As a cisgender African American woman and trauma-informed therapist, I bring both lived experience and clinical expertise to create a safe, supportive space for healing and growth. I offer a collaborative, compassionate, and culturally responsive approach grounded in CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy. I've had the privilege of working with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, life transitions, identity exploration, and systemic challenges. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood and empowered, and to help you develop sustainable tools that align with your values, your pace, and your vision for change.
I take a collaborative, goal-oriented approach rooted in CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy. My style is affirming, holistic, and culturally responsive, meeting you where you are, without judgment.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, stressful, or isolating,but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to help you build the future you deserve through consistency, healthy habits, and meaningful self-discovery. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, deepen your understanding of who you are. I’d be honored to support you on your healing journey

ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and self-care are some of the methods I combine in my therapeutic practice. Instead of fighting against their thoughts and feelings, ACT assists individuals in accepting them. It also emphasizes how activities should be in line with one's values, which can motivate and give one a sense of purpose.
