Have you reached a crossroad in your current chapter in life where you are looking to redefine who you are? Have you recently taken the leap into adulthood and having a hard time finding your individual identity? Are you ready to challenge the limiting beliefs that are holding you back from becoming your true authentic self? If this resonates with you, I am here to offer support to help you gain clarity and confidence in who you are. I work with a range of individuals, particularly Black women, young adults, college students, second-generation immigrants, and marginalized populations.
I help my clients by being walking along side them on the journey to rediscovering. The things that we need in this life are already inside us and just need to be uncovered. I follow a holistic and existential therapeutic approach assisting clients to find meaning and purpose in their life. In doing so, client's take steps to becoming their authentic self.
Facing our challenges can be every difficult especially when we've just become aware of them. At your pace, together we can develop the tools needed for your toolkit. Come and let me help you find your true self to live your best life! Best way to contact me would be through the messaging and email on this page!

I use an Integrative response to best address the uniqueness of each client's treatment in therapy. In the first few sessions, a Humanistic approach would be used to gather information about the client's experiences that have led them to therapy. For some clients, EMDR may be beneficial so it is often explored. I will push clients to explore different perspectives in order to find answers.
