What makes relationships difficult at times is the fact that we are integrating two different lifestyles and hoping that it's compatible. I specialize in interracial relationships, incompatibility, and desire discrepancy. I've done a bit of research on interracial relationships and understand that oftentimes we may be misunderstood. There may be stigma from society, friends, and even family. Together, let's figure out how I can help you foster a safe, healthy relationship that feels like home.

If you are constantly criticizing yourself, assuming what others think of you, and engaging in people-pleasing behaviors, it may be time to tell those voices to .... you know. They don't deserve to occupy the majority of your day. Instead, in our work together, let's focus on ways to improve self-esteem, address negative self-beliefs, prevent painful sex, and ultimately empower ourselves to walk with confidence.

Whether it's been days, months, or even years, I believe you can still heal your sexual trauma. Perhaps you feel yourself minimizing the event or feel undeserving of help, but I want to remind you that you are HUMAN, and deserve the space to process painful experiences. I've worked with trauma for the last year and have seen significant progress in survivors. The light may be dim, and I'd like to help ignite it once more.

I don't beat around the bush with clients, and some sessions may be more difficult than others. Using empathetic confrontation, I will help you navigate through unhelpful thoughts and ultimately find a solution that works for you. We will develop a collaborative treatment plan, which we will review every 3 months to ensure we're on track.

Under supervision, I am constantly learning new interventions, tools, and activities to address sexual concerns within a relationship and with yourself. One of the books I highly recommend is Come As You Are, by Emily Nagoski, Ph.D. I constantly refer to this book in sessions as it provides a plethora of information that every human being should know.

Ever feel like your words aren't getting through quite right or feel like you're barely missing each other in conversation? With my 1.5 years working with couples, I have seen common barriers that make communication challenging. In sessions, we will role-play, use speaker-listener, and be truthful about our wants and needs. I assign homework regularly and recommend couples counseling at a minimum frequency of once a week.
