In my more than a decade of counseling, I’ve frequently heard, “You’re the first person I’ve ever told that too” or “I’ve been too afraid to admit that until now”. It is after these freeing moments that the real work begins. One of the best things about counseling is that it provides a safe place where the truth can be told! If you are afraid to speak your truth, to be honest about your feelings, or to just keep it real, it impedes the healing process. I like asking the hard questions, guiding my clients through having the hard conversations and motivating them to make the hard decisions. Let's talk about the truth!

I am passionate about helping Black/ African American individuals, particularly women and adolescent girls, experience wholeness.
As a therapist and fellow human, I know firsthand how experiences with perfectionism and people-pleasing can impact our relationships with ourselves and others. Throughout my journey, and while partnering with others on theirs, I've realized that we thrive in spaces where our humanity, vulnerability, and authenticity are handled with gentleness and care. I'm committed to cultivating a space where you can (re)discover your authentic voice and value in life, as well as the strength found in vulnerability. I hope that we can collaboratively identify the people, places, and patterns that embrace, celebrate, and empower you.

Couples, having the same argument—just in a different way?
It’s not just the disagreement anymore. It’s the pattern.
One of you shuts down. The other pushes. Nothing gets resolved—& you both walk away feeling more disconnected.
You didn’t expect it to feel like this.
You miss each other. Even when you’re in the same room, something feels off. Conversations turn into conflict, or don’t happen at all. Underneath it all is the question: How did we get here?
Couples therapy helps you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. Because it’s not about who’s right or wrong—it’s about the cycle you’re both stuck in.

You've tried pushing through. You've read the books, listened to the podcasts, and maybe even spent months—or years—in therapy. Yet you still feel stuck.
If you're carrying unresolved childhood trauma, navigating a relationship crisis, healing from betrayal, or repeating painful relational patterns, you may not need more therapy—you may need more time.
I specialize exclusively in Accelerated Therapy Intensives for individuals and couples who are ready to move beyond the limitations of weekly therapy through focused, personalized, evidence-based care.

You know that saying “Never judge a book by its cover”? Well, I can honestly say that the cover of my book does not match the pages! The pages in my book of life have equipped me with the experience to connect with ALL people. In my book, I’ve encountered many conflicts. I’ve been the antagonist and the protagonist and I’m just in the rising action. Because my pages are not all filled with butterflies and sunshine, I’ve had to work to find ways to help equip myself with daily coping skills. I am happy to be in a position to share my experience with others through therapy and educational opportunities.
