I’m a licensed counselor who has spent years supporting adults managing chronic health conditions, first at a pain clinic and now in a senior living community. I’ve seen firsthand how physical health, aging, and grief can affect our emotional well-being. If a diagnosis, loss, or anxiety has shaken your footing, I’d love to help you find it again.

As a single mom of color, I have witnessed the extreme societal pressure placed on mothers to choose between their career or their children; leaving little room to even provide attention to their own self care. This ignited a passion within me to use my skills to support women to navigate through the chaos. My goal is to work with those women who may need help coping through these very real everyday stressors. Not a mom? That's ok! I can also empathize with the pressure placed on women of color in the workplace to work so much harder than their male counterparts. Its my hope to create a safe space for you to explore these feelings.


It can be challenging at times for women to have access to a therapist who can empathize with their experiences. Through a strengths based approach, I would love to share my personal experience with being a woman of color, a mom, a Christian, as well as a goal oriented professional in non-profit leadership and mental health.

Through this journey, I want you to find a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and self worth and I would be honored to take that walk with you. Our sessions will not be for me to "social work" you, but for you to unload some of the pressure and burden to make the ride a bit easier. No matter what it feels like, you got this... you can do this!

I believe healing is a personal journey, and no two paths look the same. My role is to walk alongside you with compassion, support, and practical guidance as you navigate life's challenges, reconnect with yourself, and create lasting, meaningful change. I work with adults through various seasons of change including midlife, pressures of the sandwich generation, dealing with trauma, and relationship/communication challenges, anxiety and depression. I believe these seasons, while often difficult, can also become opportunities for healing, growth, and discovering a renewed sense of purpose.

I am a dedicated Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)

with a wealth of experience providing direct therapeutic services to diverse populations.

With advanced degrees in Social Work and Child Development, I am skilled in

conducting complex bio-psychosocial and diagnostic assessments for children,

adolescents, and adults. I provide individualized, evidence-based treatment

for individuals, couples, and groups, addressing a broad range of behavioral health

challenges including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety,

adjustment disorder and grief. My clinical practice is grounded in a variety of proven

modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy

(CPT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a profound commitment to

patient care within demanding environments, including military and outpatient settings.

I have served as a primary therapist in the Army Embedded Behavioral Health clinics,

supported the Army Family Behavioral health Clinic, and provided on-call crisis support for

hospital emergency rooms. A core component of my work involves developing and

monitoring individualized treatment plans to ensure measurable progress and positive

outcomes for my clients. By providing specialized, person-centered counseling and

intervention, I empower my clients to achieve recovery and wellness.
