My goal is to provide a safe space where you can explore, heal, and grow into the fullest expression of who you are meant to be.
My specializations include couples counseling; trauma therapy using somatic approaches; eating disorder treatment and body image work; and grief and loss counseling. I’ve written several books including The Psychology of Modern Dating, and Grief and Romantic Relationship Healing.
I have been actively involved in LGBTQ+ advocacy and clinical work for over 20 years, and have served as DEI chair of many professional organizations. In my work I have an intersectional lens that honors the true complexity of human identity and experience.
Are you curious to find out how your physical and emotional symptoms are connected? In addition to individual therapy, I am trained and credentialed to provide energy psychology, which addresses the relationship of your energy system to emotions, cognitions, behaviors and health. I believe that healing happens not just in therapy sessions, but through authentic connection, creative expression, and finding joy in everyday moments.
I am passionate about learning new ways to facilitate healing. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in psychology from Spelman College. I have a Master’s of Art degree with a major in clinical/counseling psychology from Lasalle University, and I received another master’s degree as well as my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from the Georgia School of Professional Psychology. I completed my pre-doctoral training at Vanderbilt University and my post-doctoral training at Princeton University. I was credentialed as a Diplomate in Comprehensive Energy Psychology (DCEP) in 2017 and have been training and working in the area of Energy Psychology since 2012. In addition, I received my credentialing as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional in 2019.
When not in the office, I am often on long walks with my partner and our two dogs, Roman and Gigi. I can’t wait to connect with you and accompany you on your path of enhanced understanding, growth and support.
