counseling & psychotherapy
What’s your story? I ask because my approach to psychotherapy isn’t about what’s “wrong” with you; it’s about what’s happened in your life to shape who you are and how you see the world. Therapy is about having "healthy conversations" where you feel safe sharing your story and together we work to reshape your narrative so you can move toward healing and wholeness.
I offer an affirming space where you’ll find a supportive ear, thoughtful insights, and meaningful questions to help you better navigate your world. Together, we’ll draw on your strengths to respond to life’s stressors—whether it’s relationship or work conflict, trauma, grief, or major changes. My approach is grounded in theory while tailored to your unique needs. Viewing therapy through a narrative, multicultural, and womanist lens, I bring a deep awareness of how culture and systems shape your life and perspective. Within this understanding, we’ll use our therapeutic relationship to explore the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Together, we’ll identify ways to overcome challenges and move toward a life where you can live, love, grow, and truly thrive.
You can find me at Muse & Grace Mental Health Counseling Services in Manhattan. We are affiliated with Positive Psychology Associates, a collaborative of progressive and like-minded clinicians.
healthjones HEALTH COACHING
I take a holistic approach, focusing on how all aspects of your life are connected. Does job or relationship stress affect your eating? Does low energy keep you from exercising? We know what you eat impacts how you feel and live. I’ll help you turn that knowledge into instinctive, healthy choices—for yourself and your family—every day.
Storytelling for Healing
Trained in Biblio/Poetry Therapy and Creative Arts for trauma treatment, I often use literature, lyrics and narrative techniques to foster whole-body wellness. As a published author and journalist, I bring years of experience supporting individuals in accessing and expressing their stories. Whether you’re committing to a workshop or starting a writing practice, I'm here to help you get your perspective on the page.
