Let's Connect (804) 676-6317
I'm a LCSW with over 6 years of experience in behavioral health and more than 3 years in clinical practice. My work is grounded in trauma-informed principles, with specialized training in EMDR (through EMDRIA), and a strong focus on treating trauma, eating disorders, and identity-related stress.
Whether you're navigating a major life shift, carrying the weight of trauma, or seeking a space to reconnect with yourself, you deserve care that sees all of you—not just your symptoms. I provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed therapy for individuals and families who are ready to explore healing with depth, intention, and support.
Whether you're struggling with emotional pain, relationship patterns, or systemic challenges, I bring a steady, collaborative presence to help you find clarity, resilience, and peace.
As a Black woman therapist, I understand the power of holding space that honors cultural identity, generational wisdom, and the complexities of real-life healing.
My approach integrates evidence-based care with a deep respect for your lived experience—because healing isn’t just about what’s clinical, it’s also about what’s human.
You don’t have to cross this threshold alone. Let’s move toward healing, together.
