Emotional growth is best nurtured from a compassionate, encouraging, and non-judgmental perspective. In today’s society, the expectations put on us can be quite demanding, and many times, unrealistic. As a wife and a mother, I understand how agonizing it can be to constantly ask myself, “Am I enough?” Challenging negative thoughts, though it may be difficult, is worth the risk. Living a fulfilling, happy, and productive life is priceless.

Compassionate support for moms navigating anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, or life's transitions. Motherhood changes everything – your identity, your relationships, your priorities. I believe therapy can be a gentle place to rediscover yourself and reconnect with what matters most. Together we’ll make sense of what's weighing on you and find ways to feel more grounded and confident in this life stage. When navigating loss or change, therapy can be a space to breathe, heal, feel supported, and reconnect with yourself.

We learn, develop meaning and create a sense of purpose through each other and the relationships we form. In the same spirit I believe the therapeutic process is driven by the relationship formed between the client and the therapist. This is why my approach in therapy is guided by creating an empathic, nonjudgmental atmosphere where you feel safe and empowered to work toward personal growth and creating lasting change.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your true self? You might be going through a significant life transition, dealing with anxiety or depression, or struggling with self-worth in a world that often ignores your needs. Women of color, especially Black women, often bear the weight of unspoken expectations, past traumas, and cultural burdens that affect their mental and emotional well-being. You deserve a space where you can be seen, heard, and supported on your own terms.
