Managed by Rula Health. Your call or email may go to a representative.
Welcome! I’m a licensed therapist who specializes in supporting adults through anxiety, life transitions, trauma, grief, and identity development, with a focus on African American women, first responder spouses and families, and college students.
My approach is warm, affirming, and culturally responsive. I know that all clients are unique, so I often utilize the person-centered approach. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready to grow—mentally, emotionally, spiritually—I'm here to support that journey with care, clarity, and a little humor along the way.
I support adults and young adults who are doing their best to keep it all together—on the outside—while quietly navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, or the heavy layers of unspoken generational patterns.

I support adults and young adults who are doing their best to keep it all together—on the outside—while quietly navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, or the heavy layers of unspoken generational patterns. My clients are often high-functioning but deeply tired, searching for peace, clarity, and a space to finally exhale.
