I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 10 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in supporting clients who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress-related challenges, trauma, substance use concerns, medical issues, and major life transitions. My background includes conducting comprehensive intake assessments, psychosocial evaluations, treatment planning, and case management services to help clients receive well-rounded support tailored to their needs.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Howard University School of Social Work, and I am deeply passionate about helping people feel more balanced, understood, and empowered in their daily lives. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, supportive, and judgment-free. My goal is to create a safe space where you can openly explore your experiences, strengthen resilience, and work toward meaningful personal growth at your own pace.

I am a direct, solution- oriented mental health therapist with over 30 years helping people navigate mental health challenges

I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) with over five years of experience helping adults manage anxiety, ADHD, substance use, and relationship stress. My approach is practical and collaborative—I help you find real steps that make life feel steadier and more manageable. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in roles that taught me what real stress looks like, which helps me stay grounded and relatable in the room.

Hi, I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) dedicated to helping individuals improve their mental health and overall well-being. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and other mental health conditions. My approach is collaborative, judgment-free, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. I look forward to working with you to help you feel your best.

I know reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, and finding the right fit matters. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, feeling stuck, relationship challenges, life transitions, overwhelming emotions, or patterns that no longer feel helpful, therapy can be a place to slow down and better understand what’s going on.

I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable showing up as yourself. Clients often describe me as compassionate, down to earth, and easy to talk to. Together, we’ll work to better understand what’s keeping you stuck, build practical tools, and create meaningful changes that feel realistic and aligned with your goals.

I believe that meaningful therapy begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. My first priority is getting to know you, understanding what has brought you to therapy, and creating an environment where you feel comfortable being open and authentic. I want you to feel that I am the therapist you’ve chosen—not the therapist you have to see.

I work with adolescents, adults, and families, and I take an individualized approach to therapy based on each client’s needs, strengths, and goals. Drawing from several evidence-based treatment modalities, I work collaboratively with clients to better understand their experiences, identify the changes they want to make, and develop practical skills to support those changes.

Together, we’ll explore what has brought you to therapy, what you hope to gain from the process, and how our work together can help you move toward the outcomes that are meaningful to you.
