Feeling overwhelmed, lonely or down? Do you have a child or teen that is dysregulated, experiencing bullying, low self-esteem or aggression? Is your family going through transition? Having a safe place to talk and process your feelings can help. Many people aren’t sure how to find someone they can trust, or what to expect from therapy. I am committed to helping my clients find relief from cycles of emotional distress, improve their relationships and make lasting changes. I bring compassion, authenticity and a sense of humor to the therapeutic relationship.

My life purpose is to break generational curses and make mental health a household conversation. Being a woman of color, mental health has not always been an assessable conversation. In the black community, we are always told to be strong, get over things quickly, and keep looking forward. Unfortunately, that meant we spent years overlooking normal human emotions that caused us to develop bad and unhealthy habits and relationships as an adult. Now, being a mental health professional and therapist, I am destined to make a difference, make mental health an enjoyable conversation, and continue to help bridge the gap.

I approach my clinical work with an emphasis on relationships, attachment and the importance of multi-cultural and relational approaches. I understand the value of knowing where a client comes from and where they have been in order to collaboratively develop interventions and approaches that are safe, effective and familiar. I believe that in order to truly help clients they, and I, must understand the context in which they live and learn and that the work we do in the clinical room must be transferable to their everyday life. Many of my clients are seeking guidance on how to engage in and maintain healthy relationships.
