Are you feeling weighed down by depression, anxiety, or a quiet sense that you’re not enough, despite doing everything you can to hold it together?
Are you overwhelmed by anxiety or caregiver responsibilities? Feeling stuck in old patterns that keep you from enjoying life?
I help adults build confidence, navigate transitions, and find meaningful relief from stress and self-doubt.
I work especially with women and people of color navigating cultural stress and self-esteem challenges, as well as caregivers who are exhausted from balancing emotional responsibilities and their own well-being.
I was raised on Chicago’s West Side by a devoted single mother who emphasized the importance of education and perseverance. These early experiences inspired my path into the helping profession. As a Black woman, I bring cultural awareness and lived experience into my work, allowing me to thoughtfully support clients as they navigate life’s challenges.
Clients often report feeling more confident, understood, and equipped with practical tools they can use immediately after sessions. You don’t have to continue navigating these challenges alone. With the right support, it’s possible to better understand yourself, strengthen your sense of self-worth, and feel more grounded in your daily life.

Face the Fears of Your Flaws Workshop
This is a 4-part workshop series designed for women who are ready to challenge self-doubt, soften their inner critic, & heal with hurt parts. Participants will explore how self-perception can be reshaped with compassion, clarity, and authenticity. Each workshop builds upon the last, guiding participants through a journey of self-discovery: understanding the influence of the past, grounding in the present, envisioning the future, and learning how to nurture the Self with greater self-trust and acceptance. While each session can be attended individually, participating in all four offers the most comprehensive and transformative experience.
