You're smart, self-aware, and probably the one your friends turn to for advice. But lately? You’re running on empty—anxious, unsure, maybe even asking yourself, What am I doing with my life? Whether you’re navigating college, family pressure, identity questions, or just trying to like yourself more, therapy can be a space to finally exhale. As a Black woman and therapist, I create a space where you don’t have to over-explain or tone things down. We’ll work together to untangle self-doubt, reconnect with your strengths, and help you move through the world with more confidence, clarity, and self-trust.
I specialize in working with BIPOC young adults and college students who feel stuck, self-critical, or unsure of who they are. My style is real, compassionate, and honest—I won’t sugarcoat, but I will support you every step of the way. Together we’ll build tools to navigate relationships, anxiety, and those late-night “What now?” spirals.
With over a decade of experience, I blend CBT, strengths-based work, and culturally affirming care. I believe healing isn’t linear and growth doesn’t have to be perfect. Whether you’re tired of imposter syndrome or just want to stop second-guessing yourself, I’m here to help you own your story and move forward with purpose.
