Welcome to Straight Up Healing! Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like no one truly gets you? You’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.
I specialize in helping adults and teens navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions with compassion and clarity. I create a warm, judgment-free space where you can be real, be heard, and begin to heal.
As a Black therapist, I know how important it is to feel seen — especially when navigating the world with overlapping identities or under constant pressure to “hold it together.” Therapy with me is collaborative, relaxed, and focused on what works for you.
Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back, learn to manage tough emotions, and create lasting change. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, Strength-Based Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing — but at the end of the day, it’s about what actually feels right for you.
If you’re ready to start feeling better — not just surviving but truly thriving — I’d love to support you on that path.
Hi, I’m Ahsoka, the unofficial therapy assistant at Straight Up Healing! I love playing with toys, meeting new people, and bringing a little extra joy to the office. If I’m not napping, you might see me popping in to say hello or hear me happily playing nearby during sessions. I’m here to remind everyone to take a moment to smile and enjoy the little things!
Hi, I’m Luke, the resident relaxation expert at Straight Up Healing! You’ll usually find me napping during sessions, but I’m always ready to lend a paw if someone needs a little extra comfort or a pick-me-up. My calm and friendly nature is here to remind you that it’s okay to take a deep breath and just be in the moment.
Hi, I’m Sampson, the laid-back wanderer at Straight Up Healing! I enjoy casually walking in and out of sessions, chewing on whatever fun things I can find, and just hanging out. Whether I’m exploring or chilling nearby, I’m here to bring a little extra warmth and relaxation to your day.
