I work with clients who are high-functioning on the outside but overwhelmed inside—struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief or trauma. I specialize in working with Black women, people of color, and LGBTQIA+. I blend clinical expertise—diagnosis, medication management—with down-to-earth holistic care, including expressive art therapy, and other mind-body tools. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. Whether we’re working one-on-one or in a group, I help clients feel safe, seen, and supported.
Kindly note: I do not prescribe benzodiazepines (such as Ativan or Valium) or sedative-hypnotic medications (such as Ambien or Lunesta). These medications can be helpful in specific short-term situations, but due to their potential for dependence and limited long-term benefit, I focus on safer, evidence-based alternatives to support lasting wellness.
You don’t have to hold it all together alone. If you're feeling stuck, exhausted, or like no one truly sees what you're carrying, you're not broken—and you're not too much. I'm here to listen, guide, and walk with you at your pace. When you're ready, I’d be honored to support your healing.

I am a dual-certified family and psychiatric NP, I bridge the gap between traditional psychiatric care and holistic healing. My approach is rooted in science, compassion, and cultural competency. I understand that mental wellness is not just about medication, it's about healing from within.
