I help successful Black women finally have a space where you don't have to hold it all together. You can say the quiet parts out loud, unpack what's really going on beneath the surface, and begin healing from the patterns that no longer serve you.

I have over 10 years of experience working with clients and hold a Master’s Degree in Christian Counseling from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Charlotte, NC.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low self-worth, relational challenges, emotional and physical exhaustion, or the weight of past experiences? You don’t have to navigate this healing journey by yourself. Reaching out for help takes courage, and I strive to offer a safe, compassionate space where you can slow down, be heard, and begin to heal. I believe true wellness involves mind, body, and spirit, and I thoughtfully integrate faith into counseling for those who desire it. Using EMDR and integrative approaches, I help clients gently process trauma, reduce emotional distress, and move forward with greater peace, joy, and hope.

The Haven is a relaxed, nonjudgemental, and warm environment that provides honesty and a soft place to land where people can be vulnerable when things get tough and the reality of your life hits hard.

As a Christian therapist, I want to walk with you through this healing journey.
Being a young adult can come with many challenges from deciding on a career, relationships, finances, body image, and a host of other challenges. Let’s unpack via motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, solution focused approach, and other tailored modalities that fit your needs.

Are you questioning a relationship, feeling stuck in a job, or noticing patterns you can’t seem to break? You might be successful in many areas of life, yet still carrying unresolved trauma, self-doubt, or pressure to “figure it all out.” I help young professionals who look like they have it together on the outside, but internally feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure about what they want for the future. Adulthood can bring many transitions, whether it be moving, career changes, navigating dating, or redefining friendships. These changes often feel isolating and destabilizing. Therapy can help!

Many people who come to therapy feel overwhelmed by life transitions, constant overthinking, anxiety, and the pressure to keep everyone else happy. They’re the ones everyone counts on the helpers, the people pleasers who struggle to say no and often feel exhausted or disconnected from their own needs. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. As a therapist, I help people navigate these challenges with compassion and clarity. Together, we work on building healthier boundaries, managing anxiety, and developing a deeper sense of self-acceptance so you can show up for your life in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.

My clients appear confident, caring and in control but deep down they are silently struggling to keep it together. They may be fed up with being everyone's "rock", feeling riddled with frustration and anxiety, or wondering who they are outside of all the "hats" being worn. They may not remember a time things didn’t feel this way. One thing is for sure: they're ready for relief. They come ready to release the things that they've been holding in. They're ready to unhook from the cycle of burnout, numb out, repeat. Most of all, they're ready to step into an authentic relationship with themselves, life & those around them.

People commonly say life is a journey full of ups and downs, but sometimes we feel our journey is only going down. We are left feeling lost, trapped, and in pain. Sadly, we do not always have the help or the resources to get through these moments due to various circumstances in our life. Therapy is not a fix-all solution, but it can be the catalyst to taking steps out of what can feel like a bottomless pit and give us the strength to face our problems. I hope that I can be a steadfast presence for support through whatever you are experiencing and help you find your path through your darkest of valleys.

Living with deep hurt, isolation, and emotional exhaustion feels overwhelming and lonely. If you're ready to face life’s challenges with more hope, connection, and wholeness, I’m here to help.

My ideal client is an adult woman, often in her 20s to 60+. She has spent most of her life taking care of others. She is a professional, a wife, a mother, a caregiver, or a woman juggling multiple roles. On the outside, she appears capable and responsible, but on the inside, she feels emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from herself.
I work with women experiencing anxiety, depression, and/or PTSD, often shaped by unresolved trauma, chronic stress, or long-standing relational patterns. Even if they don’t call it trauma, they feel the emotional weight of unresolved issues that continue to affect their daily lives

My primary goal as your counselor is to create a safe, accepting, and comfortable environment where we work collaboratively to meet your needs and goals.

Christian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
