My mother is English, and my father is African American.
After 20+ years of helping minority/mixed couples, it comes down to the three "C's": Communication, Conflict, and Confidence (Trust). Being married for 33 years, I understand the challenges of an intimate relationship. I personally champion affordable and high-quality mental health care. My session rate starts at $99 (Most are $140+). I am available on Evenings (TX, AR) and only do virtual sessions at this time. My ultimate goal is to empower you with the appropriate coping skills to help you with your personal and relational issues.

I’m here to guide, support, and challenge you in your journey toward healing and personal growth. As a Black, neurodivergent, larger-bodied woman and former D1 athlete, my lived experiences shape a warm, welcoming, and collaborative approach. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be vulnerable and explore your needs, working with an evidence-based, harm-reduction lens. I’ve worked with Olympic athletes and often support people through life transitions, job or sport stress, trauma, racial stressors, body image concerns, eating struggles, and those who get stuck living in their own head. Don't over think this!

To my black and brown men: Therapy is taboo and those around us have perpetuated the idea that needing help is a sign of weakness. Middle finger to all that. I have created a safe space for you to talk about your things. All the things. We can label the "things" as depression, anxiety, or effects from trauma, but I'm good just calling them "things." The things that keep you up. The things that create doubt. The things that make you feel like an imposter. The things that make you feel less of a man, a husband, a dad, a brother, a friend, an employee, a student, an athlete, a human.

As a biracial Black clinician, I see people from a variety of backgrounds but predominately help Christian women of color heal from family wounds and social trauma by creating a safe space that allows you to be your genuine self while feeling heard and validated. Are you frustrated with your relationships (out-of-control children, conflict with your spouse)? Is the chaos you are experiencing negatively affecting other areas in your life? Have you gained professional success but feel like you are living a lie or sometimes a nightmare behind closed doors? Perhaps you see painful family patterns from the past creeping into the present.

I have a passion for working with the Black community to destigmatize the idea of accessing mental health services. Whether it is working with a family or couple to decrease conflict and increase intimacy or assisting an individual to process trauma, helping them to have a healthier relationship with themselves and others, it brings me joy to restore families to a sense of wholeness. I also really enjoy clients who are motivated to do the work, are willing to be open and receptive to the therapeutic process and who have an intrinsic desire to increase their self-awareness regarding their needs and wants.

Clients come to me looking for a Black therapist because therapy is a place you should feel comfortable, safe, and understood.
Do you find yourself feeling anxious, stressed, and overwhelmed no matter what you do? You may be fed up with how anxiety is affecting your relationships, your peace of mind, and your physical health. You may not remember the last time you felt like yourself. One thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to feel calmer and more grounded. You're ready to have better, more emotionally connected relationships. Most of all, you're ready to feel like yourself again.

With the use of DBT, EMDR, IFS, Black feminist and spiritual based practice, my goal is to help you connect to the parts of yourself that are scared to be loved, don't think they are worth loving, or have given up on love in all of its forms.
Throughout our life journey, our stories get told by our family, community, oppressive systemic forces, etc. We often lose sight of our story, and therefore lose sight of ourselves. I work with folx who have lost the plot to their own story due to depression, anxiety, PTSD or C-PTSD, and attachment trauma from various painful connections throughout your life that has also made connecting to yourself that much more painful.

Well, hello beautiful people! I aim to help black women who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and/or spirituality. From the time we are born, we are exposed to many unpleasant and even unexplainable circumstances that leave us desperately looking for answers. Unfortunately, as black women the “lack” can result in us dealing with our reality in a number of devastating ways. There is an amount of deception in MANY forms in our society that is cultivated and we fall victim to; some for a short period, and some all of our lives.

You want to appear more outgoing, productive, and like you are “on top of things” but deep down you are struggling to cope with anxiety and low self-esteem. You're someone who enjoys your alone time but still finds yourself wanting to be active and feel included. You want to feel less exhausted and find that too many things going on at once can leave you feeling frazzled. You also may struggle with overanalyzing a past conversation you had or maybe you feel self-critical. You're ready to start feeling some relief, hope, and happiness again. Most of all, you're ready to feel less anxious and stressed. I want to help you get there.

The stories we tell ourselves are very important and often they are stories that others have told us or placed on us. I believe that there is power in taking back our story and living the truth that aligns with the core of who we are. I believe that you as the client are the expert of your life and I get to be a part of empowering you with the tools you need to navigate hardships and struggles.

Maybe you feel like the black sheep of the family, or maybe you're overwhelmed by parental pressure as an adult. Perhaps you’re feeling drained and exhausted by your current friendships. Maybe you're engaged, excited about the wedding and, of course, the honeymoon…but you also may realize there are so many things your parents didn't tell you about marriage. You want a place to talk about budgeting, future children, intimacy, and more. Maybe you are years into your marriage and struggling to keep the fire lit or feel trapped by all the long-term relational wounds and feel like you have reached the point of no return.
