Feeling out of balance? Do things seem out of order in your life? Everyone needs a supportive space to process challenges of daily life and figure out how to cope with stress. I am dedicated to meeting the individual needs of each and every client, by developing a healthy relationship together and being an active listener to each client's unique story. My therapeutic approach is anchored in an integration of understanding how your past experiences have impacted your present situations, the healing aspects of telling your narrative, and finding solutions through a culturally meaningful lens.
As a clinical psychologist, I have experience in working with both adults and adolescents presenting with concerns of depression, anxiety, family conflict, identity dilemmas, break-ups, work stress, academic concerns, and spirituality. I have particular speciality in working with "millennials" and addressing the stressors of "adulting."
For those interested, I have developed a technique entitled "PsychoHairapy" to use hair as an entry point into mental health services. As a hairstylist and psychologist, I have developed culturally sensitive approaches to address coping with hair loss, hair dissatisfaction, and healthy transitioning, by focusing on the relationship between hair care and self-care.

Groups
Group Therapy for Black Women
We do not heal in isolation. Many people are turning to group therapy to make sense of the global health pandemic, racial injustices, and violence against women. It’s a lot to handle by yourself. Each meeting, we’ll get together for 90 minutes to center ourselves before initiating in communal dialogue to support and give feedback to one another. If you identify as a Black woman and know you’re in need of a space like this, join us virtually October 5th to December 14th on Wednesdays at 7:00pm-8:30pm (est). Space is limited to 8 members.
