Finding a therapist is a major step toward healing, and I’m here to support you on your journey. As a licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in working with individuals (ages 10 and up) and families navigating grief, trauma, addictions, anxiety, & depression. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need a space to process life’s challenges, I provide a safe, down-to-earth Telehealth environment where we can work together to create real change.
I own a private practice and all of our clinicians are women of color.
I offer individual counseling as well as family therapy. I have been married for nearly 10 years and my husband and I have a blended family. Strengthening, and keeping families together as well as breaking generational curses is always my goal whenever a family comes to my office.
At Kirkwood Therapy we believe in meeting people we understand that life's challenges can be overwhelming at times. We are here to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, and supported. Together, we will work towards healing, growth, and the brighter future you deserve.
