Counseling can be challenging and anxiety-provoking, but also rewarding. We will work collaboratively to create a safe space for you, that allows you to feel motivated, freed, and emotionally competent within yourself. My goal is to assist you with being resilient during challenging times. My authentic and genuine intention is for you to feel safe to express yourself, and to reassure you that throughout your mental health journey, I am here to support you. I accept you as you are. We together can break the stigma. You matter, and your mental health matters. You don’t have to struggle alone or in silence. Take the steps to heal.
Depression, Anxiety, Personality Traits, Stress Reduction, Crisis Management, Trauma, Racial Effects, Self-esteem, Coping Skills/Self-care, Relationship Distress, Life transitions, Boundary Setting, and more. Individual Therapy, Family Therapy, Chemical Dependency, Crisis Management, and Brief Couples Therapy. CBT, SFBT, and MI.
As an African American woman, I offer healing. I am aware that there are limited African American counselors, which may deter people who are currently struggling that look the same as me. My goal is to break that barrier to treatment; it is okay to seek help. Take off the cape and allow someone to assist you with being the best version of yourself.
