As a black queer woman working within both for-profit and non-profit spaces for over 10 years, I became increasingly aware of the need for dedicated restorative and affirming safe spaces for BIPOC and Queer folx. Thus, at Growth Explored my intention is to curate an environment that not only allows individuals to observe their own thoughts and feelings as relates to their behavior but additionally understand how external factors such as discrimination impact response to and perceptive of life e...
Life is tough! I recognize and understand that sometimes life knocks us down or throws us a curve ball. Every now and then it can make it hard to get out of bed, ignoring our everyday responsibilities. Sometimes it can make us very anxious, worrying all the time if the decisions we’re making are the right ones. Making difficult transitions in life (i.e. what college to go to, what job to accept and am I in the right relationship) can be stressful. Therapy is a great opportunity to get a new pers...

As women we play so many roles and often have little time to care for our personal needs. This can become a way of being which often leads to feeling unfulfilled, overwhelmed, drained, and stressed. When we create a healthy balance that includes our needs as priority, we experience more energy, more love, more joy, and a clearer sense of purpose. As your therapist, I will explore your concerns, assist you in identifying your personal strengths, and help you to develop effective coping strategies...

Having been a therapist in a University Counseling Center for both Undergraduates and on a Medical School Campus I am familiar with a diverse set of difficulties that young adults may face during the years while they are seeking their education. I am aware that teens and young adults may have a variety of difficulties, from testing anxiety and mild depression all th...
Something isn’t working. Sometimes, nothing is working. Even daily reminders that help is needed engenders worry that acknowledging problems will make them more real. We may wonder if it’s best to accept fleeting comfort from the ways we’re used to. Cold comfort feels better than no comfort. But if you’re reading this, a part of you suspects that just because it feels that way doesn’t mean it has to be that way. Life is hard, change is harder, but ignoring the call toward change is the harde...

I work with clients who think of themselves as "the black sheep"- someone who feels like they don't quite fit in. Sometimes, clients identify that they are co-dependent in relationships, meaning they struggle to make decisions on their own....
To be seen and known by others is an incredible feeling of connection but it means being authentic and vulnerable. Sadly, we live in a time with the illusion of connection while being more disconnected than ever. You may feel disconnected from others and even from yourself. Though you are a gift to this world, it is often blocked and unexpressed. This may leave you feeling alone and invisible. The truth is, you may be starving for deeper connection and that starvation looks like depression, anxi...

I practice from the belief that humans are complex beings with amazing capabilities. Obstacles and challenging situations can block us from using our capabilities to their full potential, changing the ways we think, the ways that we live our lives, and the ways in which we relate to others. As a clinician, I believe that therapy can be used as a resource to for living out our potential. Everyone is capable of change, and I act as a resource for individuals in need to work through the limitations...
