Ready to make a change? Are you a Teen, College Student, or Young Adult under 35 feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, or depressed? Maybe life feels like too much, and you're asking, “What do I do now?” You may be frustrated, as new situations and challenges have started to pile up - causing you to feel like you have “too much on your plate." As a Black Female Therapist, I help clients manage stress, identity issues, and life transitions with care and cultural understanding. Services include Immigration Evaluations, ESA letters, and I provide clinical supervision for pre-licensed therapists seeking hours for licensure.
As a therapist who specializes in supporting those experiencing significant life transitions, I’ll work with you to reduce the anxiety and stress often associated with ‘adulting.’ As your therapist, I will create a safe space for you to vent your frustrations, explore next steps, and create measurable therapeutic goals to track your implementation progress.
If you are reading this bio and saying internally (or externally, lol) “This is me!”, you are in the right place. I am excited to help you transition and process the forever changing and complex dynamics of Adulthood. When you are ready, let’s connect! I invite you to send me an email or visit my website to schedule a free 15-minute consultation!
