As an African American woman, I have witnessed the lasting effects of unaddressed mental health concerns and generational trauma within my own family and community. These experiences inspired me to become a counselor so I could help others break cycles of pain, promote healing, and support individuals in achieving emotional well-being and personal growth.

I work best with clients who are open to personal growth and ready to explore the patterns and experiences that shape their lives. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I also enjoy working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds who value a collaborative, compassionate, and empowering therapeutic approach.

I wish all clients knew that healing is not a linear process — it takes time, patience, and self-compassion. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” yourself but about understanding yourself more deeply and learning new ways to cope and grow. Every small step forward is meaningful progress, even when it doesn’t feel that way.

In the first session, clients can expect a warm, supportive environment focused on getting to know them, their story, goals, and what brought them to therapy. We’ll discuss their background, current challenges, and what they hope to achieve. Early sessions are about building trust, identifying priorities, and creating a personalized plan for growth and healing.

My practice is deeply informed by my values of empathy, authenticity, and cultural humility. Having witnessed the effects of unaddressed mental health challenges within my own community, I am passionate about breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and creating a safe, inclusive space where individuals feel seen, heard, and empowered to heal and grow

I tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs by taking a collaborative, individualized approach that honors their personal experiences, strengths, and goals. I integrate evidence-based methods, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and trauma-informed techniques, while remaining flexible and responsive to what resonates most with each client’s personality and pace of healing.
