I am a licensed clinical psychologist dedicated to providing culturally-sensitive and evidence-based therapy for adults 18 and older. I take an empathic, client-centered approach to meet each of my clients where they are at.

Weekly groups to support weight loss efforts. Our Club E.A.S.E. was developed after a long history working with the emotional aspects related to weight loss and medical issues that can be reversed. The emotional effects are vast. Losing weight requires the following 4 principals: E-education , A-accountability, S- support, E- empowerment hence Club E.A.S.E. was created to help “ease” into your goals with long term success.

This group is intended for clients who identify as Black, African American, or Black African (with ancestors/parents from an African country).
Mental health often dictates a person’s overall well-being. Our perception of ourselves, our families, community and world allow us to experience the gift of life in its entirety or we can find ourselves struggling and limiting what life has to offer. Being a psychologist allows me to help people understand themselves and to create the best version of themselves; which often leads to good experiences and a fulfilling lifestyle. I appreciate the opportunity to connect with people and explore who they are and what they want out of life.

As a cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help teens and young adults uncover their true potential and lead lives that are more enjoyable, peaceful and worth celebrating. Although I see a range of issues in my practice, I specialize in treating teens who have intense difficulty managing strong or dangerous feelings. I offer parenting support to help improve the often strained relationships within the family. In addition, I work with young adults to help negotiate the challenges that present during this transitional time such as college wellness, independence, personal identity and life goals.
I offer women's groups based on personal growth books, such as 'Boundaries' by Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend and 'I Thought It was Just Me (but it isn't)' by Dr. Brené Brown. These groups typically run 16 to 24 weeks and are psychoeducational with some process. The groups provide a safe and nonjudgmental place for women who are striving to improve the quality of their relationships without losing themselves. Ongoing screening for upcoming groups.
