You’ve been strong for everyone else. Now it’s time to be supported.
As Black and Brown women, we often carry a quiet weight—always showing up, always pushing through. The world praises our strength, but rarely asks how we’re really doing.
This expectation known as the Superwoman Schema can leave us feeling isolated, emotionally exhausted, and unseen. It tells us we have to do it all, all the time.
You don’t have to live that way.
My counseling practice is a space where you can exhale.
Where you don’t have to explain your culture, code-switch your emotions, or shrink your truth.
Here, your whole self is welcomed.

Many clients tell me they feel stuck in the same emotional patterns no matter how hard they try. I get it, I’ve spent years helping people understand why anxiety and depression keep repeating themselves. My background includes hospital leadership, teaching future therapists, and thousands of hours working with real people facing real struggles. I use that experience to make therapy feel steady, safe, and purposeful. Together we uncover how old roles shaped you and how to finally step into something new.

I use an integrative approach to therapy using: Person Centered, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Solution Focused, Motivational Interviewing, DBT informed and Narrative therapy.

I truly believe that everyone is doing the best they can in the moment and hope to be a part of your journey.

I became a therapist because I have found that helping others is one of the greatest privileges afforded to a person. For me, working with people experiencing difficulty is a both a passion and a calling. My sense of purpose in life-what I describe as my spirituality-is directly connected to finding ways to be of service to other people.
I work with adolescents and adults dealing with substance use and addictions, mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, or just the general stress of living in a chaotic world.

We all need support from time to time navigating life's difficulties. Anxiety, stress, and trauma may be holding you back from living your life. I use a variety of therapeutic styles as it relates to your specific needs. For example we may use cognitive behavioral therapy to understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are closely tied together, psychodynamic therapy to identify long standing patterns, triggers, and childhood traumas that may be contributing to current stress in your life and attachment therapy to better understand your attachment style and how it contributes to your current relationships and conflicts.

I believe that your therapist should feel like your best friend that is not your friend. I believe in the therapeutic working relationship. I will work just as hard as you do. You are behind the drivers seat and you are the expert of your life. You know what you need and want. I just want to be the tour guide throughout your healing journey.

I believe that growth occurs at the edge of our comfort zone. When we become complacent and just "settle", we have cut off our opportunity for happiness. Together, we can discuss obstacles, concerns, and life stressors, whether it be related to work, relationships, trauma, addiction, or life transitions.
I strongly believe that it is important to meet each client where they are at. When this occurs, I am able to offer an integrative approach, combining different therapeutic tools and approaches to meet your individual needs.
I have experience with and continue to see children (age 5+), adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
