Hello, I am an LCSW from Mississippi with over 10 years of experience. I am currently licensed in Mississippi, Maine, Utah, Florida, and the District of Columbia. I truly enjoy what I do and getting to know different people. I am looking forward to working with you as well.
As a licensed clinical psychologist since 2000 I have worked primarily with adolescents and adults living with HIV and other chronic health conditions in the US, Asia, and Africa. I also work with young adults who struggle with navigating identities based on race, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation. My clinical approach is shaped by my research and teaching at Howard University, DC where I serve as faculty in the Department of Psychology. I care deeply about what the science says - but even more about how it plays out in everyday life.
