As a Black woman, I am passionate about increasing access to mental health services for ALL people of color, as it has been deeply stigmatized in our communities for generations.

I help individuals develop the skills to manage anger and regulate their emotions. Is anger ruining your relationships, family life, or career? Maybe your partner has expressed that they or your children are afraid of you? With over 6 years of experience working with anger management clients in a clinical setting, I can help you gain control over your anger. Many people find themselves trapped in a cycle of frustration and reactivity, where emotional triggers lead to outbursts. This pattern can harm relationships, whether it's with a partner, family member, friend, or co-worker.

I also have experience working with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, grief and loss, severe or chronic mental illness and trauma.

People have within themselves a strength that may not always be obvious to them. They may be experiencing a loss. Many are unable to imagine life again. Then they discover some distant belief deep within, that they are able to survive and actually live forward. They choose to work with someone experienced, who genuinely cares about them. These individuals may or may not be aware of true choices. The goal may be simply to find some joy again, or even be that productive human being they have been unable to reach. They understand that change is constant, and often requires patience and gentle guidance.
