I specialize in supporting other Black women navigating journeys of anticipatory grief and grief related to the loss of mother, father, spouse, child, and/or sibling through a unique combination of in-person nature-based walk and talk therapy and online integrative therapy.
I have been there. I know the suffering of unexpected loss on a personal level. I am also a doctoral level trained counseling psychologist who has maintained additional certifications in advanced grief counseling and clinical trauma since 2020. Possibly most important, spirituality is my highest value and at the core of all I am and all I do.

I also provide guidance for those coping with grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and the understanding and reprocessing of traumas.
We could all benefit from an outside perspective during life's stressors. I am here to listen, support, and empower you on your journey to clarity and making meaning from your experiences. Seeking support is a courageous step, not a sign of weakness.  Especially during the chaos, it can certainly be painful to feel lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of where to turn whether personally, professionally, or both.  My approach co-creates a judgment-free space where you can explore your challenges, uncover your inner strengths, and gently cultivate hope and resilience.

I specialize in treating OCD, trauma and PTSD, grief, anxiety, body image, relationship issues, stress, self-esteem, identity issues and life transitions adults face.
Accepting new clients. Living with OCD or the aftershocks of trauma can be exhausting. Your mind gets stuck in loops—intrusive thoughts, what-ifs, rituals, or memories that won’t let go. You keep pushing through, but instead feel trapped in anxiety, shame, or self-doubt. Perfectionism, people-pleasing, or emotional numbing may help short-term, but they leave you disconnected from the life you want. You can look capable on the outside and still feel stuck inside. You don’t have to do this alone. Together, we can build relief, resilience, and a way back to yourself.

Do you find yourself wanting to experience life and relationships differently? Wanting to feel more valued, connected, alive? Do you tend to keep things in, to try to figure everything out on your own, because that's what you learned was safe, or reliable, or necessary? Having the courage to ask for help and to show up as our imperfect self; letting others see us in all our messy and raw vulnerability - this is how we come to experience real healing and connection. Sharing our story in a safe space makes it easier to own its painful parts and gain freedom through letting go - and to find more trust in ourselves and inner peace.

Change can feel daunting and painful, but it can also open the door to growth. Therapy offers space to gain insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward the life you want. I help clients clarify concerns, set goals, and build practical strategies for change. Using CBT and EMDR, we explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, identify negative core beliefs, and replace them with more accurate, grounded perspectives. In addition, I specialize in caring for first responders, helping them to identify what’s getting in the way, set clear goals, and develop practical strategies for change.

If you’re constantly pushing yourself to meet high expectations - at work, in relationships, or just in life - it’s no wonder you feel worn thin. When everything feels urgent, even small things can feel like too much. You’re not broken for feeling this way - you’re human. I help people slow down, find steadiness in the chaos, and remember that rest doesn’t mean you’ve fallen behind. It means you’re making room for something better: balance, clarity, and a little more breathing space.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
