Great to meet you!

Taking the first step toward prioritizing your mental wellness is no small feat- you’ve already shown incredible strength by looking for a therapist. Therapy is a powerful space for transformation, and you deserve support that truly meets you where you are!

Therapy is my life’s work and I’m honored to hold space for others on their healing journeys. My background includes working in non-profit advocacy with adolescent survivors of sexual abuse and trauma, as well as supporting college students navigating unique challenges as they work toward their goals.

As a queer-identified, Black woman and devoted dog mom, I understand the importance of finding a therapist who truly sees you. I'm dedicated to helping you step into your best self with clarity, confidence, and balance. If you often feel stuck in your head, overwhelmed by overthinking, or weighed down by stress, difficult relationships, past trauma, or depression, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

I believe that the therapist-client connection is key. When the energy feels right, real healing happens. Let’s start with a free consultation to see if we’re a good fit. Your journey to healing and growth starts here!

My approach to therapy

Using an eclectic therapy approach, with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as my "north star", I help clients understand how their thoughts shape their experiences, break unhelpful patterns, and build healthier, more fulfilling lives. My goal is to provide a supportive, transformative space where you feel truly heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

Whether you need to shift thought patterns, build emotional resilience, improve relationships, or develop healthier coping strategies, we’ll create a path that works for you.

I help clients build tools to calm the mind, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and reconnect with the present moment. Together, we’ll work to not just manage issues, but to understand its roots and develop a more grounded, confident way of being.

I believe therapy is most effective when it feels like a true partnership. When the energy is right, real transformation happens. Let’s connect for a free consultation and see if we’re a good fit.
