Being an amazing black female therapist means embracing diversity and promoting inclusivity. It means acknowledging the unique struggles that marginalized communities face and actively working to provide support, understanding, and healing. It means using my platform to advocate for equality, justice, and mental health awareness. My goal is to break down barriers and stigmas surrounding mental health within the black community and to provide accessible and culturally sensitive care.
My dedication to inclusivity and providing a safe and affirming space for all individuals has led me to become an advocate and ally for the LGBTQ community. I understand that navigating issues related to sexual orientation, gender identity, and societal acceptance can be incredibly challenging.
My journey as a therapist is one of continuous learning, growth, and dedication to my clients. I am proud to be an amazing black female therapist who works with substance use, LGBTQ individuals, teens, adolescents, depression, anxiety, divorce, and trauma. My commitment to providing exceptional care is unwavering.
