I'm so glad you're here! I have 15 years of experience providing therapy to people such as caregivers of loved ones living with Alzheimer's disease, women, BIPOC and the LGBTQIA+ community. Are you feeling uncertain, helpless or out of control? Do you want to get rid of imposter syndrome or learn how to love yourself? Connect with me to learn how to get past barriers to healing. I have experience working with people attempting to cope with many concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, grief, relational issues, career & work situations, self-esteem and caregiver stress. Let's unlock your potential, together.
I was born and raised on the Westside of Chicago by a wonderful, dedicated single mother. She instilled in me the importance of education. I knew early on that I wanted to be in a helping profession. Navigating life as a black woman comes with many unique challenges. I chose this profession to support and guide others.
My professional background and life experience has prepared me to help guide you through life's most difficult challenges. I have lost many loved ones and continue to learn how to live with grief. I am also a mom to a toddler. Motherhood has proven to be one of the most beautiful and challenging experiences of my life.
