The clients that work best with me are ready to identify obstacles that are preventing them from living a juicy and fulfilling life.

Whether you can’t seem to manage your own impulses, anxiety or pain, or someone else’s choices have left you feeling stuck and in pain, it’s often hard to find a single safe person to telI. I want to be a safe place for you, where you feel it’s okay to be who you are. Together we can take a look at which ways of thinking and reacting are helping you reach your goals, and which parts of yourself may have helped you get to where you are but are now not as effective in helping you move forward. As you learn to see your whole story and learn new tools to respond in ways that line up with your true value, healing begins.

I have a passion for helping people reach their full potential. I feel honored to walk along side individuals as they gain deeper understanding of how their life experiences influence healing and success moving forward. Major life changes such as the birth of a child, loss of a loved one, moving or changing jobs can be traumatic. I will help you move toward identifying challenging thought patterns and work to establish new perspectives and healthy coping skills to ease new transitions.

Are you tired of feeling like you're struggling to juggle the demands of life and often left feeling overwhelmed? Do you find yourself battling anxiety, depression or changes in your life? Would you like a safe place to explore your emotions and experiences without judgement, and gain coping strategies that help make life more manageable and connections more meaningful?

I help people who have experienced trauma or distressing life events, rewrite old stories that are no longer serving them. Art is a dynamic and tangible tool that allows for self-expression, freedom to make mistakes, and acts as an extension of the self. I use the process of art with clients and a mind-body connection to cultivate positive change and growth. The therapy room and artwork can act as a container to hold space for fear, hopes, and desires. With this newfound awareness and openness, clients begin to shift their narrative to a story of resiliency, self-compassion, and confidence to be the best version of themselves.

As an African American therapist, I've chosen to focus my practice on the mental well-being of minorities. Why? Because I've lived it, and I know the unique challenges we face. It's not just about therapy; it's about creating a safe haven where you can unpack the layers of your experiences, unapologetically be yourself, and embrace the strength within. So, why did I become a therapist? Well, life threw its fair share of curveballs my way, and I learned the power of seeking support. I understand the constant juggling act of trying to be there for everyone else; its a delicate dance and I'm here to be a safety net.
