Life can often be hard and unexpected challenges can happen to anyone.

Taking this first step is often very difficult and I invite you to contact me and see if counseling is right for you and if I would be a good fit for your needs.

As a Black queer woman, I know that we juggle so much in life from family, relationships, career, and societal expectations. Especially if you are someone who is navigating major life changes like the postpartum period, parenthood, and shifts in your relationship, and overall identity, life moves fast and things can change without warning. This can lead to anxiety, worry, and crippling fear. When it all begins to feel too much, I have found that all individuals who feel this way just need a safe place to let it all out. My goal is to support you along your journey and help empower positive transformations.

I have extensive training working with individuals who struggle with a range of anxiety symptoms, and diagnoses especially trauma. In my years of practice, I have noticed that many clients lack trust in themselves and the ability to find a positive sense of self. People just want to understand themselves and become more comfortable with how they handle daily life stressors and others. To achieve this goal individuals need support with recognizing triggers and utilizing appropriate coping skills to reduce the negative responses to those triggers.

There is no such thing as an “ideal” client because every person is unique. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. While each client’s treatment plan is tailored to their specific needs, every client receives the same core commitment from me: a genuine, compassionate, and honest therapeutic relationship. Your goals, along with your voice, whether internal or external. are central to our work together. My focus is not on your diagnosis, label, or past, but on you as a person. I believe everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and supported in their journey toward healing and growth.

I am eager to hear your story and learn about your strengths, and the troubles that keep you up at night. You can count on me to have real conversations that guide you through these hardships. I am humbled to be
