It is my mission to provide effective counseling that is authentic, empathetic and non-judgmental. Increasing awareness of mental health in the black community is a must. I am focused on addressing the impact of primary an secondary trauma in black communities, so that those in need of support know they are not alone. As a supervisor I am also Currently providing supervision to those seeking licensure as a professional counselor.

I am passionate about helping couples create deeper connection than they ever knew possible. I also enjoy working with individuals in all stages of life. My favorite moments are when a client says, "This is new." Many enter counseling feeling stuck in old patterns, and new experiences provide hope for healing. My practice is currently full for regular weekly clients. However, I specialize in 3-day weekend intensives with couples and I take on 1-2 new couples (from in- or out-of-state) per month for this work. Follow up work is required after the 3 days in order to continue momentum and create lasting change.

I have a great passion for the world of therapy and all it has to offer for individuals. Life sometimes brings forth challenges and situations that may make us feel broken and hopeless. I believe that hope is the beginning process of healing. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment for all individuals that may feel stuck in their lives and help them move forward through processing. I enjoy being creative in therapy and making the process of therapy self centered. "Where there is Hope there is Healing and where there is Healing there is Strength".

I help you create more of the life you want, one that feels better and is more personally satisfying. I work with trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, boundaries, narcissistic wounding, somatic issues, & other obstacles that keep you from thriving. Clients often reach out to me because they're feeling anxious, panicky, isolated, frustrated in relationships, stuck in perfectionism or people-pleasing, sad, unlike their usual selves, or desire for a deeper level of healing. If you want a collaborator to help you find your own unique way and provide practical strategies with a deep healing approach, I may be your person.

Overwhelmed and stressed by the thought of being "Superwoman" again? Time after time, you find yourself rescuing others and putting others before you. Leaving absolutely no time for yourself. Tired of constantly being the "Strong One?" Leaving yourself feeling drained and unfulfilled. At work, you go above and beyond but it goes unnoticed. At home, your days are filled with tasks that take up your entire day but you still feel unappreciated. Personally, you have told yourself that staying busy, overextending yourself and being the "Strong One" equals your success, value and worth.
