(She/Her) Accepting New Clients

I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem challenges, and relationship concerns. I especially enjoy working with women who struggle with self-doubt, anxious thoughts, people-pleasing, and finding their voice. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, struggling with your confidence, or trying to build healthier relationships, I want to help you feel more grounded, secure, and connected to yourself.

With 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families through crises and life challenges, I have worked extensively with women, single mothers, and families navigating co-parenting challenges, family conflict, communication difficulties, and changing relationship dynamics. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to balance your own needs with the expectations of others while trying to show up for the people you love.

My therapeutic approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Family Systems Theory to help clients better understand their emotions, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and build practical tools to support meaningful, lasting change.

My experience includes care coordination, school social work, clinical program development, and outpatient therapy with adolescents, adults, and families. I have also facilitated support groups focused on depression, anxiety, anger management, and healthy relationships, as well as workshops on suicide prevention and mental health awareness.

I am also the facilitator of Rooted: Building Love Without Losing Yourself, a relationship-focused group designed to help young women build healthier connections with themselves and others. Through guided discussions, psychoeducation, and self-reflection, participants explore self-worth, attachment patterns, relationship anxiety, boundaries, emotional availability, and dating with intention. The group creates space for women to recognize unhealthy patterns, clarify their relationship values, and learn that they can love others without abandoning themselves.

As a Black therapist with lived experience, I recognize the importance of having a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to show up authentically. You may find yourself overthinking conversations, questioning your worth, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling responsible for everyone else’s needs. You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone.

My goal is to help you quiet self-doubt, navigate anxious thoughts, strengthen your confidence, and build relationships that align with your values. Whether you’re working through personal challenges, navigating motherhood or co-parenting, healing family relationships, or learning to prioritize yourself, we’ll work together to help you feel more confident in who you are and the life you’re building.

You deserve relationships that feel healthy, a voice that feels heard, and a life where you don’t have to abandon yourself to belong. Healing takes time, but you don’t have to go through it alone.
