Great to meet you!

I specialize in supporting Black girls and women who feel emotionally dismissed, overburdened, or disconnected from their own needs. Whether you're navigating grief, complex family relationships, or burnout from constantly being the strong one, therapy with me offers a space to feel seen, affirmed, and heard.

My approach to therapy

With nearly 20 years of counseling experience, I use a relational approach that honors your cultural identity, emotional truth, and personal history. Together, we’ll explore the impact of past wounds, set boundaries without guilt, and move toward the version of yourself that feels whole, not just held together.

What you can expect from me

My sessions are warm, collaborative, and centered on helping you reclaim your voice and reimagine your worth.
