Do you struggle with unresolved patterns or feel trapped in a cycle you can’t break? As a therapist with personal experience in long-term recovery and a background in award-winning treatment centers, I specialize in helping individuals heal from addiction, trauma, and co-occurring disorders. I offer an integrated, evidence-based approach designed to help you create lasting change and live a more meaningful, fulfilling life.
I incorporate powerful modalities like DBT, Gestalt, IFS, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy to help you break free from addiction, navigate relationship challenges, and heal from trauma. Together, we’ll work toward creating meaningful change and helping you feel more in control of your life.
As an African American therapist specializing in addiction recovery and trauma therapy, my passion lies in supporting each client’s unique journey toward healing and personal growth. I provide culturally sensitive, evidence-based care to help individuals break free from painful cycles and reclaim their lives.
