If you're an adult or adolescent who is facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, or navigating significant life transitions we may be a good fit. I am able to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can openly express your thoughts and emotions without fear of being judged. I am a compassionate therapist who is committed to helping individuals understand their struggles and work towards meaningful change and personal growth.
As a female mental health professional, I understand the complex and unique nature of mental health challenges. I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches designed to help clients overcome obstacles and regain control over their lives. Through active listening, genuine empathy, and collaboration, I aim to foster resilience and lasting transformation.
My therapeutic style is characterized by engagement, directness, and thoughtfulness. In the initial phases of therapy, I prioritize establishing a strong therapeutic alliance and a comfortable environment where clients feel validated and understood. As an African American clinician, a woman, and a mother, I am attuned to cultural nuances.
