As an African American woman, mental health and therapy were not discussed often within my community growing up. After studying mental health, trauma, and the disparities for people of color, I want to be a pillar of my community to bring awareness to mental health and break the stigma of therapy. In today's fast-paced and often stressful world, more and more people are turning to therapy to improve their mental and emotional well-being.

Clients with a curiosity for change. Therapy is not just for individuals dealing with severe mental health issues; it can benefit anyone looking to gain self-awareness and achieve personal growth.

I am passionate about working with individuals who are ready to learn more about themselves, whether they're navigating life transitions, seeking emotional balance, or simply wanting something to shift. I feel excited to work with clients who are motivated to build on their strengths and areas for growth to live more intentionally.

One thing I wish all clients knew is that healing isn't a straight line, there's no right way to grow, and setbacks are just part of the journey, not signs of failure.

I chose Thriveworks because it provides the structure and resources I need to focus solely on my clients. Thriveworks also provides me the flexibility to stay true to my approach and values as a therapist.

I am inspired by individual creativity. No two people are the same, and that brings uniqueness to therapy. Being able to identify a client's interest and use that to help them grow in their confidence is inspiring.

Our first session is about creating a foundation of trust. I will listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and work with you to explore goals and concerns. I will give you space to be heard without pressure or judgment. In this first session, I will provide clarity on the therapeutic process and answer any questions you may have about moving forward.

In our first session, I want to accomplish providing a space where you feel safe, seen, and heard. My goal is to get a sense of what's bringing you in, understand what you're hoping for, and be able to collaborate on a plan that feels right for you.

I want clients to know that in your therapy sessions, I am not the boss. We are partners in connecting the dots between your inner world, your body, and the goals you want to work towards. While I don't have all the answers, I am committed to helping you explore, grow, and find your way through life's journey.

I love reading, it does not matter what the genre, as long as there is a good storyline. In my time off, I also enjoy spending time with my family, trying new food, traveling, and watching reality TV shows.

At my core, I'm a nurturer. I show up for the people I love & care about, and that same presence carries into how I move through the world.
