I am in-network with Aetna, CareFirst, United Health Care and BCBS.
I specialize in supporting Black women and high-achieving professionals who feel trapped by anxiety, trauma, and the pressure to be "everything for everyone." You may be the one everyone turns to—the dependable, responsible daughter, friend, or partner—while quietly struggling to prioritize your own needs. Whether you identify as a "Good Daughter" navigating guilt and family dynamics or are managing the invisible toll of 'high-functioning' anxiety, I provide a compassionate, culturally affirming space for you to uncover, heal, and thrive

You don't have to figure this out all by yourself. I can help. It's a hard ask to find a way to be who you want to be and live the life you want to live without any help or support. It's unreasonable to expect ourselves to perfectly navigate all of the challenges of our relationships without needing some guidance. Sometimes working with a professional can make all the difference.

When we experience hurt, our minds often try to convince us to keep our lives small out of fear of failure, rejection, or abandonment. As your therapist, I recognize your potential to cultivate self-compassion and act from a place of empowerment. You have the opportunity to find emotional freedom and peace by engaging in a therapeutic process. This process involves increasing awareness of how the past influences your present self, allowing you to heal and integrate an old self, to embrace the here and now.

I sincerely believe one of the most courageous things you can do is to begin the work to understand your own story. Beginning the journey of therapy can be a daunting process but incredibly fulfilling and life changing; it can allow you to discover parts of yourself that you may not have known existed. I applaud you for making this courageous decision! In a safe and accepting space, I empower people to help themselves by using the expertise of their own life, guided by my formal training and clinical insights.
