I am a licensed therapist with a Doctorate in Professional Counseling from Mississippi College and nearly 15 years of experience supporting individuals, families, children, and adolescents in both individual and group therapy settings. Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege of sitting with people through some of their most difficult and transformative moments, and I bring empathy, patience, and genuine care to every session.
My clinical experience includes working with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and behavioral health concerns across a wide variety of ages, backgrounds, and life circumstances. Two populations are especially close to my heart: children and adolescents experiencing behavioral or emotional challenges, and women healing from trauma. I understand how overwhelming these experiences can feel, and I am deeply committed to helping clients reclaim their strength, find hope, and move toward healing. I believe healing is possible for everyone, and I consider it an honor to be trusted as part of that journey.

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.

As a health care provider, patient advocacy has been the cornerstone of my practice. I am a highly self-sufficient professional, confident in my ability to independently manage and resolve a wide range of common challenges and unpredictable situations in healthcare. As a doctorial prepared nurse practitioner, I've had the opportunity to build tools to support providers with improving the accuracy of their diagnoses. My autonomous background has provided me with a proven record in treating Mood Disorders, Eating Disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Women's Health related psychiatric disorders, Body Dysmorphia, as well as Sleep Disorders. Working within a diverse population including rural health has prepared me to serve and cater to the complexity and challenges faced by my clients, across all ages. In my spare time outside of the office, I enjoy reading, exercise, traveling, and playing with my puppy.
