATTERS TO ME

Our closest relationships shape what we believe about love, safety, and ourselves. I love helping people uncover the pattern beneath the argument, repair what has been hurt, and find their way back to communication, connection, and care.

Gifted and neurodivergent girls, women, and BIPOC folks who look capable on the outside but are exhausted by masking, overthinking, perfectionism, and the pressure to prove they are not “too much” or “not enough.”

TRAINING + PREPARATION

I’m an ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP) and completed four months of focused training in the diagnostic assessment of ADHD and autism. My preparation also includes multicultural therapy, liberation-focused healing, and Dr. Stephen Kniffley’s Racial Trauma Therapy Model.

EXPERIENCE

My clinical work includes ADHD, autism and neurodivergence, giftedness, anxiety, perfectionism, identity development, and racial trauma. I understand how intelligence, achievement, masking, and cultural expectations can hide overwhelming feelings below the surface (and why girls, women, and BIPOC clients are so often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or identified as neurodivrgent later in life).

WHY THIS WORK MATTERS TO ME

I care deeply about creating space for people who have been called (even by themselves) lazy, difficult, overly sensitive, or dramatic. You deserve support that helps you understand how your mind works, honor what you need, and build a life that requires less performing and more enjoyment.

People who learned to survive by being strong, useful, successful, or in control and are ready to stop living like the next hard thing is always just around the corner.

THERAPIST FOR QUALIFICATIONS 3

TRAINING + PREPARATION

I’m a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with training in EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy, racial trauma treatment, grief and loss, and Trust-Based Relational Intervention.

EXPERIENCE

I work with people whose trauma may show up as anxiety, perfectionism, overachievement, caretaking, relationship difficulties, emotional disconnection, or always needing to stay in control. My approach combines evidence-based trauma treatment with cultural awareness, creativity, honesty, and care.

WHY THIS WORK MATTERS TO ME

I’m passionate about helping people who have become very good at surviving discover what else may be possible. That can mean processing painful experiences, breaking generational cycles, rebuilding trust in yourself and others, and making room for a life that feels safer, fuller, and more connected.
