A Therapist Who Gets It

I’m a therapist who believes in the endless potential of people when they feel safe, supported, deeply understood—and also gently challenged. I encourage my clients to explore the patterns that keep them stuck and build tools for navigating what may be outside of their control. I work with parents seeking support and skills around parenting stressors, children and teens navigating challenging developmental years, and adults who are ready to show up for themselves after holding it all together for everyone else.

As a Black therapist, I bring an understanding of how culture, identity, and systemic stressors shape our experiences and mental health. I hold space for those experiences with care and honesty. I strive to create a therapeutic space that feels grounded, affirming, and human—where you don’t have to perform or minimize who you are in order to heal.

Prior to starting my private practice, I provided care in community and hospital settings, working with children, adolescents, and families. I have expertise in childhood mental health and parent coaching, and I bring that knowledge into my work with adult clients as well— building insight into present-day patterns and behaviors.

My inspiration for this work is deeply personal. It grew from reflecting on my own history and recognizing how meaningful a supportive space like this could have been for so many loved ones as I was growing up—including myself.

We’re all living life for the first time, and we can all benefit from dedicated, non-judgmental support and guidance. I invite you to stop shrinking yourself or avoiding the struggles you carry. I’m here to help you uncover the confidence and clarity to face whatever life brings your way.

Clinical Experience and Approach

I have been trained in and/or have experience with therapeutic interventions including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Play Therapy, Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), Parent Management Training (PMT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy and Somatic Therapy techniques.

My therapeutic style is integrative, combining skills and techniques from various therapy models to curate an intervention that is specific to your needs. I do not believe therapy is a one-size-fits-all. Rather than only focusing on your symptoms at the surface, together we identify patterns, safely explore the root cause and consider all factors that contribute to your mental health. My approach in the therapeutic space is compassionate and attentive, while being direct and genuine.
