I work with adolescents, adults, and families who are navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional challenges, and life transitions. As an African American psychotherapist, I understand how cultural identity, lived experience, and systemic factors can shape mental health. My goal is to create a therapeutic space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you work toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and emotional balance.

My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. I strive to offer care that feels affirming, collaborative, and grounded in respect for your unique experiences, values, and strengths.

Who I Support

I support:

• Adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm

• Individuals processing trauma and difficult life experiences

• Individuals experiencing depression and mood-related concerns

• Adolescents and adults experiencing life transitions and seeking personal growth

• Clients seeking culturally responsive and inclusive care

• Families looking to strengthen connection, communication, and understanding

My Approach

My therapeutic style is humanistic and integrative, drawing from evidence-based practices tailored to your individual needs. My work may include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns

• Narrative techniques to help you reframe your story and create meaning from your experiences

• Mindfulness-based strategies to support emotional balance and present-moment awareness

• Trauma-informed care that prioritizes safety, connection, and resilience

I believe healing begins with connection. Through curiosity, collaboration, and insight, therapy can become a space for meaningful change, self-trust, and personal growth.

Outside the Therapy Room

Outside of sessions, I enjoy reading, focusing on personal growth, and spending time engaging in activities that help me recharge. I also enjoy interactive games like Jenga, card games, and cup pong. In my free time, I'm interested in learning to play a musical instrument and value moments that allow me to relax, reflect, and reset.
