My clients don’t come to therapy to hear someone nod, parrot back, and agree with everything they say…that’s not worth their time or money. They want real help. They want to know “what to do” and “how to fix it.” They struggle with depression, severe anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, suicidal thoughts, parenting issues, and other painful situations, so they are looking for a true expert. One that they can actually talk to. I’ve been a therapist for about 15 years in the south (Nashville, Chattanooga, and Atlanta) and am excited to bring some of our brand of help to Boston. I am a DBT-Linehan Board Certified Clinician and an expert in Borderline Personality Disorder, anxiety disorders, PTSD, self-harm, and oppositional adolescents. I am an Associate faculty member at Vanderbilt University and have served as a trainer and consultant for a variety of hospitals, schools, and the military. I founded and own PSYCHe, PLLC in TN. When we work together, I am in your corner. If you are looking for the best, you’ve found it. [Read More]

“This voice in my head keeps telling me how I’m doing everything wrong! I’m already so busy with all my to-do lists that I’m afraid I’m already falling behind. I feel so alone. Am I a disappointment to my kids and partner? No one gets it. I’m constantly misunderstood when I try to explain to my partner how I feel. Even when I look for help, no one looks like me. It’s so frustrating! I guess I can do this on my own anyway. I should be able to.” Did any of that sound familiar? You want your days to be less cluttered with worry. You deserve that. An occasional offer to help or words of appreciation are definitely welcome. Although we can’t change the 24-hour day, you’d like to not be so preoccupied with to-do lists and be more comfy with “going with the flow.” As a clinician of color, it’s comforting to have someone to talk to that looks like you and gets it. Not only do I get how busy you are, I accommodate your lifestyle by offering flexible online appointments for Massachusetts, Georgia, and temporarily due to COVID-19 I’m licensed in New Jersey.

Therapy is often the last resort after a person has spent time understanding, managing and accepting their situation. I see the process of therapy as a joint venture between client and therapist. I will never tell you what you should (or shouldn’t) do, but rather help you explore the course that might be best for your current needs. I offer ongoing support for anxiety, relationship issues, past trauma and healing your relationship with food and your body. I am also comfortable supporting survivors of partner abuse. Because a strong therapeutic relationship forms the basis of effective treatment, our process is a collaborative one. Via an anti-oppressive framework, I understand that intersecting identities make us vulnerable to multiple forms of oppression and aim to create an environment that is validating and nurturing. Together we will uncover your strengths and rebuild your self-esteem, creating the space to recognize patterns no longer serving you and establish new ways of coping. I view being a part of your healing process as a privilege and offer virtual sessions you can attend from any private space you choose, so therapy is accessible and easy to fit into your day. All you need is your phone/laptop and a pair of headphones. Visit my website to learn more about my areas of expertise and whether you might want to work together. [Read More]

Throughout life, we all face challenges and stressors that can be too difficult to resolve alone. Oftentimes, the viewpoint of a nonjudgmental third person can provide exceptionally useful new perspectives and insights. Working together, I help my clients discover their values, learn new ways of managing distress, and live their optimal life. I very much enjoy working collaboratively with individuals through life transitions and milestones; managing high levels of daily stress; mood related difficulties such as anxiety and depression; relationship issues; gender and sexuality development; as well as processing traumatic events. I practice at Azimuth, a group that focuses on the unique challenges of those in high-pressure careers, including consulting, finance, technology, healthcare, law, and academia. [Read More]

Do you find yourself stuck or pained in relationships – relationships with yourself, others, the world, or your past?

Through a collaborative process, we work towards identifying and removing blocks in order for you to live your life with more agency and vitality. I strive to create trust in a nonjudgmental and authentic atmosphere, from where we work together to understand and resolve your struggles.
