Hello and welcome to my practice. I specialize in treating young adults who’ve experienced anxiety, trauma, and OCD. I’m level 1 trained in IFS and have extensive training in depth psychology.

Whether you're coming to therapy individually, as a couple, or as a family, my goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel understood, challenged in healthy ways, and empowered to move toward lasting growth.

Mental Health Counselor experienced at helping clients steer through feelings of anxiety, depression, hopelessness, low self-esteem, social skills, and other life-limiting issues. My knowledge and training may help you acquire the strength and skills necessary to overcome emotional and behavioral issues, and help set you on the path to a happier, healthier life. Together we will create a therapeutic alliance in our safe, judgement- free environment, and work towards problem-solving and goal-setting, for personal growth and development. I also speak Russian.

Many clients come to therapy because they’ve reached a roadblock in their lives. I work with each person together, to help go beyond that impasse. Sometimes, it is helping to clarify and act on goals. Other times, there may be the need to understand one’s past before formulating a plan. A client who feels their therapist is there to work together and support their decisions, is more likely to achieve their goals. I work actively with each client to help them reach a happier place.

I offer an emphatic approach, based on realistic expectations with achievable goals tailored for each individual. I work collaboratively, able to readily offer my ideas and suggestions as benefits the client. I believe in continuous evaluation of therapy’s progress. I work with families and children and am experienced in play therapy.

Coming for therapy is the first step in moving forward. I believe in helping my clients in their personal, and unique growth. Asking for help, I believe, is beginning your path to empowerment, and getting your life back on track.

At the core of my practice is my work with African Americans, addressing colorism and internalized racism and how it affect your interpersonal relationships. Helping clients recognize how the complexion of your skin plays a role in who you become, how you are viewed and how it affects your mood.

I view therapy as a shared effort to understand, and make use of, the pains and pleasures of life. I aim to create a healing relationship—a journey of compassion and insight that can transform both patient and therapist. It would be an honor to begin this journey with you, helping guide your path toward growth and self-discovery.

Hi there!

I specialize in working with:

• Autistic, AuDHD, ADHD (self-identified and/or formally diagnosed) people

I consider therapy a sacred space; a place I feel honored to co-create with the people I work with. I am passionate about making space for people's life stories and any situations they are navigating in the present.

I have been in the mental health field for over 20 years working in various capacities. I am here to work with you on finding a more balanced and fulfilled life.

I specialize in working with clients who feel stuck, disconnected from their body, or who carry an extensive trauma history. Whether you’re highly analytical and struggling to drop into your body, or finding it hard to feel and name your emotions, I offer approaches that meet you where you are. Using somatic and body-based methods, including movement, mindfulness, imagery, and metaphor, I help clients access their inner world, integrate difficult experiences, and break through old patterns.
