From a young age, I was drawn to the power of human connection and the resilience of the human spirit. Growing up as an Black woman, I saw firsthand how mental health was often overlooked or stigmatized in communities of color. I knew I wanted to change that.
My path to becoming a therapist was fueled by a deep passion for advocacy, healing, and empowerment. Over the past seven years, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse individuals, helping them navigate life’s challenges with evidence-based, culturally competent care. Through my experience as a therapist, consultant, and mental health writer, I’ve been able to bridge the gap between clinical expertise and compassionate storytelling. What drives my work is ensuring that people feel seen, heard, and supported in their healing journey.
Who I Work With
- Adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma (including cultural/generational trauma), and relationship issues.
- Adults struggling with Eating Disorders.
- College students who need support navigating life’s challenges.
- Individuals who identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+.
My Mission
My mission is to help marginalized folks navigate life’s transitions, heal from past wounds, and cultivate a sense of self-worth and emotional well-being. I am committed to making therapy a transformative and empowering experience, one that is not only rooted in clinical expertise but also in deep cultural understanding.
I strive to create a space where my clients can break free from societal pressures, unlearn unhealthy patterns, and step into the fullest, most authentic version of themselves. Healing is not just about survival—it’s about thriving. And I am here to walk that journey with you.
My Counseling Philosophy and Approach
I believe that therapy should be as unique as the person sitting in front of me. That’s why my approach is integrative, blending cognitive-behavioral, trauma-informed, and mindfulness-based techniques with a culturally responsive framework. I work collaboratively with my clients, ensuring that their values, identities, and lived experiences are at the center of the therapeutic process.
Healing is not a one-size-fits-all journey. Whether you’re working through a breakup, managing stress and anxiety, or navigating personal growth, my goal is to provide a supportive, affirming space where you can gain clarity, build resilience, and take empowered steps toward the life you want.
