Thank you for considering my services by reading this profile; I appreciate it! Counseling is an "encore career" for me, having concluded an extraordinary career in Human Resources, both domestically and internationally. However, counseling has always been a passion of mine, and I am very enthusiastic about my new career. I have been a counselor for 3 years and enjoy a very interactive relationship with my clients. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and goal oriented. Since I am a visual learner and many of my clients are as well, I routinely utilize a whiteboard so that we can list problems and develop solutions.

I currently specialize in offering an emotionally safe space for those highly impactful black folks in the arts and healing professions who are seeking support for anxiety, depression, racial trauma, personal growth, career/life transitions, grief, trauma, and work stress.
Sometimes it feels like you’ve been pursuing a career and a life that’s not your own. You may feel like society doesn’t value your culture, your sensitivity, and your expression. Your experiences have led to feeling stressed, anxious, and depressed. If this sounds like you, welcome to your return to joy. As a therapist specializing in empathetic and liberation-focused work, I am dedicated to supporting Black individuals from all gender identities. For the past eight years, I have provided individual and group therapy for multicultural populations in inpatient and outpatient settings.

Feeling overwhelmed and frustrated when outcomes do not meet your expectations? Burdened with strong emotions that continually cause reactivity and negative consequences? Experiencing pain and suffering from a recent loss of a loved one, job, relationship or even a pet? These symptoms are difficult to treat on your own. They need openness and validation from a professional. A place to calm the nervous system and feel safe to vulnerably explore the issues at-hand. I take great pride in providing that environment. Someone did that for me and it transformed my life. It would be a privilege to do the same for you.

I am best suited for individuals or couples who recognize a pattern of self-defeating behaviors that destroy relationships and contribute to anxiety/depression. These individuals feel stuck in a seemingly never-ending cycle that may include: procrastination, busyness that leads nowhere, the exhaustion of perfectionism, feelings of rejection, loneliness, or depletion in general--all of which gets worse without intervention. Wishing that distracting issues and concerns would just go away is unproductive. My job is to make psychology applicable to everyday problem-solving and decision-making and therefore give you a reason to hope for a new reality.

I provide individual, couples (dating, premarital, marriage, divorce, post-divorce), and family therapy, with specialty emphasis on health-related wellness, relationship development, career exploration, and mental health.
With over 15 years of experience as a practicing therapist, I understand that therapy is not the easiest journey to take when you have to address challenging life circumstances. The easier path to take is to do nothing and remain unhappy and dissatisfied. Meaningful change in life will not happen unless you make the commitment to change. I provide a safe, comfortable, supportive, and non-judgmental space for you to do the work you need to do so you are better able to fulfill your dreams. You only have to be willing to make a difference in your life.

In the early part of my career, I was often frustrated by what I perceived as a disconnect between what my clients desired and my actual role as a mental health professional.
I do not recall much from Pinocchio besides Jiminy Cricket, a character meant to serve as the conscience of the puppet turned real boy. I remember being envious of Pinocchio having this cricket on his shoulder constantly serving as the voice of reason when he faced some dilemma. I wondered why people lacked such individuals in their lives to help them reach their goals and become the people they wanted to be.

Navigating life and all of its choices can be difficult for everyone. I work with children ages 4-16+ and adults who need a caring, listening, licensed professional counselor (LPC).
