For those seeking a culturally diverse and safe space, I offer in-person and virtual appointments. I have 25 years of experience supporting women, men (we see men too at Columbus Women’s Wellness) & teens, including lesbian, gay, transgender and nonbinary individuals, I will provide you with authentic support as you better understand how patterns and self-perceptions impact your relationships with the world around you. I will support you as you build tools to manage sadness, confusion, anger, family and relationship conflict, and intersectionality. If you are ready to take the next step, I am here to respond to your call or email.
As a Black female, I offer a nuanced understanding of how race, culture, and identity shape the experiences of my clients. I use this awareness to acknowledge the impact systemic racism and generational trauma may have on my clients' lived experiences. It is important my clients feel heard and validated.
Through empathetic understanding and a genuine therapeutic alliance, my clients are able to achieve personal growth, manage life's challenges, and improve their overall well-being. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where my clients feel empowered to make positive changes.
