You may be lacking confidence, uncertain of what your next steps are, or are suffering with some form of anxiety or depression. Here you can learn about how to accept the past hurts, be intentional with the present moment, and prepare for the future. Come lost leave feeling seen, heard, and known. I seek to put you first, seeking out to meet your needs by mindful reflecting, strength building, positive relationships and constructive feedback, working together to unlock your full potential.
I am a Black counselor and Black mental performance coach. I have dual training in sports and performance psychology and finishing up my counseling degree. My mission is to provide holistic mental health services. This will be done by thoughtfully working with you to find what is preventing you from moving towards your best self!
Taking that first step is hard and reaching out for help is just as difficult. I appreciate you getting this far. Please email or call me and we can discuss what your goals are and how we can grow the best version of yourself.

I often use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in my practice. In our first session, I will spend time understanding why you came to therapy and developing an appropriate rapport. With ACT, we will spend time understanding values and how they affect your experiences. During our time together, you'll learn how to be mindful in all situations.
