I believe that every child, parent, individual, and family has the capacity for change, wellness, and healing. I specialize in treating children, adolescents, young adults, and families who are struggling with relational and family issues, anxiety and stress, depression, life transitions, and behavioral challenges. I also have a particular passion for working with individuals who have experienced trauma including sexual and physical abuse, neglect, and issues with attachment including histories in foster care and adoption.

Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow.

Ever feel like you are holding a lot but those closest to you cannot see it? Are you a high achiever and driven but facing internal pressure, fatigue, and a constant need to hold it together for others?
I work with high-achieving professionals, particularly Black, Indigenous, and other individuals of color who are navigating burnout, identity, relationships, and the emotional weight that comes with being “the strong one.” Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to perform, filter, or shrink. We slow things down and explore ways to heal to find peace and balance in your everyday life.

One of my favorite quotes comes from Toni Morrison’s Beloved: “You are your best thing.” It’s a reminder that everything you need for growth and self-discovery is already within you. I’m here to support women of color on that journey. My goal is to create a space where real change and healing can happen; by building up self-acceptance, unlearning continuously running on fumes, or combating thoughts that you aren't enough. My approach is always rooted in self-acceptance and empowerment. This is your story. You are the expert in your own life—I’m here to support you, ask meaningful questions, and help you tap into your strengths.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. You might be navigating relationship stress, grief, a major life transition, or the pressure of always having to “hold it together.” You want clarity, emotional relief, and a space where you don’t have to explain or minimize your feelings. Your goal is to feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with yourself not just coping, but truly healing.

Perhaps you have been having difficulty trying to manage your symptoms. Maybe you struggle with depressed or anxious feelings and troubling thoughts. You may at times feel overwhelmed or paralyzed by what you are experiencing. You might even have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep because your mind has once again been hijacked by troubling thoughts. Try as you might, you have not been able to obtain much relief from these symptoms and feel it is time to call a professional to help.

It takes a lot of courage and vulnerability to enter therapy, especially with the specific intention of facing whatever led you to seeking services. Therapy is about getting to know yourself better, developing strategies for creating and maintaining life balance, integrating values into your lifestyle, and acquiring new skills that help you feel confident facing everyday experiences. If this is your first time entering therapy or you are returning for a new experience, I'd love to serve as a tool on your journey toward improvement.

Do you have a case of "Monkey Mind” over thinking or can’t stop thinking? Do you believe you are not enough? Are you feeling stuck and not sure how to move forward? Do you struggle with the funky blahs? I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist and Self Mastery Coach, and I am dedicated to helping women facilitate powerful change through joyful self-realization that aligns with their values and dreams.

Black women carry so much and are protected by so little. Our ideal clients tend to be high-achieving, caregiving people — often Black women — who've built their identity around being the reliable one, even as they quietly run on empty.
They come to us carrying burnout, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, and compassion fatigue. Our team helps them put that weight down, rebuild trust in themselves, and move forward with clarity, not just another coping strategy.

Every version of you was necessary! You had to work twice as hard, have it all together, and be strong. And yet, you’re silently overwhelmed. You’ve spent so much of your life emotionally overgiving at work, at home, and in your relationships that somewhere along the way, you lost yourself. Strong on the outside but hollow on the inside, you’ve started asking, “Who am I?” and “How did I get here?” Behind every strong woman is a story of pressure, sacrifice, and expectations that few people ever see.
Now what comes next is no longer survival. It’s the audacity to choose yourself unapologetically.

My ideal client knows why they are in therapy. They can verbalize the need for change and are not afraid to ask for help. My ideal client comes into each session ready to do the work, yet prepared for how tough it may be. My ideal client is vulnerable, yet strong; and knowledgeable, yet willing to listen. I strive to encourage you to be your best self, by gently challenging you, helping you get unstuck, and creating room for us to pinpoint your growth areas. I am excited for you to be better.

I believe that therapy should feel like a deep exhale. A space where you can show up as your authentic self and feel truly seen.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Sunbeam Therapy, my work is deeply rooted in my background as a Chicago school social worker and non-profit advocate. Throughout my career, I’ve walked alongside children, teens, and families as they navigate life's everyday challenges and strive for personal success. This journey shaped my therapeutic philosophy: to meet you exactly where you are with warmth, flexibility, and a deep respect for your unique story.

I see life as a series of moments in which we have opportunities to access, build, and reimagine various aspects of ourselves. Sometimes the events in our lives and the world around us can feel turbulent and overwhelming and on other occasions, we might feel a bit stuck. Navigating those challenging circumstances often leads us to unearth and tap into our personal and collective skills, strengths, and resources. As a part of your support system, I will provide a space where you can authentically express yourself, explore the vision for your life, and cultivate the skills and strategies to achieve your goals.

Relationships and life challenges can sometimes leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that are hard to change. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck in repeating patterns, or disconnected from the people who matter most. Maybe anxiety, stress, or life are weighing on you. Couples often come in feeling unheard, caught in the same arguments, or unsure how to reconnect. Others want to strengthen their relationship before marriage and build a healthier foundation. If you're looking for clarity and real tools to navigate challenges, therapy can help you understand what's happening and create meaningful change.
