I have spent several years working with and caring for people in vulnerable and challenging situations, including those living with cancer and other major illnesses, grieving loss, vulnerable youth,  broken families, and those preparing  for or journeying through marriage.  I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Pastoral Ministry  at Nyack College, New York NY;  a Master  of Divinity in Urban Mission at Westminster Theological Seminary in Glenside PA; and a PhD in Marriage and Family  Therapy at Eastern University,  St. Davids PA. I have completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, which I incorporate into my work with couples. I have also trained in Ecosystemic Structural Family Therapy  at the Philadelphia Child and Family Therapy Training Center, Philadelphia, PA, and I am a certified Grief Counseling Specialist (CTCS) and Certified Trauma Professional (CTP).   

I am a Professional Member and Clinical Fellow of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), a member of the Christian Association for Psychological Studies (CAPS), and the Black Doctoral Network.


I approach therapy using a family systems perspective in conjunction with solution-focused, structural, and bioecological elements to discover and address the varied needs of my clients.

Core Values at XarisCounseling, LLC

Hopeful

Wholeness Focused

Wholeness Focused

 I begin with the premise that hope is both real and necessary for improvement, restoration, or healing. Experiencing wholeness in life begins with the belief that wholeness is possible. This possibility fuels all the services I provide and the spirit in which they are offered 

Wholeness Focused

Wholeness Focused

Wholeness Focused

 Each client is unique, and the therapeutic partnership is a continual focus on the client and their best outcomes. We beileve that each client is much more than the challenge or goal that brings them  to therapy and we strongly embrace this  conviction as we journey together 

Inquisitive

Wholeness Focused

Compassionate

 Questions lead to discovery, and I use earnest questions to better appreciate not only what may seem obvious, but what may not be so clear, yet very important as we work toward  more authentic understanding and more satisfying outcomes 

Compassionate

Compassionate

Compassionate

 Partnering with you involves gaining a deep appreciation of your struggle, your goals, and all that may influence them.  Being  present with you in painful or difficult spaces as much as in comfortable ones is critical to my authentically supporting your journey to wholeness 

Restorative

Compassionate

Restorative

 I believe that my clients have strengths that may have been hidden or suppressed, underutilized, or even undiscovered in the quest for survival. We want to identify and incorporate those strengths in the process of therapy for outcomes that are as lifegiving as the client is unique 

Ethical

Compassionate

Restorative

 I am committed to doing right by my clients. Your safety, privacy, humanity, dignity, and best outcomes remain at the center of my thoughts, decisions and practices 

Empowering

Empowering

Empowering

 My goal is to empower you with partnership, insight, discovery, and tools that will build your strength, increase your understanding,  and engage your  capacity to thrive, grow, and live more fully as you experience more meaningful life
