Black and African American Therapists in Durham, NC

Clients who seek my services embrace spiritually-integrated counseling and therapy, which combines empirically-based interventions with spiritual resources in their journey of transformation. Despite the different reasons that bring clients to therapy, all of them need a safe space to unravel the problematic narratives of their lives, embrace the possibility of new futures, and learn new practices that help strengthen personal and communal bonds.

As an Ordained Minister for 23 years and licensed counselor for 5 yrs I'm deeply passionate about integrating faith and psychology to offer holistic healing and support to individuals navigating life's challenges. My journey towards becoming a counselor rooted in Christian principles has been deeply personal and transformative, shaping both my professional approach and personal convictions. Through many seasons of darkness and uncertainty, it was my faith that provided me with hope, strength, and resilience. These experiences ignited within me a desire to walk alongside others on their own journeys towards healing and wholeness.

Life can be difficult. We all face challenges, whether it's dealing with a difficult situation at work, going through a tough break-up, or coping with the death of a loved one. It can be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when we're facing these challenges. But there is help available. I’m dedicated to assisting you with your life goals and helping you find a healthy way to process your past traumas to live out your best future. By utilizing an eclectic approach to therapy, I aim to provide a safe and supportive space where I can collaborate to help you reach your desired goals.

Trauma leaves us feeling worthless, broken, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up not knowing who you are outside of your relationship, or guilt over what happened to you. You may not remember how you got here. Either way, one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to live in the moment and enjoy meaningful relationships without being triggered by your past. You're ready to wake up each morning with purpose. Most of all, you're ready to heal and love yourself again and face your future head on with a sense of hope and I can help you get there.

Teletherapy ONLY - Life can be a roller coaster! Everyone goes through periods of highs and lows, take on twists and turns, and at times we come to a screeching halt. That halt comes when we realize that the challenge we're facing cannot be faced alone and we come to understand that we may need a little help getting back on track. I can provide a comfortable, confidential, and non-judgmental environment for you to explore what YOU need out of life. I will be there to support you, provide perspective, and empower you to determine what is needed for you to maintain being your best self.

Sometimes we find ourselves in a repetitive cycle and search for ways to get unstuck. It can be overwhelming and hard especially since there is no magic one size fits all solution. Sometimes we are faced with the stress of stigma that comes with these struggles and the many identities that we hold. This can leave us feeling like we have nowhere to turn and no one safe to connect with who understands. It can be hard to navigate that journey on your own. Allow me to be that safe and confidential resource that works with you to identify the tools and develop the skills to move towards progress and break the cycle.
