NOTE: I am currently prioritizing clients who are seeking assessment and letter writing services for Gender Affirming Surgery and legal transition! I approach therapy from an intersectional, strengths-based, and trauma-informed perspective, with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe that this process works best when a clinician and a client are equally invested in the client’s success; this collaborative model allows me to honor your commitment to the therapeutic process and your personal growth. At the end of the day, you are the expert of your life and your experiences.

I specialize in working with individuals who: are a part of the LGBTQ+ community, are recovering from Trauma Related to Religion, have ADHD, suffer from depression, are having relationship issues, suffer from Trauma and PTSD, suffering from addiction, and experience debilitating anxiety. As someone who is also a part of the LGBTQ+ community, I can empathize with many stressors that you may have that relate to that topic. I also work with individuals who identify as straight, as well. If you are looking for someone to join you on your journey of healing and growing, don't be scared to take that first step; I am only one call away.

Working in partnership with the client as an expert on your own lives; and as facilitator of gaining better perspectives and insights into your ability to improve your functionality and quality of life. In addition, I engage in a holistic approach that includes families and other significant partners. I believe that you are capable of wellness and a healthy life!

Do you fear the world? Does sadness overwhelm you? Are you anxious all the time and can't sleep at night? Is any of this getting in the way of achieving your dreams? There's a way to achieve a balanced mind and renewed spirit where you can live the life you want. And getting there is just around the corner if you have the right tools and guidance along the way.

I am an experienced mental health and educational professional with a diverse background of supporting individuals in a variety of settings including private practice, corporate, public schools, colleges/universities, and community mental health. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey towards healing and should be interactive, insightful, and action oriented. I partner with clients as they explore those issues that may be preventing them from embracing the quality of life that they deserve and unlocking their full potential.

The expectation in the counseling relationship is for honesty with a commitment of growth, healing, and self-discovery. My approach to counseling is that of person-centered and goal-oriented. My focus is to help clients determine his or her level of need and their commitment to developing the coping skills needed to improve upon their issues. I currently am a mental health and D&A counselor. My credentials include Certified Advanced Alcohol and a Drug Counselor and Licensed Master Social Worker.

No waitlist and now accepting new clients!

Is something getting in your way of living the life you want and deserve? Anxiety, trauma, depression, and life’s obstacles can feel like impossible hurdles to tackle on your own. That’s where I come in. I believe that healing occurs through our relationships with others. You don’t have to face these challenges alone.

As a licensed clinical social worker, therapist, advocate, and mentor, I have a passion for working with adults, children, teens, and families. My particular passion is for social justice, to which I am committed to work with families in underserved populations, along with families that are in need of support. My Undergraduate and Master's experience at Delaware State University has afforded me the opportunity to work in various clinical and mental health settings as a School Social Worker, Outpatient Therapist, Admissions Counselor in a psychiatric facility, and Mobile Crisis Therapist for ten years.

Because therapy is not “one-size-fits-all,” our sessions will be adapted based on your specific needs, tailoring the sessions to align with your goals. No matter the challenges you are experiencing, I am committed to collaborating with you on your journey toward your best life. With time and therapeutic support, we can all heal, achieve growth, and become the best versions of ourselves. My mission is to create a secure and empathetic space where you can openly express yourself, gain intrapersonal insight, and feel truly heard. If you are ready to embark on a path of healing, growth, and self-discovery, I am here to support you.

It is my primary focus to help empower my clients to make meaningful changes in their lives through goal-directed interventions and strategic planning. With twenty plus years of experience working with adults, children, adolescents, families and various mental health & addiction populations, I encourage the use of one's own strengths to overcome challenging issues. I have been trained to treat various mental health and addictions issues. I use evidence-based, goal oriented and measurable techniques to assist in the therapeutic process. This journey I promise to take with you will achieve positive outcomes and results.
