I believe the most effective care comes from a strong, collaborative partnership. I approach each person as more than a diagnosis, and I value honesty, accountability, and mutual respect in the work we do together. Change is possible—I’ve seen it firsthand—and I’m here to support you in becoming the version of yourself you want to be. My background includes both a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Nursing from Walsh University, and I bring that clinical foundation into thoughtful, individualized care.

Therapist

I run Simply JST Counseling alongside my full-time work as a school counselor — which means I come to every therapy session with eyes wide open about what adolescents and young adults are actually dealing with, not just what gets reported in an intake form.

I'm a Black female LPC trained at Virginia State University, and I bring cultural awareness to my work — especially for clients navigating identity, community expectations, and the particular challenges of being a young person figuring things out in today's world. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors on anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, grief, substance use, and the complicated work of knowing yourself.

My approach is direct and warm — I hold you accountable and I hold space for you at the same time.

You replay conversations long after they're over. You shut down or say too much, then spend the day wishing you hadn't. You're not bad at relationships. You're anxious in them. You hold back. You give in to keep the peace, then quietly resent it. You want to be closer to the people you love. but something always gets in the way. It doesn't have to stay this way.
