The most important parts of mental wellness are the ability to increase one’s self-awareness and broaden one’s perspective. As your counselor, I will provide a safe and judgment free environment for you to gain a better understanding of whatever issues you are dealing with as an individual, couple, or in any other types of romantic relationships. The main goal of most clients is "to feel better," and I am here to help you make that goal more specific so that you can grow in the areas most important to you. I also strive to destigmatize counseling for men, Black / African-Americans, and other minority groups.

Hello, glad you could make it here. Has life's challenges thrown you off course? Has the struggles of your past been affecting your present and dimming your future? Have you gotten to a point in life where you just feel stuck and not living the life that you want to live? Unfortunately, many people learn to avoid the deep rooted issues that eventually compound and manifest into unhealthy behaviors, relationship problems, anxiety, depression and addiction. This can often be tough to acknowledge and let's be real, seeking help from a professional can be a daunting and intimidating task. But it does not have to be. There is hope.

I specialize in depression, anxiety, stress related issues, life transitions, and assisting my clients overcome repressed and/or unresolved trauma. Life happens and it happens quickly. As such, we don’t always have the tools and/or perspective to present as our best selves due to trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, and a host of other reasons. I partner with my clients to help them take a hold of the pen of their lives to create and develop their own narrative. You are an expert on yourself, and I am here to help you apply clinical practices to enhance your day to day happiness via your mental health success.

I view counseling as a vital practice that involves connection, commitment, and hope for change. I’m able to recognize the courage it takes for anyone to ask for help, and I want to recognize the strength it takes to chose to ask for what you need. I focus on approaching each therapeutic relationship with understanding to begin building trust and open communication. My desire is to be able to provide a safe place for anyone to feel heard and work together to allow for growth.

Life can be hard at times for all of us, and our challenges can seem even more overwhelming if we face them alone. Having a caring therapist can make all the difference in the world. I work with individuals, from childhood through adulthood, and I believe that all people have the wisdom and strength they need to succeed-sometimes they just need help finding it. I prioritize empathy and compassion in my work and use a trauma-informed approach. I lean on CBT principles and have also found clinical applications of EFT to be helpful with self-regulation and trauma. With children and teens, I make use of play therapy techniques.

I help clients, especially Black women, navigate trauma, relational challenges, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles.
You’ve built a life that looks successful from the outside—but internally, it may feel exhausting trying to hold everything together. In your relationships, you may notice growing tension, emotional disconnection, or recurring conflicts that never seem fully resolved. Even when love and commitment are present, sustaining closeness can feel difficult. I work with high-achieving individuals and couples who want to better understand the underlying patterns driving anxiety, stress, and relationship challenges so they can experience greater clarity, stronger connection, and emotional balance.

I view healing as a mind body process. Many symptoms—such as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or feeling “stuck”—are rooted in how the nervous system responds to stress and trauma. In therapy, we focus on building emotional regulation, increasing body awareness, and gently restoring a sense of safety and balance. I believe clients are the experts in their own lives, and my role is to offer attuned support, collaboration, and tools that foster insight, resilience, and meaningful change.

As a Jungian psychoanalyst, my approach focuses on unlived life, as expressed continually through dreams, fantasies, symptoms, and other symbolic material. By actively engaging this material and understanding its symbolic message, as well as demonstrating its relevance for life being lived now, suffering can be dramatically alleviated and a more meaningful, balanced, creative, and spiritually satisfying life becomes possible.

My healing approach can be described as client-centered and somatic. You are the expert on your own life and body and I will be a resource and guide.
