My ideal client may be a child, teen, or adult who is navigating the emotional weight of everyday life. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or PTSD, or feeling stuck in patterns related to self-esteem, identity, or body image. Sometimes the struggle is clear and heavy; other times it’s harder to name—you just know that things feel overwhelming. Life’s ups and downs can feel relentless, and I offer a steady, compassionate presence while navigating challenges. Together, we focus not only on coping, but on helping you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected—to yourself and to your life.

Many begin to wonder if their experience connects to ADHD, autism, or long-standing burnout patterns—especially when it was missed earlier in life.
From the outside, you’re doing well. You show up, take care of what needs to be done, and people rely on you. But underneath, it feels different. Everything takes more effort than it should. You’re tired in a way that rest doesn’t fix, and you find yourself wondering, “Why does this feel so hard?” You may have been told it’s anxiety, stress, or burnout. Sometimes it is. But for many women, there’s more beneath the surface—patterns that have gone unnoticed for years.

To me, the best clients are those looking to make changes in their life or get a new perspective on things, are open to feedback, and have a great sense of humor! I tell clients all the time- therapy only works if someone genuinely wants change, and if that fundamental part is true than than no matter how slow progress seems there will always be a path towards success. I strive to be a safe and often fun outlet for clients- sometimes therapy is just about having a neutral third party there to listen to you vent and provide feedback. It doesn't always have to be complicated!

My practice primarily focuses on helping families with ADHD, anxiety, and related challenges.
The therapies I use most are Parent-child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Parent Management Training (PMT), and Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE). I help parents in therapy, so they can help their kids. When working with adult clients, I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help manage anxiety and ADHD symptoms.

Right now, is the time to give ourselves permission to make changes that allow us to have control over our journey. As a Black woman & BIPOC therapist I am deeply passionate about treating mental health holistically. The mind, body, and spirit work together to bring fulfillment, but when the balance is off, things just don't feel right. Traumatic and challenging experiences in our lives can affect our nervous system, rendering us vulnerable, confused and at times stuck/frozen in fight and or flight responses to life. I personally know how beneficial integrating spiritual, mental, and physical health is to the healing process.

It is my sincere desire to add joy to the lives of my clients.
Each individual is on a unique path of growth, healing. and self-discovery. Identifying barriers to becoming whole is key to a life of fulfillment and joy. It is my life’s purpose and privilege to help my clients on their journey to better emotional health and freedom from patterns that prevent happiness, contentment, and security. All too often, we suffer in silence, and in doing so we experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, and disconnectedness. Psychological and emotional wellness are truly possible as new ways of thinking develop and shape how we show up in the world.
