About

The goal of therapy is not only to resolve a conflict or find an answer but to make a connection. I believe that the client drives the car of therapy while the therapist is in the passenger seat ensuring the ride is comfortable, the music is right and hazards or incomplete bridges are avoided. The brain and body should be aligned; therapy does just that. There does not always need to be a problem to go to therapy, the same way a car can use an oil change or detail before a long drive. It is hard to deal with emotional issues on your own, but more difficult to address and face them in therapy or even ask for help. I have worked in multiple therapeutic settings over the span of 8 years. I specialize in Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), Structural Family Therapy while utilizing Emotionally Focused Therapy in individual and couple sessions. I have worked exclusively with adolescents and men of color as they are the underserved areas of mental health.
