Seeking support isn’t always easy, and reaching out can feel vulnerable. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk openly about life’s challenges and experiences. My goal is to help reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness by normalizing what you’re going through and providing a thoughtful perspective. I believe everyone has inherent worth and value, and throughout our work together, I aim to help you better recognize and trust your own. Looking forward to going on this journey with you!
As a trained sport social worker, I have the ability to provide extensive support to athletes. I approach clients with a rich perspective that can address most needs (i.e. transition, identity, anxiety, depression, injury, pain, among other sport related issues. Increasingly, I am a clinician that has experience with African-centered social work.
Additionally, if you are seeking support from someone authentic and genuine with their approach, we can provide a safe space for yourself to learn and grow.

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my work. In our first session, we'll explore what has brought you to therapy and collaboratively determine which approaches best support your goals and readiness. Using CBT, we'll examine patterns of thinking, where they may have developed, and how they influence emotions and daily experiences.
