I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over twenty-five years of experience. I specialize in treating adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions and grief. My approach is compassionate, integrative and tailored to the needs of each individual patient.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist trained to treat mood disorders, life transitional issues, relationship problems and help understand and recognize unhealthy life patterns. Together we work on treating the problem, recognize the effects it has on your life and working toward a different more effective experience.

As a Black, Queer, Femme, I know that a person can hold many identities, some more front-facing than others. The way we hold and view ourselves (or are viewed by others) can often be accompanied by feelings of guilt, shame, anxiety and/or depression. Whether you are struggling with your mental health, your relationships, your own identity or a loved one’s, my goal is to establish an open and compassionate space for you to feel safe sharing your experiences. Together we will work to use your strengths to uncover, reconstruct or renew your capacity for self-love and build a supportive, enjoyable and sustainable way of life that works for you.

Everyone deserves a space where all aspects of your personhood are acknowledged, accepted, and welcomed without judgement. I’m a therapist that navigates the world and my clinical work from a curious, mindful, and social justice stance. I provide a non-judgmental and safe space for you to process and explore your thoughts and feelings. I specialize in Perinatal Mental Health and operate from a psychodynamic, attachment-based, and relational perspective and utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness (MBSR).
