I became a counselor because I know what it’s like to navigate the world carrying invisible burdens, and how powerful it can be to have someone truly listen and understand. As an African American woman, I'm passionate about creating a space where clients—especially those from marginalized or underserved communities—feel safe, respected, and supported. My journey into counseling was inspired by a deep desire to help others heal, grow, and reclaim their voice.

I work best with clients who are ready to explore their thoughts, emotions, and patterns with openness and honesty—even if they’re not sure where to begin. I am especially effective with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity concerns, or life transitions. Clients who appreciate a collaborative, compassionate, and culturally aware approach tend to thrive in my care. I value working with people who are seeking not just relief, but growth, insight, and lasting change.

I am passionate about working with clients who are ready to better understand themselves, challenge old patterns, and take meaningful steps toward healing. I am drawn to clients who may be high-functioning on the outside but struggling internally—with anxiety, depression, trauma, or self-worth—and are seeking a safe, affirming space to be vulnerable, seen, and supported.

I wish client's knew that if you are aware of it, you can take care of it.

I chose to work at Thriveworks because it allows me to focus on what matters most—showing up fully for my clients. With the administrative support and steady client referrals, I can dedicate my energy to providing high-quality, compassionate care. I also value Thriveworks’ commitment to accessibility, inclusion, and creating a supportive environment for both clients and clinicians. It’s a place where I can grow professionally while maintaining a healthy balance in my own life.

What inspires me most as a therapist is witnessing the strength and resilience people show even in their hardest moments. I’m motivated by the opportunity to walk alongside clients as they discover new ways to heal, grow, and reclaim their lives. Knowing that even small shifts in perspective or coping can create lasting change fuels my passion every day.

In your first session with me, you can expect a warm, non-judgmental space where we’ll get to know each other and explore what brought you to therapy. I’ll listen closely to your story, understand your goals, and explain how I work so we can build a plan that fits your unique needs. This session is about creating trust and setting the foundation for your healing journey.

In the first session, I aim to create a safe and welcoming space where clients feel heard and understood. My goal is to gather a clear understanding of their concerns, experiences, and goals, while building trust and rapport. Together, we’ll begin exploring what healing and growth look like for them and start shaping a personalized plan to support their journey.

I am a direct communicator, and I have a sense of humor. I don't take myself too seriously, I'm more casual than formal. We indeed talk like grown people and emotions are always allowed. I am not personally sensitive to anything.

For fun I like to travel, shop, go to concerts, or listen to live bands. I enjoy my family time as much as my alone time. I love to try new things and places.

One thing that defines me is my cultural insight—as an African American woman, I bring a unique understanding of identity and community that helps me connect deeply with clients from diverse backgrounds.
