Great to meet you!

As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor and New York State licensed School Counselor, I’m passionate about supporting African-Americans and other people of color who are striving to grow personally and professionally while quietly navigating mental health challenges shaped by societal expectations and career pressures.

My approach to therapy

With more than ten years of experience in the counseling field, I’ve worked in private and public schools, private practice settings, and religious institutions. I bring a holistic, culturally responsive approach to every client I work with.

What you can expect from me

Ultimately, my mission is to create a safe, empowering space where individuals can gain clarity, build resilience, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. I’m committed to walking alongside each person as they find their voice, embrace their strengths, and achieve meaningful growth.
