Hey! Have you ever felt like the pressures of life are too much to navigate alone? Do you need support managing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, self-esteem, body image, or relationship changes? Are you a woman seeking guidance through life’s transitions, or a parent/guardian of a teen girl navigating peer pressure, academics, identity, and self-confidence?
I specialize in supporting Black women and girls using a humanistic, person-centered, trauma-informed approach. As an EMDR therapist in training, I integrate expressive arts, somatic therapy, DBT, and psychodynamic techniques to create a safe, empowering space for growth.
My office is located in Prince George’s County, MD, where I am from, and I provide both in-person and virtual therapy. I have 6 years of experience working with children, teens, adults, families, and groups, helping clients build coping skills, emotional resilience, and self-confidence.
My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered. I am currently accepting new clients and would love to connect with you. Let’s work together toward healing, self-discovery, and personal growth.
