My clients are who you see when you look in the mirror. I serve individuals, families, groups and businesses in underserved communities that have barriers to building and living a healthy life due to very real socioeconomic inequities - leading to Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Anger, Fear and much more. In addition to my private practice, I am honored to provide services through Nia Counseling & Consulting Services, a boutique group psychotherapy practice in Manchester, CT. Nia is the fifth principle of Kwaanzaa, which focuses on working collectively to restore people and communities to their traditional greatness
I use evidence based interventions that are culturally sensitive and include an important apect of health that many other clinicians gloss over. Collective economic well-being in underserved communities is a major building block of better health outcomes.
If you've been trying, with no success, to break unhealthy, impulsive habits leading to frustration. Consider individual session with me, or join one of my workshops in the commuinity.

My vision is one of self worth built on self identity. This is why I have chosen an identity that is unique as it captures my academic path and cultural grace. I identify myself as a CSWAN (Clinical Social Worker and Nurse) - in the making. Blessings!
