I'm a licensed therapist who works with people navigating anxiety, life transitions, and the general chaos that can come with being a human, especially during big seasons of change like parenthood, relationship shifts, graduations, or just feeling like you're not quite where you thought you'd be.

I'm warm, honest, and very much a real person in the room with you. Therapy with me is supportive, but also practical and grounded in real life.

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.
