Do you find yourself minimizing your feelings to keep the peace, feeling unheard, or carrying the weight of others’ expectations? Many of my clients are high‑functioning adults who feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in complicated family or relationship dynamics. Therapy can feel intimidating, especially if past experiences weren’t helpful. I offer a warm, collaborative, judgment‑free space where you can show up as your full self and begin reclaiming your voice and the direction of your life. Together, we’ll build the confidence, boundaries, and inner clarity you need to feel grounded and supported.

Welcome to your new creative, therapeutic space! I’m so glad you’re here. Life can be challenging, & navigating life after a traumatic experience or during a major transition can be especially difficult. It's easy to internalize our struggles for the sake of caring for others, often putting our needs on the back burner and denying ourselves support. But that lack of support can contribute to challenges that often negatively impact the quality of our relationships and the overall quality of our lives. These can be our relationships with co-workers, our relationships with intimate partners, and even our relationships with ourselves.

I also specialize in therapy, coaching, and support groups for Black Women Professionals.
As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I create a space where clients feel welcomed, seen, heard, and helped. In my work with adult individuals, couples, families, friendships, and groups, I support healthy relationships with self and others, and I help clients elicit strengths-based responses to life challenges. The term “strengths-based” shifts the focus away from deficits alone toward processes that identify existing assets and assumes people and their relationships have the capacity to cope with challenges, grow through experiences, and create meaningful, transformative changes that foster well-being and flourishing.

FAQ - Black and African American Counselling
As an African American, why might I wish to see a therapist who is African American?
Working with an African American therapist can often mean that you start from a place of shared understanding with a therapist rather than having to explain your experience from scratch. A therapist who shares your racial identity is more likely to understand the specific pressures shaping your mental health, including navigating racism, cultural identity, and the overall experience of being Black in the United States. They are also more likely to understand the role that family, community, and cultural expectations play in your life without requiring a lengthy explanation. This shared foundation can create a greater sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship and make it easier to open up at the start of therapy.
Are there Black therapists who specialize in working with Black men or Black women?
Yes, many Black therapists have specific experience working with Black men or Black women. While therapists who work with Black clients broadly address concerns relevant to all genders, like anxiety or depression, those with a gender-specific focus are equipped to work with you on the particular ways that race and gender may intersect. For example, some therapists may specialize in working with Black women on topics like body image or maternal mental health, while other therapists may work with Black men on topics such as relationships or masculinity.
Do Black therapists offer marriage and couples counseling?
Yes, many Black therapists are trained in couples and marriage counseling and can work with partners navigating a wide range of relationship challenges. Therapists who identify as Black may have a better understanding of the cultural dynamics surrounding marriage, family roles, and conflict that are specific to African American communities and can work with you and your partner without making assumptions about your background.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with Black clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, is the right time to raise a therapist’s experience working with Black clients. You can ask specific questions, such as "Do you have experience working with Black clients?" or more broad questions, such as "How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?". During the initial consultation, you can also ask whether they have undertaken training in cultural competence and how they would handle a situation where a cultural misunderstanding arose in therapy. A therapist who responds to these questions thoughtfully and without defensiveness is a good sign they are equipped to work with you effectively.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Black therapists?
The directory of Black therapists includes therapists who have self-identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profile, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. In situations where the number of therapists who have identified as Black is limited, the directory will also show therapists who have undergone specific multicultural training or have extensive experience working with clients from relevant cultural backgrounds.
