Therapists » Licensed Professional Counselor
Let’s be real; life as a teenager or young adult is complex and hard enough as it is. Add to that the confusion about who you are as a mixed race individual; the frustration of being directly or indirectly labeled “the black girl” in a predominantly white school; or the pressure that comes with being a student athlete trying to balance life on and off the court. The weight of it all can become too heavy to carry alone! As a mixed race woman and former Division I athlete, I bridge lived experience with clinical training to provide hope, help, and healing for teens, young adults, and adults who feel weighed down by the added stress of being mixed race, BIPOC, and/or athletes in an already complex world and phase of life. I integrate components of DBT, CBT, IFS, and Somatic-Based therapies to treat stress, anxiety, depression, issues related to identity and belonging, low self-esteem, trauma, and life transitions. It takes courage to seek therapy. If you are ready to take the first step towards change, let's talk!
