My life purpose is to break generational curses and make mental health a household conversation. Being a woman of color, mental health has not always been an assessable conversation. In the black community, we are always told to be strong, get over things quickly, and keep looking forward. Unfortunately, that meant we spent years overlooking normal human emotions that caused us to develop bad and unhealthy habits and relationships as an adult. Now, being a mental health professional and therapist, I am destined to make a difference, make mental health an enjoyable conversation, and continue to help bridge the gap.

Do you want help at this time but do not know where to look? Have you been impacted by the legal system and hope to grow from the experience? Do you feel misunderstood and are looking for a place of acceptance? Seeking help can be difficult for many people, and my goal is to provide a place where asking for help is seen as a strength rather than a weakness. I like to create an environment where clients can be authentic without judgment and develop the necessary skills to overcome life's stressors.

Being a culturally competent therapist is extremely important to me. As the daughter of immigrants, this experience has helped me to get in touch with my own beliefs and value systems. Therefore, I am able to help clients connect to their own values and take committed action steps in service of those values. I work primarily with adults and specialize in working with emerging adults who may be undergoing life transitions. I also have experience working with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, grief and loss, severe or chronic mental illness and trauma.

I work with children and families experiencing a wide variety of difficulties such as emotional regulation, social and emotional issues, low self esteem, ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and attachment issues. Rooted in psychological research of child brain development, I use playful therapy to strengthen the connection between brain and body, helping children learn to regulate their bodies and emotions while engaging their interest and enjoyment. I work from a strengths based perspective to nurture each child’s unique personality and gifts.
