In over 20 years of practice I have specialized in anxiety disorders and depression - working with individuals, couples and families. Life is forever changing, which can be both exciting and stressful. Transitioning into or out of marriage, loss of a loved one, job change or even retirement are all possible triggers for anxiety and or depression. Specific phobias can prevent you from making important life decisions, as you may try to avoid situations that pose too great a fear. While depression or anxiety can prevent you from connecting with others, therapy can be a safe place to do so with guidance, support and acceptance.

As a Black woman living in the United States, I wear multiple hats like many others. I grew up in a religiously conservative household and spent some of my childhood on a compound. I’ve wrestled with reconciling spirituality with the religious ideals I was taught. My background is in Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, and Psychology and I have over ten years of experience as a therapist. My journey has been one of learning how to manage stress, intentional personal growth and radical self acceptance. It is this knowledge and experience that I bring into my practice and in my work with clients.

We sometimes feel overwhelmed, lost and alone. We can struggle with depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship/ marital issues, sexual assault, imposter syndrome, trauma and grief or loss. At times we use negative/hurtful coping strategies and develop unhealthy behavior patterns. Fortunately, sometimes we realize we are stuck and need help. My office is a shame-free zone. I provide a warm, engaged, compassionate and safe space for you to address your concerns comfortably and openly. I practice culturally informed psychotherapy using a holistic approach and am committed to normalizing the need for and benefits of therapy.

LGBT, Relationships/ Marriage, Sex, Kink/Fetish, Career Goals, Anxiety/Depression, HIV... Sometimes it can be so easy to sweep things under the rug and deal with it later. The problem is often we have so much going on that we forget to address things that we say we will. This therapeutic practice strongly believes that every person, every situation, and the surrounding circumstances are all unique. Your situation may sound like or seem similar to someone else’s but YOU are the factor that makes yours different, and that’s what the main focus will be; how you can be empowered to explore with me and take solutions into your world.
