When a child has been through more than they should, or when a family is navigating trauma, foster care, or adoption, the right support changes everything. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families dealing with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the weight of whatever life has handed them, including the complex emotions that come with foster care and adoption experiences.

With more than a 10 years in mental health, I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk beside you as a guide and support as you build on your strengths and work toward the future you envision.

You've Been Strong for Everyone Else-Now It's Your Turn

For the past 18 years, I've worked with adults who are carrying more than most people around them know. If you're the one everyone leans on, the high-achiever who looks put-together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed on the inside, or someone who has been strong for so long you've forgotten what it feels like to just exhale, you're in the right place.

As a Black therapist, I bring both clinical training and lived understanding to this work. Whether you're navigating anxiety that won't quiet, grief that hasn't had space, a relationship that's draining you, or a life transition that has left you feeling stuck, you don't have to have it figured out before you begin.

Wherever you're starting from, meaningful support is available, and you deserve to be the one receiving it for a change.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you have been carrying life’s challenges on your own. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or your child, I want you to know that you do not have to have everything figured out before walking through my door. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, sharing your story, and exploring your feelings without fear of judgment.

I work with children, youth, and adults, and I believe every person deserves to feel heard, valued, and understood. I approach therapy with compassion, patience, and an open heart, recognizing that everyone’s journey is different. I understand that healing takes time, and I strive to meet each client where they are while honoring their individual experiences, strengths, and goals.

My approach is holistic and client-centered. I incorporate evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based techniques, to help clients develop healthy coping skills, build resilience, and navigate life’s challenges. Together, we explore practical strategies that support emotional wellness, personal growth, and healthier relationships.

I believe therapy is not about changing who you are or expecting perfection. It is about discovering your strengths, understanding yourself more deeply, and learning new ways to respond to life’s challenges. I value the connection we build throughout the therapeutic process and believe meaningful growth happens when you feel safe, supported, and empowered.

Most importantly, I want you to know that you do not have to walk this journey alone. I am here to listen, encourage, and work alongside you as you take steps toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life. We will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, recognizing and celebrating progress along the way.
