Did you know that there are only 4% of African American therapists in the United States and I fall into that category.

While my primary expertise lies in children's mental health, I also have a strong foundation in working with adults. My dedication stems from a profound belief in the importance of providing culturally competent and relatable mental health support, particularly for underrepresented communities. I am committed to creating a safe space where individuals can thrive.

It takes a village to raise children and I am honored to be a resource for families during their journey.
