I specialize in working with high-achieving Black women, neurodivergent adults, individuals navigating mood and personality disorders, and couples of color seeking greater connection, communication, and healing. Many of my clients are successful in their careers, education, or personal lives, yet struggle with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, identity concerns, or the pressure of constantly having to "hold it all together."
I draw from relational and systemic approaches to help clients develop insight, build coping skills, and create lasting change. I also recognize that mental health does not exist in isolation. Family dynamics, cultural experiences, systemic barriers, relationships, and societal expectations all influence how we experience ourselves and the world around us!
I strive to provide culturally responsive, affirming care that honors the complexity of each client's lived experience. Together, we will identify patterns that may no longer serve you, build upon your strengths, and develop practical strategies that support your goals both inside and outside of therapy.
