I specialize in supporting Black women and high-achieving professionals who feel trapped by anxiety, trauma, and the pressure to be "everything for everyone." You may be the one everyone turns to—the dependable, responsible daughter, friend, or partner—while quietly struggling to prioritize your own needs. Whether you identify as a "Good Daughter" navigating guilt and family dynamics or are managing the invisible toll of 'high-functioning' anxiety, I provide a compassionate, culturally affirming space for you to uncover, heal, and thrive
Together, we’ll uncover the emotional wounds and limiting beliefs beneath the surface—the unspoken burdens you’ve carried for too long. Using a trauma-informed, integrative approach, I honor your unique experiences. Together, we’ll break free from perfectionism, set boundaries, and help you reconnect with your authentic, empowered self.
In therapy, we will work together to redefine your worth, reclaim your voice, and create a life rooted in joy, peace, and fulfillment. I’ll walk alongside you on your healing journey, offering the support and tools you need to thrive unapologetically. You don’t have to do this alone—together, we’ll help you feel seen, heard, and free.

In my practice, I use an integrative, humanistic approach that includes somatic techniques to connect mind and body. Together, we'll build self-awareness, foster a strong therapeutic relationship, and explore deeper layers of your experience. Using empathy, gentle confrontation, and storytelling, we'll bridge the gap between who you are and the empowered person you aspire to be.
