Therapy is a process of exploration, development, and, sometimes, great change. I am honored to walk with individuals who enter into a therapeutic relationship with me as they grow into more aware and confident versions of themselves. My primary client base is adolescents and young adults. As a former middle and high school music teacher and artist myself, I am drawn to working with people who have creative personalities. Therapy can help them better understand how they see the world and how the world responds to them.

This was something that I wish I had experienced more during my own childhood. Growing up in a multigenerational African American household I heard a lot about familial and societal issues that I did not present and overheard them. Children are often described as silent witnesses. Life happens around them with very little explanation. Sometimes no explanation is needed, but what about those moments when it is? When provided with a developmentally appropriate explanation, safe space, and support to process the situation, most get through it just fine. However, when faced with experiences much bigger than they can comprehend and receiving little to no explanation and support to process, children’s minds and bodies hold on to those experiences.
