My ideal client is someone from a marginalized community, particularly an individual who has survived a traumatic situation and is seeking support from a therapist who provides affirming care from a culturally competent perspective. This client may be looking to navigate their experiences and challenges with a therapist who understands their cultural background and can provide a safe and supportive space for healing and growth.

Therapy is an unusual process; there is nothing like it in day to day life. You come to a professional who focuses solely on you, your past, your future, your health, your goals and your perspective. Whatever you have been through, whatever you are trying to become, my goal is to do everything we can together to inspire you, to help you realize you can, and to help you know deep down that you are worth it. I will facilitate your understanding of your emotional (or lack of emotional) responses. You will learn the tools you need to heal from the trauma learning of the past and move forward, free to engage in life on your terms.

Wanting to lead a more meaningful and empowering life? As a mental health professional for over 7 years, I can assist you with processing barriers that may be preventing you from living a rewarding and fulfilling life. I take pride in meeting my clients where they are by creating a safe, affirming, and non-judgmental space. As a Black woman, I believe culture plays a major role in developing our worldview. I make it a practice to consider the intersectionality of culture and identity in my sessions. Life is not one size fits all, therapy shouldn't be either.

Has it started to feel more like you are surviving life instead of living life? When stressors come from so many different directions, your life can start to resemble something you want to retreat from, not something you relish. It’s not surprising that you don’t feel like yourself, or maybe even actually like yourself, anymore. No wonder you spend more time in your head – your brain is probably desperately trying to find a way out of all this, a solution. Let me help. I show clients how they got here, as well as how to navigate a path out. Here, you can be honest about all the stickiest, raw parts of life and still feel valued.
