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.
