I am passionate about working with teens, adults, couples, and families. I aim to create a collaborative, empowering space that fosters self-discovery and vulnerability. I believe in tailoring treatment to your unique needs using evidence-based practices rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. With transparency and empathy, I hope our therapeutic relationship is a vehicle for healing that centers community and emphasizes your strengths.
As a Black woman, I prioritize cultural humility, anti-racism, and gender affirmation in my practice, highlighting how systemic inequalities affect our paths to wellness. My clinical and research interests focus on decolonizing therapeutic practices for marginalized communities.
My practice is trauma-informed and compassionate, supporting you through life transitions, relational concerns, and the nuanced complexities that trauma can bring. I would love the opportunity to join you on your wellness journey. Let’s connect!
