Welcome! My approach to wellness is founded on compassion for the authentic self and attunement to the body's response to emotional states. For adults, the echoes of childhood abuse, neglect, abandonment, and complicated attachment can create turbulence in our adult bodies, minds, identity, and relationships.

My ideal client is often at a life crossroads, feeling "stuck" or weathered by major transitions. They struggle with identity, anxiety, or the weight of being the "strong one" for others. They need a sanctuary where vulnerability is met with warmth and structured coping skills. Their goal is to move beyond simply surviving and begin intentionally authoring their future. They want to reclaim their agency and understand the deeper patterns of their story so they can finally live a more authentic, vibrant life—not just for others, but for themselves.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. For some, that looks like anxiety that won’t quiet down, stress that feels constant, or emotions that are hard to manage. For others, it shows up in their child, behavior changes, school struggles, or emotional ups and downs that leave you feeling worried and unsure how to help. Whether you’re reaching out for yourself or your child, it often starts with the sense that something isn’t working and it’s time for support.

Having traveled extensively has provided a world view which I am able to incorporate in working with my elders. I'm a firm believer that everybody has the capacity to change.

I have a long-standing interest in how our past echoes forward into our present. It is evident how critical early development is in terms of our moods, relationships, and distinctive personalities. I have developed tools for working with people to untangle the past from present so that there is more room for transformation in the future.

FAQ - Black and African American Counselling
As an African American, why might I wish to see a therapist who is African American?
Working with an African American therapist can often mean that you start from a place of shared understanding with a therapist rather than having to explain your experience from scratch. A therapist who shares your racial identity is more likely to understand the specific pressures shaping your mental health, including navigating racism, cultural identity, and the overall experience of being Black in the United States. They are also more likely to understand the role that family, community, and cultural expectations play in your life without requiring a lengthy explanation. This shared foundation can create a greater sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship and make it easier to open up at the start of therapy.
Are there Black therapists who specialize in working with Black men or Black women?
Yes, many Black therapists have specific experience working with Black men or Black women. While therapists who work with Black clients broadly address concerns relevant to all genders, like anxiety or depression, those with a gender-specific focus are equipped to work with you on the particular ways that race and gender may intersect. For example, some therapists may specialize in working with Black women on topics like body image or maternal mental health, while other therapists may work with Black men on topics such as relationships or masculinity.
Do Black therapists offer marriage and couples counseling?
Yes, many Black therapists are trained in couples and marriage counseling and can work with partners navigating a wide range of relationship challenges. Therapists who identify as Black may have a better understanding of the cultural dynamics surrounding marriage, family roles, and conflict that are specific to African American communities and can work with you and your partner without making assumptions about your background.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with Black clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, is the right time to raise a therapist’s experience working with Black clients. You can ask specific questions, such as "Do you have experience working with Black clients?" or more broad questions, such as "How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?". During the initial consultation, you can also ask whether they have undertaken training in cultural competence and how they would handle a situation where a cultural misunderstanding arose in therapy. A therapist who responds to these questions thoughtfully and without defensiveness is a good sign they are equipped to work with you effectively.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Black therapists?
The directory of Black therapists includes therapists who have self-identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profile, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. In situations where the number of therapists who have identified as Black is limited, the directory will also show therapists who have undergone specific multicultural training or have extensive experience working with clients from relevant cultural backgrounds.
