Description
Welcome! Sometimes we decide that we need a change in our lives. Maybe anxiety, depression, or a past experience has limited our views of ourselves and what we think we are able to do. Or we’re struggling with who we are and what feels most meaningful to us. Taking a step toward change—especially the first step—can feel like standing still. But notice what happens when you can string a few steps together: suddenly you're a little bit further than you were before, and before you realize it, you're a lot further. That's the power of MOMENTUM.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in the Commonwealth of Virginia and through the PsyPact compact that allows me to practice telehealth in 42 states in the US. My primary areas of therapy focus are: anxiety; depression; identity (racial/ethnic, cultural, LGBTQIA+); and relationship concerns. Using a collaborative, client-centered approach that acknowledges and values individual identities and the common humanity we all share, I help clients identify and explore ways the stories they tell themselves may influence how they think and feel, and get in the way of the life they want to live.
I welcome and support individuals of all identities and strive to create a warm and welcoming space where the fullness of these identities can be expressed. My identity as a queer Black woman makes it especially important to me to help create a space that is affirming for people of color, those who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and those who represent other marginalized identities.
