Hello! Therapy should be a safe space in which you are able to be transparent, vulnerable and the driver to the change you would like to see in your life. As an experienced clinician, I am dedicated to collaborating with you to heal from past relationships, understand, recognize and heal from trauma and remove the barriers that may be negatively impacting your progress.
I provide a therapeutic space that will empower you to establish autonomy over your mental, physical, spiritual and emotional well-being. Instilling validation, compassion, hope and empathy into the narratives that dictate our lives are key factors in the ways in which I will engage you in the healing process.
As an EMDR-trained therapist, trauma recovery and harm reduction are instrumental to creating a life cultivated by safety, support, love, and care. My research and treatment has a heavy emphasis on childhood sexual abuse and trauma within the African American community. I welcome the opportunity to help you Heal, Rise & Soar!
