About Us
Why we do what we do.
All of us strive for the greatest quality of life that we can attain, especially for our loved ones. We all want to be well-functioning, responsible, and independent. Ultimately, we want happiness, health, and peace for ourselves, our families, and our community. When we or our loved ones (no matter the age) are sad, anxious, or confused, it affects the entire family and threatens our future dreams. Our incessant thoughts of how we can make things right begin to interfere with sleep, work, and social life. Through respectful questioning, consideration of culture, and family engagement, our practice provides expert assessment and treatment of mental health conditions. Whether the issue is an acute episode of depression or dealing with confused thoughts or perceptions, our focus is on improved functioning and quality of life. Our work emphasizes values-based decision-making and action-oriented strategies to restore mental health, foster positive interactions, and nurture peace.
Practice Areas
Telepsychology Services
Telehealth has made psychotherapy much more available and accessible. It eliminates driving time and parking issues and reduces time away from work to care for your mental health. Our early morning hours and HIPAA-compliant interactive video-conferencing make accessing care easier and private while also receiving professional, experienced, and expert care to get a great start to your day.
Trauma & PTSD
Whether you are a first responder, are connected to the military, or have historical trauma, culture plays a role in how you respond to trauma. As an African-American EMDR clinician, I understand that helping you overcome trauma while honoring your cultural strengths has never been more necessary. We will guide you through the process that brings healing and helps restore trust while preserving protection.
The Professionals' Psychologist
You're highly competent in your field, but mental health concerns may undermine your expertise. Your advanced training may not have prepared you for taking care of yourself amidst the invariably occurring work-life transitions. Our work together will provide you with additional skills for addressing work-life balance, stress management, and boundary setting. We will work together to find your center and lighten your load.
Therapy for Depression and Anxiety
Clinical depression is more than the blues alluded to by Billie Holliday. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, nearly one in ten women and 20% of adolescent females suffer from depression compared to 5.3% of adult males and 6.8% of male youth. Depression may be experienced as a lack of interest in engaging in normal activities, isolation, and low energy. Our therapy services help you learn strategies for addressing the thoughts and behaviors contributing to anxiety. You will begin to identify your unique patterns for more adaptive responses and fulfilling interactions.
Menopause Adjustment
It's about time! Prioritize yourself with a focus on decreased stress. Learn to let go without the guilt for a renewed focus on wellness and quality of life.
