When an individual seeks to rebuild, restore, and renew their perspective, attitude, and behavior they become empowered to obtain healing and wholeness. My purpose is to collaborate with clients on their journey to mental wellness by providing a safe, authentic, proactive, and empathetic environment. I work with adults and adolescents using cognitive behavioral technique (CBT), person centered, EMDR, Brainspotting, and a spiritual approach. My goal is to remind clients that they are worthy of living their best life. It starts by setting an intention to heal, maintaining hope, and knowing that they are worth the investment!

Are you ready to reclaim your peace, power, and purpose? Are you carrying the weight of generational expectations, societal pressures, and internalized messages that no longer serve you? As an established therapist, my passion lies in supporting African American women experiencing anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and the impact of past wounds.

I'm equally committed to keeping families together given the positive correlation between teen delinquency and broken families or single parents.

There are so many changes in your life - both big and small - that can bring about feelings of grief and loss. Navigating these changes can feel so overwhelming at times, sometimes beyond what you might feel capable of holding on your own. You may be in uncharted territory and wonder about the uncertainty of the road ahead. You are looking for ways to process past experiences, cope with the present, and manage future challenges.

I am passionate about working with professionals who feel they are "not good enough" or who worry about living up to others' expectations. We can work together to help you learn to love yourself for who you are and not what you accomplish. My clients are working on healing from emotional trauma, learning to understand their feelings and how to handle them, and improving relationship skills. After working with me, my clients are better able to express their feelings and needs in ways that help them grow closer to the people important to them.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
