Biography: I believe the most beautiful thing is our ability to be vulnerable... it's what makes us human. I have found that when you slow down and check in with yourself, you may come across the most amazing person...YOU! Many of us are disconnected from ourselves and it's evident across various life domains. Learning to identify your needs and get them met is your responsibility. Exploring various parts of ourselves increases chances that we will have a more meaningful existence. Much of the work I am blessed to do with clients, is providing them with a safe space to land mentally and emotionally. Understanding the complexities we face in black and brown communities makes this interpersonal work meaningful. Therapy is not taboo and asking for help does not equate to weakness, rather strength and courage. As we become healed, whole and well, we contribute positively to our family, friends and our community. I find meaning in helping others identify their needs and use words not behaviors to get them met... we are deserving of this. I want each person I am called to work with to know they deserve to be authentically seen and validated and we don't need anything outside of ourselves to be whole. Once we are healed from past hurts, we can become whole (lacking nothing) and then practice wellness to stay grounded. Be well. XoXo Dr. Edison

Care Philosophy: Deciding to begin the process of psychotherapy is a courageous step! "Symptoms" such as anxiety, depression, relationship/career/sexual orientation/meaning issues, grief & mourning, etc. are often a "call" from psyche announcing the introduction of a new phase of life which is ready to come "online." Navigating such a period of newly-emerging energies and capacities can be confusing and even scary. It can be helpful to have a supportive/non-judgmental therapist to accompany one on this journey.
