About me

Everyone needs help from time to time, but the hardest step is asking for help. Now that you’re here, you are well on your way to living the life you want. As a therapist, I am a systemic thinker. I use various therapies and techniques such as Narrative therapy, Solution focused brief therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Hypnotherapy, and Mindfulness techniques to help my clients live better lives. I also encourage my clients to share their faith in therapy as this can often be a huge source of strength in the healing process. I like working collaboratively with my clients to identify the problem(s) causing emotional distress in their life and alternative ways to solve their problems. I enjoy working with teenagers, individuals, couples, families and groups. Some issues I have worked with are anxiety, depression, life - transitions (e.g. school, relocations, physical illnesses), child adjustments, PTSD, and grief. I look forward to witnessing your transformation in therapy!

My therapist is truly one of a kind—so kind, compassionate, and insightful. She gently offers new perspectives that really make you think and grow, and her suggestions and exercises have made a real difference in my life. I’m so grateful for her support!

Review shared after session 22 with Dr.

July 22, 2025

I was searching for someone who looked like me and could possibly understand me much better. Dr. Ebony’s personality is very warm and authentic, I feel like I’m getting therapy for a close mentor; someone who sees me, gets me, and wants to see me succeed. This approach makes it easier for me to dive in and really be open to therapy and change. Most importantly, it gives me a better sense of hope for my future.
