I draw primarily on ACT, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and mindfulness-based research.
Relax. This is a space where you don't have to mask, perform, or be "on." We focus on what's actually happening, and build skills that work day-to-day, not just talk. Many of my clients are thoughtful and self-aware but still feel stuck, even when they know what should help I work with individuals dealing with anxiety, burnout, ADHD, autism, and life transitions like career shifts, relationship changes, and self-esteem. I'm ADHD-CCSP certified and provide affirming care for LGBTQ+ clients.

My ideal client is someone who has spent much of their life holding it all together, often in silence. They may be grieving, navigating anxiety, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them—despite years of effort. Many are healing from emotionally unavailable parenting, childhood trauma, or recent loss. They want to feel more present, connected, and at ease in their relationships and within themselves. Most of all, they’re ready to begin understanding not just why they feel this way, but how to truly heal.

My practice is one that lives within two philosophies— meeting you where you are and finding a place of supportive confrontation. You have a story, and my goal is to navigate through that narrative collaboratively and with curiosity while emphasizing your unique strengths. The supportive confrontation is a challenge to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. Often, attempting something new and facing a fear can inspire change, and that's where we begin our work together. Our sessions are a commitment to bravery when investigating those external and internal influences that slow or prevent the change process from occuring.

As a licensed clinical psychologist since 2000 I have worked primarily with adolescents and adults living with HIV and other chronic health conditions in the US, Asia, and Africa. I also work with young adults who struggle with navigating identities based on race, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation. My clinical approach is shaped by my research and teaching at Howard University, DC where I serve as faculty in the Department of Psychology. I care deeply about what the science says - but even more about how it plays out in everyday life.

I blend a cognitive-behavioral and insight-oriented approach to address immediate problems and explore their origins.
Do you find it hard to close your laptop or turn off work notifications, even when the day is technically over? Does your body still feel buzzing with unused energy, like you are bracing for the next email or request? Even during downtime, it can feel difficult to truly relax or step out of work mode. Many of the women I work with feel pressure to stay constantly available, struggle to say no, and worry about being seen as incompetent or unreliable if they slow down. That fear of dropping the ball often leads to overworking, people pleasing, and emotional exhaustion, even when things are going well professionally.

I use a variety of treatment types including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused strategies, Mindfulness, and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/tapping) to address presenting concerns.
My ideal clients are ready to acknowledge where they are in life, willing to dream and define how they want their life to look (and feel) and committed to taking action to close the gap to move boldly to their desired life. Prepared to "do the work", they enter our partnership authentically and ego-free with the understanding it is OK (and sometimes pretty great) to be free of having ALL of the answers. Approaching our work, I encourage a beginner's mind, willingness to explore various strategies, practices, and approaches to determine what speaks to you most. You get to decide.
